:001_huh:I am literally a rookie at homeschooling, just started last tuesday. We are coming out of public school with my 4th grader and 7th grader....anyone else out there like me? I found the WTM last winter and fell in love with the principals and so I have followed it almost verbatum....day 1 we were in school until 4:00 with 40 min. for lunch and excercise....your laughing I know, but we did figure it out and have managed to reduce our day substantially by using a new fangled thing called "THE CLOCK".....duh yup it's true....hee hee hee:tongue_smilie: What has me most concerned is my son's history, I feel like I need more structure. I love dd 9's SOTW cirric. it is fabulous and complete, but for my son I need more than just the KingFisher Encyclopedia and a book or two for the particular time line and some blackline maps.....help!!!
Also, for my daughter I got the recommended "Physics for Children" book, very simplistic and very outdated, Susan definitely mentions that in the book, I intended to do Chemistry for my son....we never got to anything this week? Could I just do Chemistry for both? What do you use?
The other cirriculum I purchased I absolutely love, but best of all my kids are really loving it, such a blessing to be able to be doing this! I am having a blast. I so appreciate all the posts and advice from those of you out there....God bless you all! these boards have really helped to reassure me in this endeavour, I have never posted to any other message board in my life. If you have a minute to help I am open to any suggestions, forgive my lack of akronyms....just good ole' full sentances here!......debbie:)
