Homeschooling in
North Carolina And these words,
which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou
shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of
them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by
the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. Deut.
7: 6 & 7 I have links to
homeschool related information below. These are some of my
favorite sites. You can find information about the legal requirements for homeschooling in North Carolina at the Division of Non-Public Education. I adminster the California Achievement Test once a year to my children. I order it from Thurber's Educational Assessments, included on my homeschool venders page, but there are other places to order them.
Being a one income family means we are careful with our money. This does not mean I will sacrifice the quality of education my children receive, but I will use my money wisely. One way I save money is trying to buy my curriculum used either through email lists or message boards. I have some links under Used Curriculum below. One tip I have
for new homeschoolers anywhere is to ask for teacher's discounts
at some of the bookstores or stores like The Nature Company,
Office Max, Borders Books, etc. A lot of times they will give homeschool
teachers discounts. Also on my Helps for Homeschoolers page are links for free worksheets and other online activities that are free.
A concern of mine has been recording keeping. Our school name is Solid Rock Christian High School. I use the textbook/workbook approach. I make up our school schedule over the summer break. I have been using a software program from DataPlus Soloutions called Homeschool Easy Records this year. It is easy to use, but time consuming to enter all the lessons and information needed. I want my sons to have a professional looking transcript for high school. This program offers a transcript, report card, book list, etc. I have been happy with it so far.

my best to answer your questions.
