If you ever find yourself homeschooling for one reason or another, you may also be looking for resources and tools to help you

Maybe you have found yourself homeschooling by accident. Maybe public school bullying, learning disabilities, other public school difficulties, or even the coronavirus has landed you smack in the center of homeschooling and you don’t know where to look for good (and free) resources to get you started.
Maybe you are just looking for resources to make sure your child who is only missing part of the school year won’t fall behind.
No matter your situation, there are still great free resources for homeschooling out there.
Free homeschool curriculum
- The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts (PDF format levels 1-5 are the only free downloads, but there are other levels available for a cheap price)
this is in a download printable format but it is the FULL curriculum. I use these every year and eitherprint them off andtake them to a staples or other office supply store to bind or print off lesson by lesson, 3-hole punch it and keep it in a binder. - Khan Academy This is one A-M-A-Z-I-N-G resource. We use khan academy as a full-time math curriculum for my oldest (who is currently in 7th grade). They also have free science, engineering, computer science, arts & history, as well as economics and finance.
- The Good and the Beautiful Marine Biology Science. Again the PDF version of this full curriculum is free.
