Guest mickel05 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I have read many of the posts on curriculum and found them super helpful... but also a tad overwhelming. I've decided that at least for this first year of homeschooling I would feel more confident tracking to a 3-4 day a week program that has already been planned out for us. From there I can supplement with some other things we are doing and plan to do (sports, art and science). Ideally we'd stick with a Christian-based program. The one I am looking at is Sonlight's Pre-K (for my 3 yr old) and Kinder program (for my soon to be 5 year old). I would add on Handwriting Without Tears. Does anyone else have another recommendation? Thanks to all and a very Merry Christmas to your family! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Before Five in a Row and/or Letter a Week. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Sonlight has great books :). At 3 and 5 I'd only buy the younger core and read through it together - even my big girls still enjoy those picture books. Get something for printing/numbers/letter sounds (we like CLE's K workbooks) and you are done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea_lpz Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I used mfw k with a 5 year old and ds, then 3, tagged along. It was a great year. We did school 3 days a week but schooled year round so it did take longer to complete but got done in 15 months I think. I loved the Bible, read alouds, and all the fun hands on activities. The math and Lang were just right for my dd's learning style. We also added HWOT. Another benefit is I can reuse the curriculum with my ds for k. We won't do the full program as he'll tag along with dd, but it'll be fun to revisit the Bible, Lang, and math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 We started what has been a delightful journey with Five in a Row when my kids were K and PK. We added HWT, and then learning-to-read and math, when they were ready. I blog about our rows if you want to see what it could look like. Link is in my signature.

Teneo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sonlight's read alouds are wonderful. We've also enjoyed Flowering Baby levels 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also use angelicum academy for math, and mater amiability (catholic and free) has a lot of good information and resources! Eeika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
