If you are new to homeschooling, welcome! This is my one stop shop for linking all our curriculum ideas and homeschool resources for preschool and early elementary. We have personally used everything listed!
If you are brand new to homeschooling, I recommend beginning with my posts How to start homeschooling for the beginner as well as my list of Pros and Cons of Homeschooling.
We currently have a first grader, second grader, preschooler, and newborn so I will continue to add and update this homeschool resource page as the kids grow!
