Come join Kathy as she discusses how to select and plan for your electives for the year. She offers targeted questions to help walk you through the choices, design your own or purchase, how to do each of those options well, etc. She then dissects her visual way of planning out each child's schedule for the year and how to schedule each book you will be using. New to homeschooling or a veteran, hopefully you will find some new ideas and be encouraged!
