FO4UR Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hello! I am introducing myself before I begin posting away:) I am Paula, SAHM and HS mom to 3 (ages 5, 3, 2). I just found this message board, and have enjoyed reading the posts on curriculum choices. I am using...or preparing to use...Miquon Math and SWR. I have been debating whether or not to do a 4yr or 6yr rotation through history (glad I have another year before I HAVE to decide that one:lol:), and am looking at Apologia Science for elementary grades. For Kindy, we are just reading, playing outside, and *trying* to learn how to write our numbers and letters. We also do Kumon workbooks while the littles are napping. p.s. I'm glad I found a place where I'm not the only "planner" who dreams of curriculum in her sleep:blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linders Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Those early years of planning are so exciting...I remember coming on the boards 2 years ago and lurking endlessly. Advice: 1. Enjoy the early years - there is so much to explore, don't get hung up on academics and curriculum (I heard this many, many times here, and have only partly heeded the wisdom - I keep trying). Go to the duck pond, do lots of field trips, paint, play games. Monopoly teaches a lot of math, really. And the kiddos can have fun beating mom. 2. Re: 4 vs. 6-year rotation...if you choose 4 year, do not get engrossed in Ancient Egypt. Do not, do not. Or Ancient China. Or you will be replanning to a 6-year rotation before you finish Ancients (ask me how I know:)). Best wishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill in Maine Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 HI! Welcome! I envy you just starting out with a resource as great as this. I just discovered this board myself and wish I knew about it years ago! I am homeschooling my 3 dc, grades 1,5, and 7.
