Happy Homeschool Resources
These are all resources that I either use... or plan on using in the coming year....or would love to squeeze in.
Almost all are free.
The ones that have a fee are marked as such.
A few are subscription sites that are pretty inexpensive... but are in my {very picky} opinion - well worth the small fee!
As frugal as I am (ie:cheap) there are two curriculums that I am purchasing for the year. Both are excellent resources for
ensuring that all core standards are covered in math and English. I've tried MANY trial versions of online curriculums and these two win hands down and worth the money! Both have short and fun.... yet comprehensive lessons.
Pre K / K - ABCmouse.com ($54/year for up to three children)
3rd & 4th Grade- Time4learning.com ( $36/month for two children)
