One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is picking out the curriculum that we will use. When picking out a curriculum, you want it to be one that helps them learn and have fun along the way. I have used a lot of homeschool curriculum in my day and one of our favorites is Horizons from Alpha Omega. I like to purchase the whole complete curriculum set to make our lives easier. Let me tell you about our Kindergarten, second, and third-grade Horizon sets.
