Homeschooling help

I am unexpectedly going to be homeschooling my 7 year old after an awful incident at her school. How do you pick a curriculum? Where is a good place to look for info? I am so lost. We have the option of using a charter school homeschool program, but I really don't care for Common Core. Is it better to go with a school rather than do everything yourself? Any help is so appreciated.

Also, best decision ever....enjoy!
One curriculum I will suggest you atleast try is Math-U-See. This is THE BEST math curriculum there is in my opinion, and my son loves it too. Each level comes with an instructional video that helps alot. It also comes with manipulatives, which we loved in the early yrs. I honestly can't say enough about this curriculum. I have always watched the videos with my son, which is almost a must in the higher levels...unless you have great working knowledge of calculus! I believe they now have a spelling curriculum too.
One last thing, it is extremely easy to fall behind when you are homeschooling. Life happens and it is too easy to say "we have to do this today, so we will make up school on Sat." and then something happens on Sat. and soon you find yourself scrambling to catch up. My advice is to set a schedule and stick to it no matter what happens.
Good luck, and have fun with it, it is difficult at times, but so worth it.
We use connections academy also. We are homeschooling 3 of our grands. Our son graduated from connections 3 years ago.
