It took me a while to finally decide that quitting work was the best thing to do, so I haven’t written much in here. We won’t have the extra money we have now, but it makes sense for a lot of different reasons (homeschooling being just one of them). So anyway, now I’m faced with the challenge of trying to get supplies together for the Fall, when Audrey will start 1st grade. I’m thinking our “extra” money is going to have to come out of our budgeted grocery money. I’m pretty good at stretching grocery bucks, so I can pick up a thing here and there. I also have some success with swagbucks , and I’ll be able to get some stuff off of amazon with giftcards I earn from that. I’m going to pick up using lessonpathways again too, which is a free curriculum for homeschoolers. I won’t use everything from there, but its a good guide and there are some good craft ideas. We are going to be using Singapore for math, and everything else I think I can kind of just wing. We are going to do early American history during Fall and Winter, and then pick up Story of the World to (which A will get for Christmas) to use from January on. I’m taking Early American History right now, so I’ll just use information from my text books and stuff from the LessonPathways site for history the first couple of months. We have a timeline up on the wall all ready and waiting!
Sooo anyway, I’m going to be giving everyone notice the week after my vacation I think. We love our daycare provider, so letting her know will be really hard. We are off to the library now!
