This is nice to have everything put together. I want to start Monday doing something organized for my soon to be 2nd grader. We have just been playing and cleaning everyday. We need some structure. We are going to bed late, sleeping in, eating terrible. Everyone says “who cares ..it’s summer”! But I can’t stand not even reading a book together the last 2 weeks. So I have got to put something together quick!
This is a great list! Thank you so much. I came across your blog looking for an image of the inside of a Kumon workbook because they get such good reviews. I have a homeschool resource blog at http://www.homeschoolwebsites.blogspot.com and have links to tons of websites that have free printables and worksheets and lesson plans for elementary students, and some high school info – but it’s mostly for elementary grades. So far it’s mostly phonics because my daughter is behind on reading. OK she’s nagging me to go to bed – thanks for the link and I’ll probably post it in my blog..if I ever get around to updating it! I love your blog!
