What a blessing! It's wonderful to...Praise God! What a blessing! It's wonderful to see how He is going to answer prayers! I truly pray that the curriculum will be a blessing to you.<br /><br />Chosing a homeschool curriculum can be so overwhelming. We are coming up on my 6th year of homeschooling and I still find chosing curriculum to be a hard task. Each child is so different, and learns in their own way at at their own levels. I have found that praying and not deciding until God give me peace about it, is sure way to go. Many a times I've bought curriculum and had to sell it later because the Lord had something else in mind. Every family is going to need something different to meet their own individual needs! We currently use<br /><br />5th grade-SOS for language arts and math.*ACE for Science, Social Studies, Word Building and Literature & Creative Writing. *Lifepacs for Bible *A Beka for summer readers & art.<br /><br />2nd grade-*Horizons for math *A Beka for summer readers & art and *ACE for all other subjects.<br /><br />1st grade-*Horizons for math *Scott Foresman Reading for reading and phonics *A Beka for art and *ACE for all other subjects<br /><br />And we use the ACE learning to read with Ace and Christ for Kindergarten. I've used it for years. I know it, I'm comfortable with it, and it's cheap since I reuse the manuals every year.<br /><br />I've tried sooo many different curriculums and found peace in these. For me, I have to keep it simple right now because I have so many young children. As the littlest one gets older, I'll be able to do more indepth studies. I try to get the basic education in, and really focus on Godly character traits and family unity. <br /><br />Once again, I am sooo happy for you and this new found blessing!Kristi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04496862944227818273noreply@blogger.com
