What do I need to know to successfully home school a 2nd and 4th grader?
I am a full-time working mom who works from home. We are starting with a Christian umbrella school to homeschool and I am really excited to have the opportunity to do this for my children.

I'd like some tips on lesson plans, suggested work load, and sites to get curriculum from. So far I have found some websites to get their papers off of, as the internet will be the major source of where I get their work, but I'm sure there are some good free pages I have not found yet.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Some moms write detailed lesson plans. I write out very general monthly lesson plans and I find that they are helpful and that is enough for me. I always do mine in the summer and type them up for the whole year. Here is a link for a free online lesson planner, scheduler, and tracker:

Here are two links where you can look at a scope and sequence. This will tell you what they need to know for their grade level. You can use it as a guide. I think these will be especially helpful if you will be using the internet a lot.
