[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are homeschooling 6th and 3rd elementary for now.  Keeping an open mind on long term homeschooling prospects, but we may send them back to FCPS mid year after vaccination.

We are currently using time4learning and supplementing with Singapore math, but I compared the time4learning curriculum and FCPS curriculum and they don't match, especially for science and social studies.  Any suggestions on whether I should try to match them up in case they go back mid year and if so, is there an online program that matches well with the Virginia DOE curriculum?[/quote]

We, too, are 3rd and 6th in FCPS doing Singapore math.  We used time4learning last year but abandoned it - it wasn't working well for my then-5th grader.

Everything I have read about being a covid homeschooler (and to be fair, this has lasted a lot longer than I would ever have expected) says to prioritize reading, writing, and math, and move social studies/science to the back burner.  I've really embraced that approach this year.  We aren't ignoring either, but spending proportionally less time on those subjects compared to reading, writing, and math.  I can't figure out what science fops 6th graders take - is it just a smorgasbord?  We had our kids pick a topic to learn about, and then have literature-based curricula to follow for social studies.
