The Big Book of Homeschool Ideas: Volume 2 is now available at Amazon and also on Homeschool Network which I was so excited to sit down and read. Because even though Charlie does go to Public School now I still try and work with him as much as possible.
As he isn’t getting all the help he needs in his school. So if things don’t change and I have to resume homeschooling him I want to make sure I am prepared.
So since I had read The Big Book of Homeschool Ideals which was Volume 1 I knew I needed to read Volume 2 as well to see what they had added that would help Charlie and I both out.
