Our Homeschool quest started when my oldest daughter was in the 4th grade. She would come home with 3-4 hours of homework almost every night. She was a good student and always made the honor roll, but we couldn't handle all the homework. My husband asked me if I thought I could homeschool our son who was just a baby at the time. I told him I could at least go through the 4th grade because it was still fresh on my mind!! (I cannot homeschool my daughter - long story).
As I began searching for information about homeschool and praying for guidance I knew that this was what the Lord wanted me to do. My husband only wants me to homeschool our younger children for Kindergarten. I know that God intends for us to homeschool a lot longer than that. I also have faith that God will impress upon my husband's heart the same when the time is right.
I will be using LHFHG with my son for Kindergarten. I had already purchased BJ Math K-5 and SSR&W for my son before I found HOD. I am not going to purchase a separate curriculum for my 4 year old daughter. I am just going to let her tag along with what she is capable of and see how things go. I am sooo excited to begin!!
In Kentucky I am required to teach 175 six-hour days for a total of 1050 hours for the school year. I am thinking of starting school in July so that I have a little bit of a time buffer since I am new at this. Our public school starts August 5th.
My dh would like the kiddos go to public school before they hit high school so my time is running out for my oldest.
