Homeschool Choices

I always say I'll keep up on this but then life comes and I'm back to doing nothing so no promises from now on I'm just going to write when I can.  I still love homeschooling but I'm feeling a bit lost there are so many things I wanted to do and now I'm just not sure when to do them.  I was thinking that something was to old for him but turned out now he's behind in it.  We joined a charter school and they want him to start persuasive writing assignments in the first grade he can't read yet.  So I'm wondering where does the we are going to wait for that and it's time to do this now come in?  Do I just say hey we aren't going to be doing that this early in the year while she possibly gives me a dirty look or do I just try to fit it in somewhere?  It's easier and yet harder to be in a charter.  It's no longer about what we want to do and I somehow have to fit in my own school ideas and their homework they would like us to do.  The easier part is it takes the guess work out of where he should be and gives me free resources and materials.  I'm going to have to think about what I want to do for next year go it alone and do as we please or keep going with this.
