Our 4th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Picks

July 6, 2019 by Melanie Thomas 2 Comments

After some thought and research, I've decided on my daughter's 4th grade homeschool curriculum. Required Subjects I have to start by covering what's required by law.

Then I had to determine which days we plan on homeschooling in the upcoming year.  I pretty much matched the amount of days a public student would do.  However, we will take our holidays when we ...
