Lately, we have seen a lot of people asking questions about homeschooling. Our heart is children and education. There are a few things we recommend, we will write more in detail later after we get the important parts down.
Check out the laws in your state each state has very different requirements.
Don’t buy curriculum for at least the first two months. This is important, unless you have done your research beforehand. We will explain this in a little while. Go to the library and check out these books. Home Learning Year by Year, by Rebecca Rupp (excerpt from the book). When Homeschooling Gets Tough, by Diana Johnson. For those with children under 3rd grade, I recommend The Three R’s, by Ruth Beechick.
Visit a few local homeschool groups. Visit a few times. Find the group that best fits you (if there is only one group join it and get involved). No there is not a perfect homeschool group. We will elaborate more on this also.
If there are any homeschool groups in your area, don’t worry about that. You will have to worry about how to get everything done, trust us.
As a homeschool teacher, you will also want to sign up for our newsletter. Additionally, you can view past issues of the newsletter.

What Would You Do?
Give your children the opportunity to apply their moral values to real-life moral dilemmas. These problems are wonderful family discussion problems that develop critical thinking skills and explore character-building issues. |
