Homeschool resources

I've been finding all kinds of free homeschool resources online in the past couple of years and I thought I'd share them with you. I'll make a list of links in the sidebar, but this post (and later ones) will have a short description of the website included with the link. Hope someone finds this useful.

A to Z Home's Cool
This site is chock full of information. You could really get lost here! This is a great resource for legal information, as well as a jump off point to find more information and resources.

School Express
We get tons of our curriculum free from here. Sign up for their free weekly unit studies and activity pages. (You need Adobe Acrobat to download the freebies.) There are also lots of links for more activities for your kids (all educational and fun). Great for all ages.

A to Z Teacher Stuff
Great page to find lots of lesson ideas. Also has links for tips and tricks, worksheet generators, and much more. Absolutely LOADED with links.

I think those three will keep the new homeschooler busy for now. Feel free to share your favorite links in the comments. We can all benefit from sharing. =)

Here I am

For better or worse I chose to homeschool when my first child (the Monkey) came of school age. He was very clever and intelligent and missed the cut off date to enter school the year all of his peers did. I couldn't see holding him back since he was already ahead of the pack, so I embarked on a dark and winding road... And here I am 3 years later and getting ready to start all over again with the Grub. And let me tell you.. this is one adventure that is definitely not for the faint hearted!

For my adventures in knitting you can check here: BS Knits. I may even toss in a free pattern every now and then, provided I can come up with any originals!
