On good days like today I feel like they learned something. We used buttons to do some math exercises.
Does anyone want to share they're home school experiences?

How Is Home Schooling?
I don't know if this is for me. I really don't think I have what it takes to be a home school mother. We're too poor to buy curriculum, so I have to make it up as I go from other free resources. Thank goodness for the Internet! Trying to balance the two kids who want to learn with the other two who want to cry and have me hold them is very frustrating. I said I wasn't going to home school but Xavier turned 5 after the cut off date for school and he is so brilliantly smart that I feel I'm waisting away his brain by having him stay at home and watch PBS.

Hey!! Dont feel bad. Jocelyn is the oldest in her class because of the cut off date too. I went to walmart and got a few of those books that the schools use. They have pre k, k and 1st grade. plus older but those helped a TON when Jocelyn was waiting to go to school!!
Homeschooling can be a blessing and a curse. I loved being able to help my children to learn. I did not use a set curriculum either, rather a variety of materials and books I managed to find inexpensively. And many free resources from the internet. Mostly I just talked to my kids about what was going on around us- nature, chores, shopping, etc. Let me know if there is something specifically I can help with.
If you are just doing some of what you posted then you are doing fantastic and he is getting ahead and you are meeting his intellectual needs! It has been ExTrEmeLy frustrating for me and we didn't have the money either so that's when we signed up for the state virtual school but I understand that some people don't like being accountable or have big brother watching so I understand it is not for everyone.
I can barely get my dog to come to me when I call him - that's pretty much my homeschooling experience!
