Homeschooling ABCs
I was sold on the first mini class and
started the 26 week course after that! Thanks for showing us how to start
and stay going. We are excited with Homeschooling ABCs and feel
comfortable knowing someone cares about our homeschooling experience being
a success. All the planning is already done for us and we really like the
freebies and weekly schedule that make each lesson personal and fun!
Please tell us this will never end,
LOL, no really I mean it!!! Thanks Homeschooling ABCs!

Free Curriculum Links
Even though I’ve been homeschooling for seven years doesn’t mean I have all the materials that I want to have. I’m always open to looking at new resources and curriculums. I volunteer to edit other people’s work. I hit the used book sales. I’ve beta tested new programs. I won’t turn my nose up at a yard sale either. I also design my own curriculum resources and unit studies. Can you tell yet that I’m budget conscious?
One thing that I really enjoy taking advantage of is free resources that are available via the internet or by submitting a short form. In fact, hardly a day goes by that I don’t get something in the mail … even if it is just a flyer.
Below are some links that I’ve used myself or recently become aware of by being on some of the homeschooling lists at yahoo.com.
First, let me say that a good place for “free” info is the homeschool e-lists at places like Yahooand/or Topica. Just be aware that you need to read the description of the list before joining. Some e-lists are inclusive, some are not, and some say they are but do not operate in that manner. Some e-lists allow off-topic discussions, many do not; some have rules against attachments and other operate almost exclusively with this type of information. Several of the e-lists that I am on have some very, very helpful folks that will help you search out information that you need. Consider joining one or two of these e-lists for support, encouragement, advice, and/or information. [Please note: If email volume is a concern for you, both Yahoo and Topica allow you to set e-lists to either single message, digest mode, or read-only. Single message means that you get all posts to the e-list as a single message. Digest mode means that messages are sent to you in groups of up to about 25. Read-only means that you read the e-lists posts by going to the e-list homepage and checking the archives … if there is one.]
