It's our 1st year homeschooling DS6 and things are going pretty well. It took a few things to figure out how to make it all work. You know where to push and where to relax and move on. I think we are in a good position right now.
Right now we use
- CyberEd (check homeschooling co-op) Earth and Space Science
- Singapore regular workbooks and Challenging Problems
- All About Spelling and SpellingCity.com
- Cryptomania (Greek and Latin words)
- regular 2nd grade grammar workbook from B&N
- Maps, Globes, Graphs Level C
- Internet Linked Encyclopedia of World History
Enchanted Learning, Brain POP, Discovery Streaming are nice resources for all of the above. Check out Homeschool Tracker, it's really helpful.
DS6 spends 2 afternoons in a private school. They don't do any academics in the afternoons, think art, music, theater (so now he things that's what's done in every school all the time :()
He takes piano, has a French tutor, goes to gymnastics and Mad Science classes.
