Hi everyone!
First, thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm so beyond nervous, slightly lost, but mostly just new to the whole homeschooling process.
I know I need to file with the state and plan to do so Monday, when they open.
I have read so many things on curriculum and beyond and just get lost in it all. I was just let go from my job, so things are tight. I know there are so many resources available to teach the kids what they need to know. My main question is: How do I know what they will need to learn for this year? Is there any way to do this without a paid curriculum & the text books?
I downloaded some free diagnostic tests that were recommended to figure out exactly where each of the kids are at and what we need to focus on.
Any information anyone is willing to provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for reading and for any advice/information.
