My Favorite Websites For Home-schooling

Updated: May 6, 2019

Here are some of my go to websites that I use daily in our school day. It is where I get my worksheets or channels that I use for lessons.

As a homeschooling mom I spend most of my time looking for worksheets, lessons and educational tools for free or as cheap as possible, because trust me when I say the cost can soon add up - and fast. Following are some of my go to websites I use and my child loves. I have marked the ones we use right now every day. The programs I use I get for free with our Charter, so maybe check with your Charter if they are also available to you. Keep in mind I have a 6th Grader right now, hence why a lot of the programs are aimed for older kids.
