AlisonK Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 After a lot of prayer and help from my wise homeschooling friends, my husband and I just decided to jump in. I will be homeschooling 2/3 of my boys in 3rd grade and PreK. I am pretty terrified and very excited and was told that this board is the place to come. So I am saying hello and if you have any words of wisdom I will happily listen! :bigear: Alison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary in KS Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi Alison! It's nice to "meet" you! I'm sure you'll do just fine homeschooling. Listen to Anj. Or me. Maybe just listen to me, then you can't go wrong. :D Have fun! And welcome to homeschooling! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Welcome! The curriculum board here is definitely the place for finding out about the wealth of materials available. I've learned so much here...and have been visiting since my first child was still in diapers. :) Jumping in is hard, but once you do you often find out it wasn't as scary as you anticipated. With support from a wise homeschooling friend you are light years ahead already. Blessings on your new journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3lilreds in NC Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Welcome, Alison! I was directed here when I started my homeschool journey, too, and it's been a tremendous blessing to me (and my kids, indirectly). You will love homeschooling! It's a lot of fun. And, with Anj and Hillary to guide you, you can't go wrong! If you would like other opinions occasionally, however, there is no shortage of them here. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhg Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi. I was new like you and I started a thread entitled, "What's your BEST advice to me as I begin my homeschooling-momhood". Go to the top, click on search and enter the phrase and check out all the great advice/responses I received. Most of it was really valuable words of wisdom. So.....that's my word of wisdom for you: read that thread! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 This is my first year with a 3rd and a ps'er and a 2 year old :) The advice here is AWESOME! I really thin the only way I was able to put together a great curriculum is because of this site. I am on my second week of school and we LOVE it!
