I need some help. I had purchased a few extras to add to our basics for our school year, thinking it would not be too overwhelming for my kids (or me). However, I’m starting to second guess myself. My kids average an hour or two a morning, which I think is plenty for a 5 [...]
This is my 3rd year doing hs w/my son who is 2nd grade (actually 4th if you count preschool)… I am nearly in tears. My son will only work when I am right by his side, even if he already knows how to do the page. He is so smart, yet hates school. It took [...]
I am not homeschooling my first grader, however, when we lived in Florida she excelled at a A grade level school and is currently enrolled in an F grade level school. I want to make sure I can keep her up to standard (and above standard where necessary) instead of her falling behind and getting [...]
I’m new to your company, and am transitioning from a very unstructured unschooling approach to something more structured. I have an 11-year-old son who is very bright, catches on quickly to things, reads voraciously, but has been unschooled. I’m looking at your complete curriculum packages, and am thinking I might choose the 5th grade package for him . . . but I’m not sure exactly how to make the decision.
I’m wondering, though, about what feels to me like an increasing number of DVD/computer-style resources that “replace” parental involvement (like Sequential Spelling). Yes, homeschooling parents are busy, but isn’t spending time with your kids as they learn a major part of the whole point? What is your perspective on this?

Absolutely! There are two things to be aware of though. All school P.O.s must pay actual shipping costs. Before we will accept any P.O.s from your school district we do need to have an application filled out, which you can download here as a PDF: Timberdoodle’s PO Approval Form 2011
So I am wondering if you have help with the lesson planning for just language arts for these grade levels. I have no experience with writing lesson plans and I am homeschooling 4 kids this year…

We know it is a lot of options to wade through, and typically we wouldn’t subject you to that. But in this case each curriculum is tailored to a specific audience, and offers something that the others don’t. Not sure which to pick? Hopefully this will help!
