    My husband forwarded this message to me so that I could read it and
reply if I wanted.  I'm curious as to what curriculum you use with your
children.  I'm having trouble deciding what I should do with my son that
has difficulties.  With my daughter it's not that hard because she can
work with most anything.  At this time we are using Modern Curriculum
Press and next year we will be using some Abeka along with MCP and
adding the public school reading and social studies programs.  Right now
for my son I just let him work on the computer with whatever program he
wants to run.  We have a few preschool programs that are beginning to
introduce him to letters and numbers.  He is 4 1/2 and now finally knows
some of his colors, numbers, and letters.  He has been attending the
developmental preschool program at the public school, but he won't next
year because I'm not at all impressed with the pricipal at the new
school he would have to attend.  I would like to meet the teacher that
will be taking the preschool class at the new school and if she's really
good then I might consider sending him, but I really just want to have
all the kids going to school with me and my daughter.  Luckily they do
allow younger kids to tag along.  If they didn't then it wouldn't be a
good program because homeschool families almost always have little ones
tagging along.  Although I have run into several places that wouldn't
allow younger kids so we couldn't go there.
