Day 29: Hidden Homeschool Treasures
Day 30: Looking Back to Stretch Forward
Day 31: Ready Set Go!
It can take a long time when you are new to homeschooling to find unique things that are free. I don’t think spending a lot of money always equals an excellent education. Also, there are just some really talented parents in the homeschool community who share their work freely to benefit others.
