Drawing near to the end of the year, next fall my baby will be in first grade! I will start researching what we will do sometime this summer and I imagine updating here as I go. We are finishing the year off with the 3 R-s - reduce, reuse, recycle. My husband remembers having to recycle as a teen and hating it, he doesn't realize that his kids are young and want to do all they can. I am hoping to teach and learn with the kids, and add it to our life even more then it is. My absolute favorite blog to read is
here. She has lots of great insight and thought provoking posts on this issue.
I have not had a chance to check out these links yet, I plan to for next fall's curriculum, but am posting them here so I don't lose them before I get a moment to check into them. :)

A to Z Home's CoolIf you haven't yet, I suggest finding a local or internet based homeschool group or forum. You can find lots of great ideas there, even if you don't post regularly. I visit the
Mothering homeschool forums. I would estimate that the majority practice "unschooling" while I am more of a middle ground gal. But there are those who use curriculums, and what I like about it, is that there is such a variety of homeschoolers that you can receive lots of different ideas, and more then likely there are some who are nothing like you, and their insight could be great, something you would of never thought of on your own! So check out Mothering, check out local, or check out something else entirely. All I suggest for sure is to make sure there is variety, someone who will test you to break outside your personal mold, and go even farther!
