Our 2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices For The 2018-2019 School Year

Our first ‘official’ year (that year when you have to file a Private school affidavit although you’ve been homeschooling right after birth) is over. And I can say I feel as though am getting into a good groove with this whole homeschooling. Am sure that’s going to keep changing.

Yep, what am still learning is that in the beginning you more or less are just doing the best you can. Figuring out what homeschooling, home educating, means to you and your family. Cherry picking ideas from others who have been leading the way before you. And praying, or hoping it all comes together nicely as the best education for your little one.
It’s no small feat. But rest assured, many had worn that brave visual vail before and succeeded in the end, and you and I will do great also! (Me: Praying right now. 🙏 )

Anyhoo, to get to the meat and potatoes. Here is Our 2nd Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices For The 2018-2019 School Year.
