I'm not at that point yet, but I do know that there are many curricula that are written for this situation. They're able to work in various grade levels within the same format. It seems to work very well for those families.

I usually start with my oldest and get him working on his work. Then, I'll start working on the lessons with my youngest. He needs a bit more hands-on attention because he can't read very much yet. Sometimes, I'll let one take a break while I work with the other. Then, I'll have art or other activities so we are all together.

I don't know if I could do it with more then two.

I have several groups of friends with 6+ (one even with 9) kids. They amaze me.

Quoting Bangtail:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Kayla [ ]♥:</b>" I love the idea of homeschooling, but ... [snip!] ... me."</blockquote> Did you check out the local museums? All of ours offer groups and activities that are not religious."

Our museum is only open in the summer, I live in a small town.
