Way to go!  Awesome plan.  I have a three year old and I work from home and am planning on home-schooling.  I do two things for money\n\n1) I am the office manager for a small construction company that I helped set up, with an in-home office.\n\n2) http://www.treasuretrooper.com/173384.  It's free, easy, and fun.  I do it when I check my email in the morning.  It takes almost no time and I definately look forward to the check each month.

Third grade kids love exploring and finding out about the world.  If you have access to pond water for example,  collect some and have them examine drops of the water under a microscope and then draw what they see.  Have them do it as a real "lab" experiment so that they also write about their observations, label their drawings, etc.  Do a class write up of their observations with each child contributing something to the class write up.  You could continue with a discussion of why we don't drink pond water, etc.  I have used this lesson very successfully with kids from about second grade to eighth grade.  It is one of the most awesome lessons I have used, and with some classes we have carried on activities related to it for days.\n\nTo sdd to what I wrote previously, her eis an answer I wrote for someone who asked for some suggestions on presenting ... some of htis might be basic for you, but some might help ...\n\nMake sure you project your voice, and make your voice interesting and expressive. Speak clearly, and slower than you would if you were just chatting with friends. Don't move around while speaking - try to stand in one spot, which makes it easier for those listening. Don't fidget. Try to use some humor. Use an ice breaker for the beginning of your presentation. One good one is to get everyone to tell something they have done that they think no one else in the room has done. You find out lots of interesting stuff about the group. Start on time and finish on time. Get their attention - don't try to talk over a lot of noise. Find ways to involve them - try to plan some activity that will teach them something and that will fit well in your time frame. Dress in a manner that suits your topic. \n\nGood luck!

First, find out what your state requirements are.  Go to www.hslda.org  or  www.nhen.org  so you know what is expected.  Then you decide what type of curriculum you are interested in:  all book work, computer work, on-line programs, correspondence type.  There are tons of curriculum to choose from.  You could also try to talk with other homeschoolers to find out what they use and why they like it.\nWith that being said, we use Alpha Omega's Switched On Schoolhouse.   We love it, it's all done on the computer.  I know several people who use Sonlight curriculum, Bob Jones, and Saxon.  Any of these are excellent choices.\nChoosing what to use is an overwhelming task that you have to be somewhat patient and persistent with.  Then most families try several ones before they fine "the" one that works for them.\n\nI did not mean to sound so negative.  We LOVE homeschooling and would never do anything else.  Choosing curriculum can just be a huge ordeal!\n\nGood luck with it all.

I hope you are not the one who will be doing the home schooling, from looking at your question! It is best to let someone else who knows proper grammer school your kids. Why try to teach them when you can't even write correctly? Poor kids!

Type home schooling in the search box over on the side of the yahoo!Answers home page.  There are 25 answers there.\n\nI homeschooled my children, and now my grandchildren.  It requires a lot of time and effort, but the results lead to children who actually know how to take care of themselves.  Instead of learning how to say what the teacher wants, they learn how to think for themselves.\n\nGood Luck

Contact the school board in your area they will have the procedures and guidleines in a packet for you.They will tell you what curriculums are acceptable for the state in which you live. Then ask yourself why do you want to home school? If it is for selfish reasons like you don't want your five yr old to leave you.Or you think they will learn bad habits, you need to think again. These things will happen anyway and your not really helping them. Ask yourself is your child already shy or outgoing? Keeping them home because they are shy is not good it only sets it in stone. I home schooled my youngest son it's not an easy task and it is a very big commitment. You just can't pick and choose when you feel like teaching and what you feel like teaching( although many do). You must teach even when you don't feel good or they are in a bad mood. What kind of relationship do you have with your child? Does he listen well? You'll only be hurting your child if you don't do it the correct way. Many home school children fall very far behind because mom is not very consistant or tough. My son is now in Public High School and in Honors programs but my friend who is home schooling her children do nothing but crafts and play games and seem very behind for their age in all their academic studies.She won't get out of bed until 9:30am and stops teaching at Lunchtime. They go shopping everyday. Is this teaching her children?? You also need some support people, parents  or friends who can lend a hand now and then to give your child a variety of teaching techniques. And you must absolutely get them involved in other activities in the outside world, such as soccer or ballet or some type of group sport. Not a homeschooling group. It keeps them too sheltered and they never learn how to put up with negative people. Which the world is full of. Hope this helps feel free to e-mail me if you have any problems and good luck.
