Home Education

My children have decided they want to try homeschooling. The plan is to start the second week after public school lets out for the summer and see how it goes. If it goes well, then we will continue in the fall and withdraw them from public school then. We will school all year long, not just 9 months of the year, taking breaks as needed. Right now, I am looking at Singapore Math for math of course :). For Language Arts, I am looking at a couple of options: CLE, Rod & Staff, and possibly Sonlight. I really like what I see for CLE and Rod & Staff, Sonlight not so much. I was looking for placement tests online for each, hoping that that will help us to see where we need to place the kids. Singapore I found and they are free! Yeah! I also found CLE online for free; another Yeah! Rod & Staff: not online and not free: BooHoo!We will be going to a curriculum fair this weekend as a family to see what other info we can find. For science, social studies and electives, I don't think that I will have too much of a problem finding things online for them to do. We will see.
