PreSchool Planning

I am in homeschool planning mode!  I was up until 3:30 AM organizing materials.  I am so excited!

Because I plan to post our activities and lesson plans, I wanted to provide you all with a list of my curriculum choices as well as where you can get them.  That way, if you like an activity and want the curriculum/book/etc. to go with it, you will know where to get it.
