Hi everyone! I’ve been getting several emails wondering what our 2012-2013 homeschool curriculum choices are! I’ve been planning like crazy, and trying to get everything in order.

I’m thinking about buying your K4 curriculum for my 4 yr. old and I was just curious if I’d be able to print it in black and white? I know that seems like a dumb question, but I wasn’t sure if some of the activities somehow needed the colors to understand the instructions.
Thanks!
Hi! I just blogged about your LOTW curriculum! Just wanted to let you know! I linked back to your blog and the LOTW curriculum! Thanks for all your work and dedication to your family and the Lord!
Sometimes it’s safe to assume, and sometimes is better not to assume… and this leads to my question concerning Typing Instructor. Your link takes us directly to Typing Instructor and not the kids version. Have you chosen to use the regular version? I think it looks better for setting up multiple users (kids). I couldn’t find a way to add more than 1 user on the kid program. Would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
Since I always LOVE what curriculum you suggest, I thought I would come back to your list for this year. I started a month ago with a writing/grammar program but we don’t like it. So I’m curious about the two you are using for 3rd and 4th grade. Writing Shop and BJU English/Grammar/Reading. Why two? What does each teach? I tried your links and was still unsure. I’m hoping that you can give me some personal input. Thank you! What a blessing you are to all of us.
How do you like “Math You See”?
My twin boys will come out of public school in two weeks from now and I’ll be joining the wonderful world of homeschoolers. I will be completely shameless in saying that, as a newcomer to homeschooling, I am going to swipe your ENTIRE grade one curriculum for this year’s plan! Thank you!
Hi Erica. I was wondering how you fit all of the subjects into your weekly schedule. Do you do spelling, grammar, history, science every day? Do you split them up? Also curious how you are liking what you’ve been using for science and history this year.
Thanks!
Carla
Love that you share your teaching curriculum, Erica! Thank you for sharing because it encourages me and many others to be disciplined in teaching our kids!
Wow! There are a ton of subjects/books for each level. How long do you do school each day? When do your children have down time or play time?
So I was wondering if you use your curriculum too on top of all the ones you have listed for each of your kids>
