Beginning Homeschool Curriculum
Before looking at prices for full-blown homeschool curriculum, see what interests your kids. Go to the childrenβs section at the library and see what theyβd like to read about. When I first started, I made the mistake of plunking down money (which I really couldnβt afford) for βcurriculumβ (that had been barely used).
Costco and Samβs Club have inexpensive books if you want a workbook. I get the Learn At Home book (at Samβs) and supplement it as we like (or I feel a need to). Some might call it a βspineβ β basically a starting off point.
Money is better spent on museums, zoos, aquariums (most offer homeschooler discounts or a discount where you get a pass for one place and receive similar discounts at other locations β see the discount page for info on the ASTC Passport Program β if your nearby locations are not listed, you can always call and ask too), etc and if they choose a favorite animal head back to the library and read about it, search for free craft projects on the net β https://www.enchantedlearning.com/ is a cool place to start.
