  1. so I don't have to test my son until next year? (he turns 7 next feb) My daughters old school uses Terra Nova...so I can order that and give it to her? Do I give it to her or does someone else have to?
  2. In the state of NC we have to give a standardized test every year. Is there anyone here in NC that can help me? Where do I get the test? Does my kindergartener have to take it too? Do I test them at home? TIA
  3. what is the difference between phonics pathways and reading pathways?
  4. I started my son on 100 ez lessons. but I'm wondering if that's the wrong place to start him. he knows all his letter sounds already from his half of year of public school. these lessons in 100 ez lessons are very boring because he already knows it. should I skip ahead? continue on? or switch to something different?
  5. Do yall have curriculum recommendations for when I do start? I've heard a lot of good things about Apologia for science and Story of the World for history. How exactly do you teach art? I am no artist! and what about music?
  6. I took my kindergartner and 2nd grader out of school a few weeks ago. I started them on math(Horizons), handwriting w/o tears, 100 ez lessons(kindergartener) and lifepacs language arts(2nd grader). I bought everything in the grade level that I took them out of school in(k&2nd) and they are flying through it. I still want to add science, history/geography, art, music, bible and character. Should I wait until June when they will most likely be done with their current grade level and then start everything with them in 1st & 3rd grade level? or should I add it in now? and does anyone know a way I can teach all of those subjects to them together instead of separately? TIA
  7. Do I need to somehow show my kids progress through the years an through high school for their education to count? And to get into college?
  8. My 2nd grader reads good but is not a great speller.
  9. thanks yall! this was a BIG help! I do have another question...what is a "unit study"?
  10. My 2nd grader reads well but could read better. She has for some reason forgot to spell recently. She keeps asking me how to spell "when" and little words like that. Her handwriting is good. But I'm not sure what you mean by how her "writing" is. We are in NC on the Marine Corps base.
  11. So for my kindergartener "reading" means obviously I need to teach him now to read. But what exactly is "reading" for my 2nd grader? She can read good but there is also room for improvement I think. Is there a program I need? Or does she just need to read daily? Are there questions I should ask her after reading or worksheets or something?
  12. thanks yall! I'm so nervous! I don't want to fail my kids! Is there any curriculum/program yall recommend for the English/language arts part for my 2nd grader and my K? If I use 100 ez lessons for my K with math is that enough for now? or what else should I teach along with it? How many hours a day does homeschooling these grades take? If it's any help...my 2nd grader loves workbooks and writing and stuff. my K is a boy...wiggly wiggly boy full of energy and hates writing lol. but he loves Legos and stuff. thanks yall!
  13. I took my kids out of public school this week. I have a 3.5yr old, 5yr old(will be 6 in a few wks..in kindergarten) and 8yr old 2nd grader. I have bought Horizons math for them and that is all. I am so very lost and feeling pretty inadequate right now! I was planning to buy 100 EZ lessons to teach my K how to read. But as far as any other parts of language arts I don't know what to buy and what to cover for him or my 2nd grader. Is there a Language Arts curriculum that covers it all? Or do I need to get something separate to cover spelling, writing, reading, vocabulary, handwriting and grammar? Is there something that I am missing? And also can I teach all 3 kids science, history/geography, music, pe and art all together? I would love to know what others are using as their curriculum for each subject. And I'd also like to know how everyone does their daily schedule, as far as how long to spend on each subject and how many days a week. I am so lost! please help! TIA!
