I am in the UK so its a very different thing, my kids are 5 years, 2 years and 11 weeks


How much time during each day do you dedicate to "school"?

About an hour - my main goal is to teach reading, wrting, arithmetic and algebra, after that we are child led

Do you have a "classroom" in your house, or is it just your kitchen table? Where do you keep your school supplies?

Kitchen Table and we have a cupboard in the kitchen

How do you handle teaching kids at different grade levels at the same time?

so far works quite well - we are aiming to teach our kids to learn rather than teaching our children

Do you buy pre-made curriculums, or come up with your own?

Don't use anything really we have the Draw, Write, Now books which are fantastic and give us books to read, etc and I use a Peak Maths textbook for maths - rest we go to things at the library, Ellie attends Rainbows (Beaver Scouts for girls), ice skating with the local Home Ed group
