The Best Way to Save in Purchasing Curriculum


Pray about where God is leading you Know your children as well as you can Look at what works for you as their teacher - often what you are passionate about they will be too! Dont be afraid of their learning style Dont try and change them into something they are not

This means listening to


Gods leading in your heart Not a veteran homeschooler Not the head of the homeschool co-op in your area Not your neighbour

So How does My Child Learn?


Structured, is methodical. Likes to know exactly what needs to be covered each day. Likes to work independently Loves exploring rabbit trails. Asks unrelated questions about topics. You start on one topic and end up somewhere else. Loves to build, play with dolls, loves puzzles and games Books, books and more books! Just give this child books!! Is competitive, needs instant feedback, likes to be stimulated visually Learns best with others! Thrives in a group setting.
