[quote=Anonymous]I posted previously about homeschooling my 3rd grader this year after dropping out of 2nd grade like OP did. So many posters ask if you can homeschool and work FT and yes you can. Spouse and I both work FT jobs but do shift work. I work 12 hour days so have more days off. Spouse works 4-12 5 days a week. I get that not everyone can do shift work. But with elem age kids you can do a lot of planning when you have the time do the kids know what they need to do on what day during the week. I found 3rd grade spelling words on Pinterest. There are 10 a week. She practices them every day then does a test on Fridays. Reads 30 mins a day then does a book report about every two weeks. Math out big focus is the multiplication tables because I know that’s what they would do in 3rd at school. We also do word problems workbooks. Science and Social studies are based on her interests. We have been learning about the school day in different countries, finding it on a map, learning about its government, then trying  food from that country. It turns out my 8yo loves Ethiopian food.... never would have guessed. [/quote]
