Hi there - I'm Kim and I just found this great forum. I've been married to a great guy for 15 years and we have 1 ds 9 y/o that we have decided to begin homeschooling this year after much research and soul searching. We've decided to use Sonlight for this year to get our feet wet - even though we are planning on omitting some things since we are looking for a secular curriculum. We're in the DFW area of TX and am looking forward to learning a lot on this site! Kim
Welcome! Lots of Texas people on here and joining recently. What's up with that? I know lots of great teachers from TX...so I would think their schools would be good...but maybe TX is just like everywhere else...
Welcome to the world of homeschooling and homeschoolspot.com! this is a great forum with very supportive fellow homeschoolers! Good luck, you will do great! I do a secular homeschool curriculum also, they are a little difficult to find
Welcome. We are Sonlighters as well. Depending on which Core you are using, it will be pretty easy to omit things to make SL secular especially if you are using Core 3 or Core 4 (or 3+4). Even Core 1+2 uses a main spine that is from Calvert School (secular). We're not omitting from SL but I can see how it could be done. We have omitted particular books, etc but that was due to tastes and time.
