Now that I am finished with my college classes, and life has slowed ( ha!) for a brief moment, I am catching up and planning, planning, planning.
I had a mild mommy freak out the other day. In our school at home we do not have a set curriculum that we use. I print things off, I have them do computer works, we read books and that is about it. No set work books, no online class they attend, and not a whole lot of structure. So, I went online and researched buying a curriculum. --------I abandoned the idea quickly when I learned that the few sets I liked and considered purchasing would cost over $2000 for my kidos. Um, no. I value their education, but I think it can be done a lot more frugally.
My next adventure, creating my own curriculum for each child. I have discovered half.com where I can buy various work books and study guides for as low as 0.75 and re sell them back if I choose. I can cherry pick what I want my children to learn and how I want them to learn it. The best part, I can customize the plans for each one of my children. If one child learns more visually, cool, not a problem! If another child learns by reading, great! I plan to work on it over the summer, and let the kidos finish up what I have planned out for the next two months, and hopefully I will have most of m curriculum planned and ready by September!
