Homeschool Curriculum Choices: Kindergarten & 1st Grade

I am so excited to share Our Muslim Homeschool Curriculum choices for 2016-2017. 

In the U.K. my sons would be in Reception (Kindergarten) and Year 2 (1st Grade). 

We follow an eclectic approach, drawing heavily from the Classical approach and the Charlotte Mason method.




Please WATCH THIS VIDEO to see what books and resources we are using this year in our homeschool. If you want more information, or would like to buy anything for your family, I have given links in this blog post for almost everything that is mentioned!

I hope you enjoy the video and find benefit in it!
