Homeschooling for Beginners

 Homeschooling for Beginners

• Having much more free time for art and music which have been cut from many schools.
• Get up and move when you want. Random Dancing!! 
• Wiz  through subjects that are easy and to spend more time on subjects that are difficult. 

• Going to the bathroom when you want. That is actually one of my favorite things about homeschooling
• Eating when you want
• Ice cream truck/Mini-Van...
• Graduating Early
• We have our own theme song!! Check out the bottom of the page for the link!

Here are the 3 things you need to know to start off homeschooling. 

1. Don't copy what they did in Public School. There is probably a good reason you are homeschooling...

2. Be creative!! Pintrest and Learnist are great sites to get ideas

3. Supplies These are objects that will make homeschooling more fun. I also recommend getting a Yoga ball for your child's seat. This allows us to gently bounce and work at the same time! You don't NEED these items but 1,3,4 and 10 in  This *Click* post of my blog. 

Worried about cost? 

 Homeschool Classifieds has used curriculum for CHEAP

Worried about what to choose?  

Switched-On Schoolhouse 

I heard this is amazing. I am starting this next year!! I am SUPER excited! It is Christian Based.

Verticy Learning

This is an online secular curriculum that helps kids catch up. If your kids are behind this is proven to help out. I have heard it is really good but haven't  tried it due to my longing for christian based curriculum. 

Christian Liberty Press
This is the best curriculum of all time. I used this since I was a kid. It is perfect for ALL learning types.
