This past week on the families.com homeschooling blog, I touched on several interesting topics beginning with some of the reasons I am glad I homeschool. A difficult morning prompted me to write about thoughts of putting the kids back in school. I also gave my top curriculum pick for several subjects and compiled a list of things homeschoolers can do over the summer. Here is the families.com homeschooling week in review May 12, 2007 - May 18, 2007.
