We are planning to start back to homeschool on Monday, so things are hopping around here (I have lots of last-minute planning to accomplish this weekend)! I hope to have the new 2016-2017 subscriber planner pages sent out by Sunday. Until then, here are a few homeschool freebies and deals for this week.
