Here is 3 websites you might like to check into if your Homeschooling your children. But once again you don’t have to be homeschooling to use the resources as they work for refresher courses. Or in places of Tutoring.

Keep Creating “Aha!” Moments Together

See how learning can still be effective and meaningful, no matter where it’s taking place.

When Homeschooling one thing we can never have enough of is books. Books to read, workbooks to work in. Books we create ourselves and even books to give as Gifts.

My two favorite places to get books for Charlie’s classroom is Amazon and Half Price Books but don’t forget your local Library. Or you can find sites online that have books our children can read including YouTube which will read to them.
