Beginning home schooling at the start of every school year, knowing what you just finished and where you're headed, is MUCH different from where kids are in the middle of the third quarter of a school year.
Right, exactly - there are already several online resources that can help you figure this out. Even some that align their recommendations to teach state's standards of learning. Why would I pay a person to look this up, when I can do it myself in front of the tv tonight?

I'd want to see how you were qualified first. Just because you've been teaching your own kids for 8 years doesn't actually mean you are doing a good job. (I'm not being a jerk, I'm sure you are doing great, but I'm certainly not going to just trust it because you say so.)

I wouldn’t even care if it involved a video here or there but right now I’m overwhelmed with so many resources.
You sound like a homeschooler. That is a compliment, btw.
But I’m not. So does this exist?
I'm the PP who posted before you - I've been using the packets from Education.com - they have one for pre-K and every grade.

There are already a ton of online resources providing curricula and packets on top of what the schools are already sending out, so unfortunately I wouldn't need this. Best of luck to you, though.
