Welcome to your new adventure as a family!! What fun!
Remember that no matter what curriculum you look at or what
philosophy you pick, your family will be like no one else's. don't
compare yourself to others. If what you choose doesn't work, try
something else.its a wonderful blessing of homeschooling. Also, I
have learned after 7 years of homeschooling, that its fun to learn
as a family, have adventures outdoors, sing songs, and do very
little book work when they are little, like Charlotte mason says.
You might like simplycharlottemason.com. Amble side online
looks pretty neat. We just do the 3 r's around here a few times a
week, like rush Beechick recommends. Then my kiddos are free
to read read read, play piano, do crafts, art projects, play, work
outside, etc. they are all being trained to do chores, cook meals,
and mostly grow close to The Lord and help and love their
siblings. My oldest is 12 and such a blessing having joyful
helpers! Every now and then I have to recommend a book of a
different genre but so far they r all doing great. We are tight on
budget too. I get math u see and Emma serle books for
language, then we pick up books at goodwill, amazon.com, or
checkout at the library. My husband loves to shoot off rockets,
teach them hunting, electric circuits, microscope, etc. does that
help? Feel free to email me if you have more questions. :-). Oh
and check out donnayoung.org for lots of free printables! Enjoy
all the awesome moments with your children. It truly does pass
so quickly. :-)
