I am so new the concept of Homeschooling.
From what I have been told and what I have read so far...I LOVE THE IDEA.
My lil' man is only 3yrs and 7mths (yes I STILL count the months LOL), and I have already started US on the right path to schooling at home.
I was referred to this site by a Woman who has taught her 4 children.
My hopes are that I will receive the needed support to help me educate my boy to the best of my abilities.
If you have ANY insight for this Newbie...PASS IT ON PLEASE.
I thank you in advance
