We got this.

Picking a curriculum! How hard could it be to pick one. Right?

Oh dear, what fuckery is this!?

There are literally thousands!!! Our house isn’t a religious house. We don’t band religion, but we also don’t teach it. There are morals of all religions that we practice. I’m a firm believer that saying you’re a Christian (I’m picking this religion b/c that seems to be the people I encounter that this fits) doesn’t make you a Christian. My oldest son is curious about God and exploring faith. I’m fine with all my kids exploring different beliefs. I have always told them if something calls them, and it doesn’t involve harming others or their self’s I will support them.

Okay we have went off subject. I had found unit learning worked for all of us. Unit learning is a curriculum based on one theme and all subjects revolve around that theme.

I don’t know if everyone has been able to watch their child grow and learn in what I can best describe a slow-motion way. I have watch one child go from not writing a sentence without crying to writing a story (don’t get me wrong he hates every minute of it) but we aren’t crying the entire time. Another kid hating math, to completing math a “grade” high than he’s in.

Although it’s stressful to teach two kids while having a toddler that is pottie training (stage 10 clinger) pulse teaching preschool too. Through all of this I have never wanted to turn back. Watching them grow and the stress of COVID disappear as much as possible while living in lockdown was worth all the grey hairs I got.
