Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick."

I think all I am missing is math for a well rounded curriculum. I will have to pick it up next time. I plan to do "Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe" by Michael Schneider. I would also like to take a Storytelling class next semester.
One requirement of all the classes is that I am to blog my progress and share my experience with you.
I have a PLAN. Now the adventure begins!
