Homeschool Freebie of the Day or Week

If you enjoy unit studies, notebooking, sample chapters, ebook how-to guides, and more, you may want to bookmark the following websites:

CurrClick: Curriculum in a Click

Formerly Homeschool eStore, CurrClick offers a wide variety of homeschooling resources at reasonable prices --- including their popular Free Download of the Week. This week's special is a 90-page guide to Charlotte-Mason-style nature study: LBC Nature Journal. I have been a CurrClick fan for ages, and every product I've tried has been full of value.

Living Books for the Ears

Chickenfoot loves listening to these weekly mp3 downloads of old-time radio shows. The current download is one of his favorites: Big Jon & Sparky. Past shows have included highlights from history, literature dramatizations, and classic radio comedy --- always a treat!

Homeschool Freebie of the Day

A brand-new website from the Erskine family --- the homeschool radio shows people. This time they are giving away a free ebook or other download every day (M-F), for one day only. Yesterday, I got a 13-page pdf of activity ideas for rainy-day play, which included a classic recipe for bread-and-glue clay. Past resources have included a guide to homeschooling, how to get financial aid for college, and an audio speed-reading course. Go check out today's offering.

Watch those copyrights!

As always, be sure to respect the copyright on any homeschooling product --- "free" does NOT mean "free for all." You can download these resources for your own use, but please do not copy them to pass around to your friends. If you like a website, by all means encourage your friends to try it out, but do not take advantage of the curriculum publisher's generosity by violating their rights.
