Overview of "The Littles"

Ahh, my little Ian. He's my teddy bear, my emotional barometer. I love him to death!!

Ok, with Ian and the two littles, we're using HandsOnHomeschooling. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this curriculum!! I found it when Nathan was 2, and would have used it all along. It's designed for ages 2-5, so all preschool and Kindergarten. It's all laid out, day-by-day, month-by-month. No brain work, and comes in VERY HANDY when you've got multiple kids, multiple ages, multiple levels.

Now, don't get me wrong--I'm not a proponent of programs where everything's laid out for you and there's no interaction between parent & child. Nor do I subscribe to the mentality that you buy the "Kindergarten in a box" set and hunker down and "get your money's worth". I've seen too many cases of moms in tears, kids in tears, frustrated Dads, and looks of "What the heck was I thinking!!"

Instead, HOH is a wonderful tool, where the bulk of leg work is done. I don't have to stress about coming up with a plan for my little ones who are just as interested in "doing school" as their older brothers. I can go to their binder, look up their activity, and when I have a few minutes to spare, *BOOM*--school is in session!! It's great!

Of course, I am in no way giving this curriculum its due justice. You'll have to go on their website to learn more!
