Gather resources slowly. You can always supplement your family's resources as you experience homeschooling and get a better idea of what you really need. Errant book purchases are usually returnable for a brief time, and opened software, unless damaged, never is. Keep your budget in mind, so homeschooling doesn't become an unnecessary source of financial stress. If you are turning to homeschooling under emergency circumstances, don't panic.
Help is only a phone call away.
If the school is pressuring you for a curriculum, ask if you can borrow a set of their books. They have reached the stage where they understand the fundamentals of most subjects and are still excited to learn more. All rights reserved.
