The Homeschool Diner

There’s a great website out there with some valuable information, especially for beginning homeschoolers.  Regularly updated, it’s called The Homeschool Diner.  Maintained by Julie Shepherd Knapp, it has information on how and why to homeschool, including information on special needs children and gifted and talented children.  Check out her “Click-O-Matic Quiz” to see what sort of curriculum and teaching style fits you and your family best!

Her guide to curriculum by subject is especialy useful, narrowing down curriculum choices from the overwhelming sea of resources available.  Of course, I find the science page quite helpful.  Visit The Homeschool Diner and check it out!
