    My name is Heather, and I'm a Christian SAHM of 4 ages 6 and under (DS6, DS4, DD, almost 3 & DD 11 months). We are from Lincolnton, NC. We had planned to homeschool from the beginning, but due to some issues this summer we decided to put oldest DS in public school kindergarten. Things were going smoothly, and we loved his teacher. Then we moved two counties away and to a new school district. We don't like the school, don't like his teacher, don't like the bus situation, and DS's attitude has changed drastically for the worse. We officially made the decision to pull him out at the end of this week. Since I have already sold the curriculum I had, I'm looking at a couple of online programs that won't involve paying a large amount (which we don't have) up front. I'm leaning towards Time 4 Learning $20/month, but also checking into The Head of the Class since it does offer the benefit of being FREE! I have plenty of supplemental books, etc. here, so I'm just trying to find a good core curriculum.

    Welcome!
    We brought ours home mid-year too. They were in K and 2nd. Now they are both in middle school.
    Best wishes!

    Welcome to the spot!

    Also check out lessonpathways.com

    I have lots of free resources listed here http://gapeachhomeschool.yolasite.com

    I think you and him both will be fine just using free resources from the internet and your local library for the remainder of the year. Don't freak out, and don't think your son is going to be missing out if you don't buy a curriculum until next year. Take your time, get to know your style and his before you buy anything.
