My daughter was public schooled through 4th grade and this is our second year homeschooled, and she and my kindergarten son have much more socialization opportunities at home and out and about with their mother in our community during the day, as opposed to the ridgid public school schedule where they are expected to behave like adults. We also participate in a co-op and Classical Cinversations, where they do art and a full day of classroom activities with other children their age once a week. People who do not homeschool will never understand something they know nothing about. Good questions, though!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748636301595111902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-60934118785950135192015-09-25T15:04:44.547-05:002015-09-25T15:04:44.547-05:00@Anonymous

My daughter went to public school until third grade. She went to all day kindergarten and science was not taught. At this young age it's more important to learn basic skills like reading, writing and arithmetic. Also, every homeschool parent must teach accordingly to school curriculum (whether by public or private schools). My daughter is now in eighth grade, she has all standard courses as well as biblical courses. kmfitzsimonsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-69946176988473105572015-09-21T10:10:39.591-05:002015-09-21T10:10:39.591-05:00we started homeschool this yr with our 6 and 2 .5...we started homeschool this yr with our 6 and 2 .5 after a tough yt in jk. for science we had our oldest help wirh canning help with math 2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-45500654684761218142015-09-20T21:21:04.876-05:002015-09-20T21:21:04.876-05:00I use Teaching Textbooks for upper level Math and ...I use Teaching Textbooks for upper level Math and LOVE it.

Apologia Science for grades 7 and up, and Abeka science for younger grades. Abeka health books. Abeka history and geography (except, because we are Canadian, she supplements those with Donna Ward Curriculum and skips Abeka's "America: Land I Love" geography book). Wordly Wise for vocabulary. Abeka art books. Easy Grammar (Daily Grams). And anything else to tailor each child. Sometimes, the children don't go through all of them. Or they wish to learn more. It almost, sort of, gets tailored to each child.
