Yes! Thank you.... we are getting closer to 'point and shoot' for this never-done-it-before home schooler.

Thanks to all of you for your awesome recommendations. I'm not as panicked as I was when I first wrote the post. ? Our district offers two options: complete unenrollment or modified Homeschool with required attendance 1x/week, lesson plans, and a $1200 budget to buy approved curriculum. So far they have been receptive to my suggestions, but it is overwhelming. It is the 'lesson plans' I'm suppose to submit that concerns me (what do they even look like!) I was hoping for a more point and shoot approach to this, as I do have part time work obligations. But, thankfully, my child is a quick learner.... I'm more worried about boring her. We have not formally started homeschooling, except today bc she was sick ? And, it was fun and easy... I'm so relieved.

Help! I'm going to pull my gifted 8yr old from the public school (for a variety of reasons that just developed when school started), and I need help developing weekly lesson plans. I don't even know what one would look like! ugh. I am familiar with the 4th Ed. book (many pages tabbed and underlined), and I'm considering enrolling in the Beast Academy for Math. I also have the Worksheets that help guide the resources for each subject, but have no experience teaching: how does one get started/organized from week to week? Page 264 of the book gives me an idea of the amount of time each day, but I need more detailed help. It seems daunting and thus, I'm worried about my child's level of enthusiasm and interest. Does anyone have a 3rd Grade Planner figured out? Lesson Plans? I'm treading water. Thank you.
