Dear Homeschooling (or Almost Homeschooling) Friends,
Over the eight-plus years of homeschooling my brothers and I have enjoyed, we have discovered some handy resources. These are the ones we have come to love and appreciate the most. I have tried to select them based on their endurance (in terms of time), their solidity (the depth of curriculum), and their universal properties (meaning, you may like them too!).
We understand though that not every curriculum works for every family. That is why I am going to ask you to please read the "Blueprint" resources as you develop or redefine your families home school curricula. You can fit the varied minds and personalities in your home without sacrificing God's everlasting principles.
I pray this is an immense blessing to you.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle
