Are you looking for a home school or a private school? Because the way I see it, you aren’t going to be able to be teaching her at home if you’re a single parent and have to deal with schooling during the day PLUS working at night. That is WAY too much on your plate, because homeschooling is nothing like being a stay-at-home mom! Although I have nothing against Christian schooling, I don’t think that homeschooling is right for children either. Not to offend you or anything, but… Home-schooled children often have a harder time being with others, especially since they don’t really learn how to act in a socially-acceptable way, as in knowing what is appropriate in home vs. what is appropriate around non-family members and strangers (like “I have to pee!” at home and “May I use the restroom?” in a public place). They also do not learn discipline like those students at school, so in school/college (or at a job or wherever they must be responsible) they have a harder time following rules and deadlines since deliberately or not, parents tend to be more lenient and spoil their children more than teachers or employers do. Finally, they don’t get so much peer interaction and don’t make friends so easily, although you seem to know about this so I won’t go into detail. But try to have her learn to make (not keep) friends, won’t you? That is probably the most important and hardest social skill to learn. Sorry if you think I was ranting at you, but I have seen many home-schooled children who don’t know how to act normally in social situations, and even a friend of mine was homeschooled (she even admits she should have gone to public school because she doesn’t make friends well). I hope that if you do decide to home-school your daughter, you will be a responsible, loving, but firm teacher and give her every opportunity to become a responsible, social, and happy adult.

Next year check out an online charter school to help you.

http://homeschooling.about.com/od/kindergarten/Kindergarten_Resources.htm

My son finished the 8th grade in public school with straight F’s and went from that to straight A’s and B’s being home schooled. Online charter schools are considered the same as public schooling. My son graduated an online charter school and now attends University of Dayton ( a private university ) with scholarships.

Home schooling can work for some. The student needs to be self disciplined enough to do the work and care. Generally less work is involved with an online charter school than in a regular public school. You are also able to work at your own pace. k12 will customize your curriculum and make sure you are where you need to be.

This is the school my other children are now attending,

Depending on where you live they may be a help, if not, there are online charter schools all over.

They will provide you with the computer, printer, supplies and books that you need as well as teachers and academic advisors. This is the same as a public school but ONLINE at home. They will also assist you will any state required test that need to be done as well as teachers that are there to help you.

If you choose not to use a virtual school , yes you can still purchase k12 products. http://v7.k12.com/independence.html…

If you need anything else feel free to email me

I’m intending to follow the recommendations in The Well Trained Mind, supplemented with Steiner philosophies. It will probably help if you read up on the different styles and pick the one that suits you best to use as your foundation. Then you can add and subtract whatever you want. At your daughter’s age, she won’t need much, and it doesn’t need to be particularly formal. Start off with your local library, and ask them to order in anything you’d like a look at.

Depends on what you are teaching. Think about the things you’re going to be teaching, and think of a way to make it fun.

Have math class out on the driveway. Write out her math problems with sidewalk chalk and have her write in the answers.

Make a list of things you find outside and go on a scavenger hunt with her for them. For example an acorn, a pinecone, a squirrel, etc.

Go on field trips. Go to the zoo, the aquarium, the museum, the plant nursery, etc.

Just stuff like that. Take what you already have, and figure out a way to make it fun and interesting.

The quandary that lots of parents end up in is they don’t have enough time to search for the right eBook s and understanding design with which to show their kids but with this particular plan https://tr.im/UG9lQ , Children Learning Reading this issue is come to a end.

Children Learning Reading is very extensive, and your youngster could have number issues assimilating the lessons whilst the classes are well-designed. Since the device is dependant on phonetics, the training method is gradual.

In Children Learning Reading program the lessons are special and can not be present in different understanding methods.
