Mix in a generous helping of field trips, fun outings and pajama days for an exciting year!
I've been asked more than once if I've finished the big clean-up project! Every time I think I'm close, I end up pulling another stack of things out for planning. You know how that is! Photos coming very soon!

Kathryn loves Horizons Math, too! Looks like a wonderful plan and I'm looking forward to a few of those field trips with y'all! :)
