8th Grade 2014

We homeschool year round. When we finish something  we don’t wait till the next year to start the next level,we keep moving forward. Often we start new things mid ‘school year’. For example IrishWrath started Junior Analytical Grammar late 7th grade and will finish this year, 8th grade.
