Life. On a Budget.

Have you heard the one about the homeschooling family that lives on less than $22K a year in an area that costs above 100% (116%) of the National CoL Index?

I haven't quite figured out why so many people still persist in perpetuating the myth that living on a single income and homeschooling on a dime aren't possible. I can only suppose these are people who can't imagine life without a daily trip to Starbucks and dinner out several times a week. The people who actually shop at malls (*shudder*) and think "Brand Name = Best". The people who really live by the "Keeping up with the Joneses" mentality.

That? Would not be us!

Welcome to our world. We cook from scratch. Buy from thrift stores. Find 95% of our homeschool materials for free. This is my blog and this is how we do it.

Just Me, Jenni said...: Yep. :) Actually, some of these links (The ones just called STUDY GUIDE) go to that site. The others are to the Penguin site, which also has free guides. I found these two sites only a few months ago and love them!; July 10, 2007 at 10:25 PM

Just Me, Jenni said...: LOL! You are NOT a goober! There's nothing wrong at all with "doubling up" on the info here - you just gave your own endorsement. :); July 11, 2007 at 10:14 AM

The lesson plans listed here are currently being used by a 5th and 7th grader together, and therefore could also work for younger or older students, depending on maturity and ability.

Plans will be continually posted as they are completed.

Please, note: Due to the vagaries of the internet, links and pages often "disappear" as site owners move on or shut down. If you intend to follow any of these plans, I HIGHLY recommend you download and save as many of the sources as you can, to ensure you will have them throughout the entire year.

Create your own handwriting pages for the optional copywork:
