Eanie, Meanie, Minie, Moe.... Oh no!
So, the first year of school has gone great! I could do less with the "Mom do we have to school today", but all in all it has been such a growing journey for the both of us. I have literally been on cloud nine about it. That is until I got the dreaded question, " What curriculum are you using next year?" question. Its like that red siren immediately started going off it my head again. NO! I have to choose again? Folks. I'll be honest we enjoyed My Fathers World, but we have done the whole curriculum in about five months. It was a great intro to homeschooling, it gave him confidence. Shh... I'm not sure I would like to use it again for second grade. I adore the Charlotte Mason method.
I can't see our school without it, but there has to be other options right? I know, I know.. I could piece one together, but honestly ain't nobody got time for that. I work ten hours a week outside the home, while inside my home I'm building my business looking for people that want to do life with me, helping take care of aging grandparents, and starting a co-op this fall. Whoa, I just got dizzy thinking about it all. No fear, I have got God and my little essential oil friend Stress Away has got my back.
So, this is where you come in. What curriculum do you like? What is challenging enough with out dragging your kid screaming and crying to the table to do school everyday? I want to hear from you!! All you super seasoned mom's or dad's. I'm so glad that my newbie glow is wearing off , but I'm far from that seasoned war vet that nothing, I mean nothing has them shaking in their boots.
