Continuing my series of answers to homeschooling questions, I don't know why this is such an interesting topic. It's like asking a chef what he used in that sauce, even though you may have no clue how to tell saucepan from a stew pot and limit your culinary exploits to memorizing take-out telephone numbers. I also wonder how many people throw around the term curriculum and actually know what it means. Or which meaning they mean. Know what I mean?
For us, I have a list of subjects written in a notebook and we have a library. Actually, two libraries and an extensive collection of books on various topics which may or may not be perused over the course of a year. If I wanted to follow a school's curriculum, I would send them to school. Why reinvent the wheel?

I can't think of a question that you haven't already answered but if I do, I'll let you know. It's been a long time since anyone has asked me a question - they usually just say, "Oh, I'm so glad you homeschool." Seriously! I think it's the current cultural/political/world view climate that makes people glad that my kids are not in public school. Something good, for once!
Hey, thank you so much for your comments! My Dad was a major, major story teller and of course, my son and now even my younger kids are all story tellers. To have someone say I am a story teller, and a good one at that, is one of the highest forms of praise you could bestow on me. I'm not worthy!
I appreciate your encouragement and friendship. Everytime I hear something about NY, I think of you.
Enjoy your week!
