Save money
Homeschooling can get frustrating all this free stuff that's not so free! I spent almost 30 min typing out questions in to a free fill in the blank generator only to push enter at the end to be taken to a pay page!!!! Not good. I did find this site the other day it has everything I need to print or generate what I need and for $20.00 a year that for a year not bad!!! https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/ So hopefully this will help others!!!

Week 2 done.
Ok so I'm really happy with homeschooling and I'm learning a lot from this and I hope my son is. Some issues I've run into is free sites not being free. That is driving me crazy! I've also try changing from what I have scheduled and I keep catching it so hopefully that stops soon. But I am liking this. Have been working with reading aloud at it's going great.

Math
Wow, with Khan Academy math is no problem we have grown a lot in math. He has really worked hard with this also reading is really becoming fun for him. Next week I'm going to make it a point to read aloud more to him and have him read to me.

A new week.
After looking and checking out numerous so called free educational websites Khan Academy is hands down the best.

Week 1 done.
So we just finished our first week of homeschooling and Wow I am very happy.
I doubted myself until Friday and we did his week review and he had growth so we are going to continuing like last week and going forward. Khan Academy has been a big help! Next week we start the Cosmos series for science, Khan Academy for math and English for gym we Pokemon hunt for an hour walking or DDP YOGA.

Planning
Planning a homeschool day is not always the easiest.
I have set up a lesson plan guide for at home for offline education and with Discovery and MIT for education online. Field trips, library and socializing have all been scheduled or penciled in.
I hope this is the best answer for my son. I fear every day that this or something I do or don't do will effect his outcome in a bad way. As confident as I am about homeschooling I still don't know if this is the right step but to do nothing only leaves him open to fail and that is not an option. I want my son to do and to be anything he wants to be. Our oldest son once said he wanted to be a fire truck and we said ok be a fire truck and he did. I don't think we should limit our children just because they think differently or act a little different from other children. It's a matter of finding how or what they connect to and using everything we can to help them. Even if I fail, the time we will get to have with each other will be priceless. We have a lot of work to do but we will do it as a family. Faith, Love, and Family.

Math and Autistic children.
I will update this as I go. This will hopefully at a minimum be a place for other parent's to at least start.
here is an article on the subject of math and Autism.

Curriculum; Can be the hardest part of homeschooling.
I have searched and searched for a non-creationist curriculum with no luck.
Finally after day's and day's of research, I found this site.
http://www.discoveryeducation.com/
Wow! I am so happy I found this site and now I've got a lot of tools to teach him with.
This site will not replace teaching him but it will greatly supplement his day's.
Homeschooling Dad
So it starts.
My son is in the public school system and it's failing him. As a fifth grader, he is now at or just below grade level on most subjects. Thanks to the work our family has been doing to help him. Unfortunately, he is behind in math as most children like him can be. We talked to the school and they are doing what he needs this year as for next year that's where the issue is. The Middle school he would have been going to is not a good learning environment for kids not on the spectrum let alone kids on it. We have had three children already go to this school, so I am basing this information from our history with this school not anyone else's opinion.
This should read The New Old School.
