[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pulling my 3rd grader out of public school. Virtual learning has been okay, but I know she would do better at home. How do I start in the middle of the year? I homeschool her younger sibling, but I started at the beginning of the year. Do I start at the beginning of the curriculum? The middle? Help! :)[/quote]

I pulled my 4th grader out mid year last year.  We did different things for different subjects.

For math, I bought the same curriculum the school was using, and picked up where they left off.  It wouldn't have been my first choice but it was fine for a semester.

For science, we picked a new topic, not the one the school had been using, and started the topic from the beginning.  In my experience, elementary school science is usually a series of discrete topics and content is less important that process, so we just covered fewer topics than if we'd had a whole year.

For social studies I combined my kids, and so he jumped into the middle of a study of history that his older brother (already homeschooled) was doing.

For reading and literature we just chose books that were interesting to him, and read and discussed.

For writing, because it was an area where I felt like he wasn't getting enough, we chose a curriculum and started from the beginning, and moved faster so that we covered the whole year.
