Looking for curriculum for 5yro's

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

Hello! I have twin boys that just started kindergarten. It is tearing me up that I have to send them to public school. I'm a single mom and right now I have no choice but to work outside home.

 

I am hoping to find some homeschooling curriculum that I can use as after school supplements to their public school education. I am interested in stuff that incorporates seasons, crafts and the natural world. Does anyone have old lessons or books... how does this work? Or can point me in the right direction?  I would rather find used stuff for little or no cost since money is tight as a single mom.

 

Thanks so much!

since they are only in kindergarten, and already in school - i would focus on playing and maybe activities if they are interested..   doing school all day and then school at home is a lot of school! my DD is 5 and we are homeschooling and only do a couple hours a day!  I like this site for activities, crafts, science stuff etc. that are educational and fun http://www.education.com/activity/  look at pre-k and 1st grade too, not just K ..

Thanks for the link. And yes that is what I am looking for activities but ones that are focused. I just don't have time or energy to plan them, that's why I want them all laid out for me and all I have to do is choose which one I want to do and be able to shop ahead for them etc...

What about Little Acorn or Seasons of Joy to supplement their public schooling. Have you seen these before?  http://littleacornlearning.com/

 

http://www.naturalfamily.50megs.com/  Seasons of Joy, I've used this one before, it's cute and she's an MDC mama.

Little Acorn is very well liked and she has an after-school program.  I believe she still has samples on her site that you can download for free  http://littleacornlearning.com/sampleweek.html
