Home schooling

I am Angie, and I homeschool my two boys. Tim is 5 1/2 and is ‘in’ kindergarten now. He is mildly autistic, he’s come a long way compared to where he was two years ago, but he does still have some problems. Josh is 3, and the way it looks right now, he’s gifted.

Tim is currently doing 1st grade language arts and math, 2nd grade science,and 3rd grade social studies on Time4Learning. He started in 1st grade science and 1st grade social studies, but passed those levels and we just move on. Josh is doing kindergarten language arts and math since there isn’t a preschool section for him, but he’s doing just fine!

I make my own curriculum, it just seems to be the best way to do it for us. I teach the core subjects, plus whatever else Tim wants to learn about. If Time4Learning has something directly to do with what we’re learning about, we do it. Regardless, we use Time4Learning every day, doing two subjects one day, two the next, and we keep alternating. Tim’s reading skills are below his cognition level in science and social studies, so I have to read what those say, but he doesn’t seem to mind. It’s great to find an online curriculum that helps my kids so much!

Hello:

Just a quick post to introduce myself and my family.  I am a first year homeschooling mom of 4.  We found Time4learning after most of our curriculum for this year was already purchased so we are using it as a supplement for this year.  I have one DD in 7th grade, who is going on 25 and another in 3rd grade who is going on 18….. I also have a DS in 5th grade and a toddler who rules the roost!!! 

The kids , and mom, love time4learning and I look forward to meeting and fellow-shipping with all of you.  Just wanted to share a little story.  Last week we were on a fall break of sorts and my DD 3rd grade got up and turned her computer on.  My husband asked her what she was doing and she said that she was doing her Time4learning.  He reminded her that she was on break and she said that she knew but it was fun and she wanted to do it anyway.   Yippie !!!!!
