Our Homeschool Beginning
It was in the mid-year of 2009 when we started homeschooling. I used the SSRW curriculum to teach my children how to read and write. I added some textbooks I bought from a local bookstore for teaching them other subjects such as maths and science. I was an independent homeschooler then, so most of the materials I used were mostly low cost if not free. There are a wide variety of homeschool resource sites I visit to get printables, teaching aids, classroom activities, videos, e-books' games and everything I need in homeschooling my 3 daughters. We used a vacant room in my mother in laws house as our very first classroom. We had 3 set of tables and chairs for each child, an old desktop PC and a white board. We had a 5 feet, 4 layer bookshelf full of children's books that served as our library. I posted the letters of the alphabet on the wall. We had a mini-bullettin board where they could hang their best works. It was a small room but it served its purpose.
