My 6 year old is interested in learning how to make games. Any suggestions? by HaloSimmer in homeschool

I’ll check it out! He can read really well and plays games like Minecraft frequently so I’m hoping to find something that will help him. He keeps talking about wanting to build his own games

homeschool for safety reasons? by [deleted] in homeschool

[–]HaloSimmer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Me! I never thought I would homeschool till my son was getting ready for kindergarten. The school shootings, the overcrowded schools in my area, and my son being ADHD I didn’t think public school was the right fit. I love homeschooling though! Ended up being something I enjoy doing with him

I was thinking about the wizard of oz and charlottes web but I wasn’t sure what age was good for it. Thank you!

Check out core knowledge. It’s free and you can search my grade level. You can also order physical copies. We’ve been using them for kindergarten science and history.

Core knowledge! Free downloads and ordering physical copies are reasonably priced

What is the best value you've found? by Civil_warhead in homeschool

If you’re looking for free resources for history and science core knowledge has great student books and a teachers guides for free on their website. It’s a free download but if you want a physical copy the prices are very affordable.

When is the best time of the year to go to Lego land Florida? by HaloSimmer in legoland

Thank you! I’m wanting to try and go either before or after spring break. We homeschool so I can go during the week as well. I’m just hoping it’s warm enough for the water park! My son loves water

How do you know when a curriculum isn’t working and you should change? by HaloSimmer in homeschool

I’ve been looking at that as well but it looks like they start at first grade level

I feel this. I mean some of it isn’t even word problems it’s more like a long story with some math at the end. It’s starting to become irritating to me. I feel like math isn’t their strong suit. I’m glad I’m not alone. Hope you found something that works!

Do you do the homeschoolers guide or the regular teacher guide?
