Are you ready to embark on an exciting new chapter in your homeschooling journey? As a homeschool mom, I’ve discovered a newfound love for teaching my little one. We’ve been on this educational adventure together, and I can’t believe it’s almost time for Kindergarten! It’s like upgrading from the toddler version of “Our Homeschool Adventure” to “The Big Kid Adventure.”
Homeschooling isn’t just fun; it’s incredibly rewarding. From witnessing their eyes light up when they grasp something new to sharing those unforgettable “mom humor” moments, our homeschooling days are filled with laughter and curiosity.
Kindergarten is just around the corner, and I can’t wait to continue nurturing their love for learning. We’ll be diving into exciting lessons, exploring new horizons, and, of course, sharing plenty of those adorable and sometimes goofy “mom moments.” It’s going to be an amazing chapter in our homeschooling adventure, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds!
But as we transition into this bigger adventure, we realize the need to up our game with curriculum tools. It’s so easy to get lost in the sea of educational resources, constantly searching for the next best thing to add to your learning arsenal. As a fellow homeschool mom, I want to share some exciting resources that we’ve discovered during our own Kindergarten Adventure.

180 Days Workbooks:
Now, let’s talk about ‘180 Days’ workbooks. When we first acquired these, I was excited to explore a diverse range of subjects with my child.

Nevertheless, I must acknowledge that these workbooks are well-crafted, containing valuable content and being skillfully written. If you’re looking for supplemental material, this may be a good option. Check it out if you’re interested!
