[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curriculum posted online is not all that specific. I know when my child was in Kindergarten, things like "fact families" made no sense to me.
It's way too brief to be of much help.

I wish the kids had some kind of textbook or online resource. Our child's teacher does very little in class and I want to supplement at home but it's tough.[/quote]

It's quite easy to supplement online in the early years!  There are so many great workbooks online that you can get for K-2.  We like Kumon workbooks, or Spectrum, or even some of the cheap ones from the dollar store are fine.  Now that the curriculum is a bit more standard, they often cover the same ideas.  I've found different publishers at each grade level cover similar material.

Or, just go on Amazon.  We do workbooks at grade level, and then go one grade level ahead.  Usually 2 or 3 pages at night, in addition to DD's homework (she doesn't get much homework anyway).  You'll also learn more about the curriculum yourself that way.[/quote]
