"Ok, ya'll got my attention...what curriculum is this part of and is it a book that goes WITH the curriculum (such as Abeka readers) or is it is a book I can pick up at the library? If so, who is it by?"
Crystal Haber commented on Mary Friedeman's blog post Nervous...very nervous
"This makes me wonder a little bit too. This is only my first year of homeschooling. I have a 3rd grader that has been in public school since pre-school, and a kindergartener, as well as a VERY busy, attention demanding, tornado sweeping through…"

"Thanks Misty. As much as I've heard about how busy or hard Abeka is...which initiall scared me to stay far away from them, I ended up going with them...maybe that is what God wanted for my children? I know they were by FAR the most expensive…"

"God bless you Crystal for being obedient to the Lord. Your family will be blessed by your obedience. A Beka is a busy curriculum, but there are ways to deal with that. For example if you see that your child understands the concept, can…"

"I began homeschooling my son in kindergarten. He was a bit immature, but we made it through Abeka math very well. The phonics were a bit beyond his abilities at the beginning, so I pulled back and then started first grade a month early with phonics…"

"Well, Math-U-See is strickly a concept based curriculum, meaning they will study addition and subtraction for the whole year. It drove my right brained visual learner to tears, so we changed to Horizons Math which has a spiral approach. They teach 3…"

Thanks for reading my blogs! I am a homeschool graduate (not married yet,) so I don't have any homeschooling tips other than...
Remember why you're doing it and... no, you're not going to ruin your kid :) Also, God will give you everything you need and will equip you to accomplish whatever task He gives you!
You're going to fall in love with it! Blessings!
