Next year will be the first year I have to combine my children. This has been something I have been looking into ever since I started homeschooling. The idea of having to teach separate subjects was really stressful. However, there is a method that I hope will help you.

1) Topic Subjects: Topic subjects include History, Science, Geography, Bible and the Arts. These subjects can be taught topic by topic and the only different requirement needed is the are in the narrations.

2) Skill Subjects: These subjects include Math, Language Arts, Foreign Language, and handicrafts. Because these subjects are skill based, each child goes at his or her own pace.

All topic subjects can be combined with a required narration adjusted to his or her own level. And all skill based subjects are meant to be completed individually.

How do you combine multiple children?
