I have a plan! (Units we will be sharing this school year)

I sat down this weekend and made a plan for the units we will share this school year.

For those who really know me, you know I just 'wing it' from week to week, so having a plan is amazing.  If I stick to it, it will be a miracle!!!  But hey, even if I only get half of it done, I'll still be doing great!

For the most part, I took the girls' Zoology schedule from co-op and choose units to go along with it.  I didn't pick as many FIAR titles as I thought I would--we've already rowed many of the titles that would go along with the themes.  We'll be re-rowing a couple FIAR titles.  I mostly choose HSS units because we haven't done them before, with the exception of When Agnes Caws, Sophie's Masterpiece, and Crawdad Creek--all favorites around here!
