As homeschool convention season approaches, you can almost feel the tension in the air. Homeschooling families everywhere are reevaluating everything they have taught the previous year and trying to decide if it was effective, good enough, or a total failure.
And many feel just plain confused.

Great list and very timely! I’ll be speaking at my local support group in the spring about choosing curriculum and preparing for homeschool conventions. The posts you shared will certainly give me something to think about. 🙂

Thanks for the resources! My boy is 2, my daughter 2 months, but I’m already prepping! I bookmarked the site for creating an overall plan for the year. And your baby’s focused face is so cute 🙂 Reminds me of my little thinker!
