Homeschooling is hard work, but it can be so much fun! As homeschoolers, we get to choose every day what our kids will learn AND how they learn. So, as parents, we can find lots of ways to make learning fun! I have found many helpful resources along the way. I had to share with you some great sites for your homeschool.
If your like me, you have your standard curriculum you like to use but then you like to find other things to make learning fun and exciting. Here’s where these sites come in. They are great ways to add a little more to your homeschool day.
The list of sites for your homeschool includes ideas for preschool and beyond. Most of them have ideas great for, at least, up to the tween stage. Some will work with older kids, too. I’m working on fun sites for teens to share another time.
