Homeschooling Kindergarten Without a Curriculum

Shalom,
 I hope this day is well and prosperous for you. Today I want to discuss how I homeschool kindergarten without a curriculum. About 7 years ago we embarked on our homeschooling journey. We didn't have much money or space. Matter of fact we were a traveling family of 6, with 5 kids 5 and under. I dove into our homeschooling with excitement and rigor. It was awesome. We used different resources: games, flashcards, manipulatives, and one of those small dry erase boards from Walmart. Our learning environment was based on action We moved, we sang, we played. Matthew (oldest) learned so much that year without curriculum and he was his most happiest with education then too. We started using curriculum the next year and almost every year after which led us to unhappiness. Matthew started to fall behind and everyone else (including me) were bored and frustrating. This year I decided to do something different, we went back to the way it was that first year. We are homeschooling without curriculum!

New Beginnings

Lot of good things are happening and to be honest I have struggled tremendously for the past few months. I find my self after much prayer going in a directed path designed by God. What I have realized is that I am the type of person that likes to do it on my own. Prideful and arrogant. Its something us babies of the family deal with, always trying to prove we can do it. Anyway thats not a good attribute so I am starting fresh. I can't do it alone. I need my father in heaven. I need my family. I need my people, God's people. So here I am officialy homeschooling my eighth year and I am starting over. Throwing away all MY way and trusting his way. I've learned to be patient for his answers and it has not only helped my life but also our homeschool. So here is to our new beginnings and I am hoping you guys can enjoy the journey of our education and growth.

Put HIM first and be exceedlingly blessed,
