I need a curriculum for first grade. I have to turn it in to the school board before they release him to homeschooling and I just don't seem to be able to do it.
If you are looking for well put together and cheap, I highly recommend Rod and staff, its bible based, easy to teach and it covers a lot of turf in a short time but has tons of review. There is also a county curriculum you can buy as well, as far as I know, every or almost every state offers these, you simply need to ask for it.
As far as pulling off the internet, search for free homeschool curriculum, you just down load and print as you go, its all there, as long as you have the core you can pick and choose other subjects.
Go to the homeschooling group here on Cafemom they are awesome and many have been doing it for years with multiple children
I keep going back to this selection as well. I haven't embraced it fully but pick and choose (like from their book lists, etc). However, I believe all (if not all then most all) of the books you will need are available free online and somewhere in www.oldfashionededucation.com it gives all the links.
also utilize the library and interlibrary loans. our library is small so i place several interlibrary loan requests/week.
ask more specific questions, you'll get better info.
also check out happy homeschoolers on here.

Bump. I found what I think is a good mix from an old fashioned education and simply Charlotte Mason. Does anyone know anything about these websites?
I'm on my cell and I don't have an option for searching groups other than what I'm a member of

Quoting momtoBrenna:
What state do you live in? Can you afford $20 a month? time4learning.com is good and costs $20/month.

Okay, also, you just need to submit a letter to the school board stating that you are planning to homeschool with some basic info and an outline of what you plan to teach. Your state law specifically states that they do not control what you teach your children. They just want assurance that you will be teaching him and that basic outline. You can look that up on your state's department of Ed website. I am mobile some can't make it clicky. You should be able to just pull him and submit your notice.
Is it just me, or... ?
