    I am spanking brand new to playing around with curriculum. I found a special needs curriculum for learning about Christ and sacraments. But it's meant for use in a church with a group of children where the children wander from station to station.

    How do I adapt this to one-on-one?

    Here, you can read the book on Google

    I hope the link worked. Anyways, for this instance... like chapter 1, January's lesson... how would a seasoned homeschooler adapt this for use one-on-one? I'm not sure how to uhm... break it down and redo it so that it's better suited for our circumstances.

    I'm still skimming through the way the program is designed. Wow! What a blessing to so many families. I haven't gotten to the actual lessons yet, but when I am using any curriculum that requires a group, I participate like one of the students. I forget if your 13 year old is also at home, but if so (if you have even found Trollhead :lol: ), he and Snicklebritches can get in on it, too.

    Just be one of the students, huh? I'll read through the lessons again and see how I could make that work. Thanks. :)

    If it utilizes stations, you can set up stations around your house. A craft at the kitchen table, something on the kitchen floor, the living room floor, etc. Then, rotate around the house.

    How cool!!! Go through and see what you feel is ESSENTIAL to the lesson. These components you'll want to keep. Everything else, while they may be fun and really neat, CAN be discarded if you want to. Look over those things and pick maybe two that you like best, that you think will drive the point best for your child. For example, you don't need to have "stations". But you might want to pick the activities in one or two stations to do.

    Thanks. I'm reading through it again with fresh eyes. I could easily rotate throughout the house.
