  2. i looked at the free sites at first i was excited about the CSMP since it is free but there are hundreds and hundres of pages to print and alot of extra materials they say are needed. I will look into it a little more though before i rule it out. Any other advice? God Bless!!

  3. This is our fist year HS. My girls are 1st grade and 4th grade. I have slowly been choosing the curriculum. I have the Science and History. I was planning on using Abeka Math because a local school had these for very cheap prices but today I found out they dont have what we need. We are on a very tight budget and now I'm not sure what is the best Math to use that we can afford. My 4th grader is very smart but does not like Math and my youngest is just getting started. She knows all her numbers, how to count, typical progrss for starting 1st grade. Please give any advice and any curriculum up for sale or free. Thanks for any and all help. God Bless!!

  4. I have decided to use MOH vol 1 with my kids this year. I have looked through a friends and want to know if anyone used this product, do you have to have the two atlas that the website recommends? Also is there a cheaper way to create the timeline and the figures my girls are excited about doing this, just trying to keep the cost down. God Bless!!!!

  5. We decided to HS our children a few months ago after this school year ended. In the beginning I felt just like you. I have spent alot of time researching and gaining my own knowledge. Don’t get me wrong I am still nervous as we haven’t started yet but I am getting prepared. Prepare yourself for everything to not be perfect. Look up HS groups in your area and talk to some that have been HS to get advice. Decide why you are thinking about HS and make a decision if those reasons are reason enough to make the commitment. I had to learn to take a breath and one step at a time. First I looked into the pros and cons and made my decisions. Then I researched and decided what method I wanted to use then I started researching curriculum made a list of what subjects I wanted to teach and how, and found curriculum to fit. Now after the first year we may change everything around but that is the beauty of HS you do what is best for you and your children. You do not have a school board of state office that doesn’t even know your kids telling you what is best. Anyone who has a love for their child can HS if they put their mind to it. I hope this will give you some encouragement with your decision.:) God Bless!!!!

  6. In my family we do not wear any reveling clothes including our swim wear. We do this because we believe through our scriptual teachings that God wants women to be modest. With that said each person has a right to their opinions and how they dress, that is why we live in America where you are free to choose. If we go to a public area it is a sure thing that we will see things that we do not agree with but it is that persons choice and this is what i try to teach my children. I allow my girls to wear shorts (at a reasonable length) some people believe that showing of any flesh is against God. I think if you are going to go to a public place then you have to be willing to deal with what you will see. If you go to Walmart you are sure to see some man or women dressed in a way you may not agree with. Use this to teach your children what you feel is right and wrong and why. When they become adults they will make thier own informative decisions. God Bless!!!!
