Welcome to another edition of homeschooling resource of the day. As always, if you see something you want changed, you have something you would like added, or know of something that should be featured please feel free to leave me a comment.
Today’s website is i4c: Internet 4 Classrooms. Internet 4 Classrooms is a very resourceful site. It has tons of links for grade k-8 for each subject. Some of the links include books that are read to the child and when their reading level is high enough they can read them for themselves; games to practice different skills such as multiples of tens, or perfect squares; earth, physical and life sciences and so much more. This is a very good site to go to when you are looking for a little extra something for your studies, or to base a curriculum on.
Word of the day: celerity \suh-LAIR-uh-tee\, noun:
Rapidity of motion or action; quickness; swiftness.
Today’s homeschooling book of the day is Homeschool Your Child for Free. This is one of my favorite books. It has over a thousand resources for homeschooling your children for free. Finances for a homeschooling family can be tight sometimes, as a lot of the time only one parent works. It’s no different for a single parent homeschooling. In any case, no matter your financial circumstances, it never hurts to save some money where you can.
