Homeschool Freebies!

   Since my husband is now working in the non-profit sector I have had to get VERY creative with our budgeting and this includes homeschooling.   Our school year runs July 1 to June 1,  so we school practically year round.  I am working on getting together what we need for this 2014-2015 school year and it is has been a bit more challenging with no disposable income.  I will do a later post about what our actual choices are, but for now I wanted to share some of my favorite free homeschool resources that I have found in my searching.  Please leave a comment if you know of something that I have left out.


My very favorite is a resource you may already know about.  It is Easy Peasy All-In-One- Homeschool.   It is a complete curriculum that is put together by one amazing mama for all to use!  Gee, thanks!  There is now a high school edition as well.  


Another great one for all you Charlotte Mason fans in Ambleside Online.  A very literature rich curriculum for 1st through 12th grade.


One website I found is a great resource for middle and high school courses that are all online.  It is called Hippo Campus.  It has online courses for everything from math to humanities and is a great resource for college prep.

Another resource for higher level courses is Coursera.  It has over 400 courses online from top universities for free!

I have one child who struggles with reading so, Librivox has been AH-MAZING for her!  I downloaded their app onto her iPod and now she is intently listening to classics like King Arthur and Robin Hood!

As far as science goes I found a this website that has links to a bunch of creation science videos.  I am hoping to use these this year with my two oldest girls.

Unit studies are something I really enjoyed doing with my oldest daughter and here is a link to a ton of free ones.  Another great resource for unit study materials and lap books is Homeschool Share. 


Another place on the web that I have used for years is Currclick.  There is an amazing amount of free downloadable goodies for your homeschool.  

Well, I have scratched the surface on some of what I have found.  I will do another post of frugal finds later.  So, for now I want to know what your favorite resources are!
