I'm Debbie homeschool mom to Susie 11, Katie 9, Noah 6 (7 in May) and Nick 5 at the end of the week



My thoughts are if the above worked well, next year, I could do Preparing and Little Hearts and be able to cover all 4 children with some adjusting for Noah 7. Nick will be almost 6 and can do Little Hearts. Katie will hopefully do fine with the guide as is. Susie could do the extensions again. I would have to think on Noah, but between the 2 guides and FLL 2 I don't imagine it would be that hard.
I would also like to add that I am an older Mom and I have a few graduates under my belt. I don't say that condescending, I still need help from those using these programs and for a lot more, I do not have it all figured out(obviously!!!)! I just mean that I am not so worried about rigor, grade level, .... I do have the advantage of seeing that I will not ruin them if I do/don't do xyz . My goal is to have my children enjoy learning and working together. We would also like the time to do things other than "school", and with 6 children still living at home with 5 of them doing school I need to streamline. Our year has been going fairly well, I have been doing Susie and Katie together. Noah and Nick combined for a few things, Noah on his own for others. The only thing is that it takes all day, Nick most of the time gets shortchanged, and Noah too has become hit or miss because we are all exhausted. I would appreciate any insight you could offer

Thanks so much,
Debbie
