First of all, I'm fully aware that I don't technically need a curriculum, but my ADHD needs some sort of structure… We've been planning to start with easy Peezy for math and potentially reading, but I'm thinking treasure hunt reading would work for that. Any other free or low cost curriculums that would be good for Bible… I could use easy Peezy for that but I'm not sure I trust it i'm going to sign him up for some science classes through our co-op, and I'm thinking generations kindergarten history for history but haven't gotten it yet. Any other free or low cost options out there I'm not thinking of? I already got flip-flop Spanish on Black Friday. I may do some books from Ambleside online, but their website is super overwhelming so I'm not sure I'll fully do their curriculum this year. Just trying to start really slowly over the summer and add things in. I have a teaching degree so we'll probably add in my own lessons when he needs extra help with things, but I really don't want to plan it all out myself and don't want to spend a time.

My kid currently attends our public preschool and has for 3 years, starting just 2-days-aWeek and now going all 4. He will be homeschooled for K, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep in touch with his PS- friends. I've got the numbers for some of the parents, but haven't met them all and he always talks about certain kids. Should I just send a note to go to all kids in his class saying that if they want to keep in touch this is our number? Is that weird? Idk. lol We'll be having preschool graduation next week so I'm hoping he'll introduce me to his friends and by extention there parents, but I'm not sure how well that'll work.

So, found out that we have quite a bit of water damage and mold in our basement. We are getting rid of everything we can… Including things we didn't plan to get rid of… So pretty much the only things that will be in our basement are our washer and dryer. We are planning to remediate, but need to do more research and find the safest and best way to do it. My issue is I was planning to homeschool my kindergarten next year. I also have a two year-old. I am wondering if I really should consider considering it would mean he is constantly, or near constantly, in the environment where mold is present. we can go outside and go to the library and things like that sometimes, but definitely not every day especially in the winter. I am not certain if the mold is causing issues, but it is definitely possible because he has had a lot of ear infections. I'm hoping we can get out of this house eventually, but that would involve selling it which would be difficult.

Should I send him to public school so that he can be out of the environment for several hours most of the week and see if that helps healthwise? I am just an anxious exhausted mess and want to do what's best for my kids.

Why I want to homeschool is to incorporate Bible in Spanish, have more time with my child and not have him needing to be in school all day, and the fact that our education system is going to hell in a handbasket. Our schools around us, the one he will go to, is pretty good but it's still public school.

I hope this makes sense and isn't too rambling… I haven't slept much the past few days.
