Homeschooling
Welcome to the homeschooling site for first grade curriculum, printables, games, activities, advice, support and so much more.
We're a homeschooling family to 2 children, a first grader and a Pre-K/Kindergartener. Since I'm living in that moment, I'm able to give you an inside look to what life as a homeschooling family really looks like, at least through my eyes. Check out my Homeschooling Blog and follow us on our own homeschooling journey. Some of our experiences are wonderful and exciting, some stressful and challenging, but it all comes together at the end of the day and we wouldn't have things any other way.

- This looks really helpful. I, too, am homeschooling a first grader and a pre-k, but you seem much more organized than I am. I'm definitely going to have to look this lens over more closely--after the munchkinds (including the 1-year-old) are in bed for the night.
