Top 5 Must-Have No-Cost Homeschooling Resources:
(These are not listed in any particular order because they are all good!
Bookmark or sign up for them all!)
Jim Erskine's Freebie of the Day -
http://www.homeschoolfreebie.wholesomechildhood.com/
If you are not aware of this site, then I am excited to share it with you. Jim
works with homeschool publishers to provide you with 1 freebie each day. The
link to the freebie is only active for 24 hours, so you have to act fast, but
these are quality offerings and not just filler junk. Trust me, I have
participated in this program and we have given away a full U.S. geography
curriculum on one occasion and another full ebook on another occasion. Other
publishers are doing the same thing. So sign up using the "Join List" tab at
the top of the page.
The Old Schoolhouse's Teacher Toolbox -
http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/E_News/index.php#teacherstoolbox
Most of you are probably aware of their Freebie Friday newsletter (if you are
not, then sign up for that one as well). But the Teacher Toolbox newsletter is a
lesser known treasure. The Teacher's Toolbox is a great way to inject something
extra into your teaching plans especially when you are homeschooling on a
shoestring.
The Homeschool Mom Unit Studies -
http://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/schoolroom/unitstudies.php
Actually, the entire Homeschool Mom site is a gem and you should spend some time
there getting familiarized with it and find out what it has to offer. But I
specifically highlighted the unit study page because unit studies are a great
way to homeschool your children especially if you are working with limited
funds. You can teach them all the same topic but at varying levels. You can
often utilize library books and online information resources â€" all for free.
Donna Young Printables and Resources -
http://donnayoung.org/index.htm
Yes, this site is a treasure trove of lessons, planners and forms. There is a
form for everything you could ever need. I especially like her diplomas! If you
are looking for a specific form, a planner or a lesson for a certain subject,
make sure that you check here! Donna Young has so many useful forms and
resources that you will think you have hit the jackpot.
Homeschooling ABCs Free 5 Day "MiniClass"
http://www.homeschoolingabcs.com/
Sometimes when you are throwing it all together yourself and not using pre-made
curriculum, you can start to wonder if you are on the right track. Worry no
longer, sign up for the free 5 day mini-class at the site above and receive
information on:
What to Teach and When
4 Steps to Homeschooling Success
Homeschooling on a Dime
Getting the Help You Need
Planning and Scheduling
There you go a -Have No-Cost Resources for Homeschooling. Take
advantage of them. Let them be the fuel that starts your creative engine and
keeps it going strong. My hope and prayer for you is that you have NOT been hit
hard by this financial mess our country has found itself in. But if you have
been, then look for the silver lining amongst the gray clouds. As Patti Handy
says, Don't let a good financial crisis go to waste.
