That is a hard one. Every homeschool family is different, it depends on the child the family's schedule, what you want them to learn, how they will learn best, etc.. I know for me I use My Father's World curriculum and I do love it. I know that was not much help, but you will get into the swing of things and know how you want it to look and so on.The Joys of having Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681326040970378254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194770379229126990.post-66284528484977310462008-07-22T10:03:00.000-07:002008-07-22T10:03:00.000-07:00ahh, the school dilemma.

He is in 5th grade, although I think we're speeding through. He's reading and language arts level is more 6-7th grade. He'll probably be in 6th grade before too long. <BR/><BR/>I could probably start my 4 yr old in kindie this year but nothing official since he couldn't attend public school this year. He is learning to read right now (his request). <BR/><BR/>I say my 2 yr old is also in school just to appease his desire to be like his big brothers. lol So I suppose that would be pre-pre-preschool. =)<BR/><BR/>My littlest guy is content being just a baby for now! =)Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827480330885809241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194770379229126990.post-41544505048433072272008-07-22T00:12:00.000-07:002008-07-22T00:12:00.000-07:00I just came over from the PW blog,and HAVE to ask ...I just came over from the PW blog,<BR/>and HAVE to ask - you left a comment LOL, regarding Ree's post <BR/>about her beloved dog Nell who <BR/>has gone missing. <BR/>I'll be back - can you explain <BR/>the LOL to me ? <BR/>I just read one post of yours and you seem unlikely to leave anything<BR/>that heartless?

For one year I was juggling three different schools with my three boys. It was not fun, let me tell ya! Way too much to keep track of. Last year they were all in public school for the first time, and all on the same schedule, whew.
