Has anyone home-schooled for free using free on line resources? I mean, without purchasing a set curriculum?
This is my 2nd year homeschooling and I have 2 2nd graders and a first grader. I have done online school (virtual academy) and done the purchased curriculum thing and I really want to go a different route. Please only answer if you have actually gone this route. Thanks!
I homeschool my daughter for little to no money (other than inital purchases, supplies and field trips). We DO NOT follow a set curriculum and the only 'curriculum' I bought was a set of Ray's Arithmetic, set of McGuffey Readers and a McGuffey Speller, other than that I either buy second hand books, get it from the library, yard sales, thrift stores, freecycle,craigslist (org not com), or download from websites like www.Kaboose.com, www.OldFashionedEducation.com and other sites.
To find it for FREE you just have to look, explore and fiddle with your google bar...my daughter wants to be a Palentologist (dinosaurs) when she grows up and I found websites that I can download from regarding that subject just by typing 'Free Dinosaur Stuff'.
In our house FREE or CHEAP are the homeschool route for us. Prepackaged cost too much $$$$ and you still need extra supplies just to do the work.
