As I have written earlier, we are going to take 54 weeks instead of 36 to do this year, because all three kids are skipping a year academically.

There are a couple of history topics that I am not sure what book we will use. There just didn't seem to be a good edition for kids out there on Cromwell, or the French Revolution. Who would have thought...
