    I'm homeschooling ds (age 6). We're using materials designed for several different grade levels. I've been struggling with the constant adjustment--finding the perfect thing and in a few months, it's no longer a fit. We feel very thankful to have the option of homeschooling however.

    Yes, we are pretty much unschooling right now,because I'm at a loss. :-/ I'm not sure if I will ever feel confident about this!

    I can spell, I just can't type on my iPad.

    I'm still here with my ds4 & dd1. Just ordered the next round of Singapore books and MCT's Peter Pan. TWTM's practice of separating narration, dictation, and copy work. Supercharged Science is our splurge. Introducing history maps, timelines, and stories, nothing complicated. We don't do everything. We just do a little of something every day and make a little progress.

    Cecilia (or others), can you share how you partial homeschool and how you worked it out with the school? I have heard of people doing this and I would love to do something like that, but I am not sure how to go about it!
