OUR CURRENT CURRICULUM/MATERIALS:

Ben is using the Oak Meadow 1st Grade curriculum and Reading Eggs.
I'm a pretty relaxed homeschooler. We do school around life, not life around school. We use a fun, hands on curriculum that isn't overly time consuming and isn't dry or textbookish, and we're always willing to drop it for the time being if something fun or interesting comes up.
