As we kick off our school year this week, it’s time to post our annual homeschool curriculum list! I’m no expert, but I love sharing what we’re doing and reading what others are using.

Big J is a second grader and Little J is in kindergarten. This list may seem super long, but we obviously don’t do every thing every single day. Some are daily, some weekly, some we’re just trying out, and some are just a week long or seasonal!

Several of these homeschool curriculum books or companies are ones we have used before and continue to love, particularly A Reason for Handwriting/Spelling and Math-U-See, but we’re exploring some new ones as well! I’ve put a * next to the curriculum that is new to us this year. I will edit this list as the year goes on if we add or stop doing anything!

We also started a couple weeks before school with the awesome Brain Quest workbooks to get the boys back in school mode in a fun way {grade 1 for Little J, grade 2 for Big J}! The boys and I both like them so much, we’re continuing to use them as supplemental material for the school year!
