In the homeschool world, curriculum talk is inevitable. Homeschool parents often like to pick each other's brain about their curriculum choices and bounce around different ideas. Many times during these conversations the best-mixed curriculums are born. If you are new to homeschooling you might be wondering what the heck is a Mixed Curriculum?

A curriculum is considered mixed when we use a different Style/Writer/Publisher (in other words a different book) for each subject we are teaching within a school grade.

When we first started homeschooling 5 years ago, I felt absolutely clueless having no idea how to put together a curriculum for our Kindergarten year. After reaching out to different people and not getting straight answers, I decided it was best to go with a "Boxed Curriculum". I ended up purchasing the Abeka Kindergarten Parent & Child Complete Curriculum kits.
