The decision to homeschool our children came with ease. It was an obvious choice; the school system is struggling academically, and as caring parents, my husband and I want our boys to have a strong religious and personal sense of self that is not taught by people that have no real care for our boys' well being. However, it is now that the true test is starting as we try and figure out what is the best curriculum for them. Our oldest would technically only be in Preschool, yet he is more in the range of a Kindergartner level.
Some choices were easier to make than others:
Handwriting: Handwriting without Tears
Math: Right Start
Handwriting was the first curriculum that was chosen back at my first visit to the Florida Homeschool Conference of 2009, yet it took some time to find the right math program. Luk is a hands-on boy, and it was the many different manipulative exercises that sold us on this curriculum.
These blogs will depict what we are going through in picking our boys' education. Along with the things that we learn along the way. The next blog will help those that are living in Florida, the laws, and the decisions that have to be made on evaluations and methods.
