It's amazing how hard it is to plan homeschooling things when you have a large family. Unschooling just is not working for us, so we are going back to relaxed homeschooling. The kids like plans and routine and activities, so I am trying to organize a school year that somehow accomodates a new baby coming in November and starting a month early so we can get things done. So far I have to plan Kindergarten, 3rd grade, and 4th grade for my kids with a toddler in the mix who likes to be involved. I have no money to really spend, so thank goodness for the library! I have tons of homeschooling stuff to sell so we can buy things for this coming year that I can't find at the library and that is a big hassle, too. I think I should have started this in January...
So far these are the things I am pondering and trying to shorten. This is way to much to actually do! Some of the things like physics and chemistry are for when the baby is born and little. My husband is a chemist and these are things he would be really good at teaching them to give them something to do!
