Do you supplement PS or do your own thing?

We do our own thing, too. If there is ever something that will need to be supplemented, I would try to do that as well. So far, that hasn't happened.

Mostly do my own thing. Teaching Latin at home, ancient history, science, and moving ahead in math and reading.

We've been doing science and history on the WTM schedule. In math and LA, I alternate between reinforcing school stuff and giving DC a boost.

For math, do you try to align what you are doing at home with what they are doing at school? Do you find any issues if you are working on one concept at home and another at school?

We unwillingly moved from full-time homeschooling to full-time ps, so I hold on for dear life to what were doing before. In many areas, especially math, our ps is inadequate.

The only negative issues between teaching nearly a full curriculum at home and another being taught at school have been that dc are often bored with the pace and content at school. We do sometimes come across content at home that they've already picked up on as well, but then we're able to move on. A classroom of 25 can't do that.

For most subjects, ps is supplementary to what we do at home, but I am happy for them to have science, music, art, all the extracurriculars, and easy access to friendships that ps provides.
