Free or Frugal Homeschool Friday

Here we are at Friday, again.  I have some more free or frugal links to share.  Some of these we have used in our homeschooling, some are new and I have not yet tried them.  You look and decide if you would like to try them. 

This is a brand new Math video for multiplication.  My daughter has been trying to get a grasp on the concept of repeated addition, or multiplication.  I am hoping this Youtube video will explain it to her in a way she will understand better.  https://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=c1EJYhWos1o

Tenmarks offers a Summer Math program for free.  I considered doing this, but I already have our Math planned for the Summer, so I opted to not do the Tenmarks.  Check it out if you are interested https://www.tenmarks.com/consumer/signup

Do you and your kids like to bake?  Then check out the Holiday Baking for homeschooling at free Homeschool deals http://www.freehomeschooldeals.com/holiday-baking-as-homeschool-curriculum/

Want something fun to do over the Summer?  How about a fun camp from home, it is free and fun.  We did this last year, and it looks even more awesome this year.  Early registration for Camp Wonderopalis is open now http://wonderopolis.org/camp-early-registration/


I collect tons of cool, usually free, links and resources to my Pinterest account.  Then each Friday, I share some here on my blog.  Be sure to check back each Friday to see new ones.

Now My Summer Vacation Can Really Begin!

Our homeschool evaluations are done!  Both kids did awesome, and are above grade level this year.  This is not something I am particularly concerned with, but family, friends and other curious people always ask.  So, I always ask.  If they are at grade level I am always happy and satisfied.  Above grade level is just an extra pat on the back for all of us. 

DJ went to his first birthday party sleep over, Friday night.  All went well and I am relieved.  I trust the family, but it is always hard when your child has only slept in their own house, or with their parents in another room if somewhere away from home.  Now I can consider camp sometime for him.  Not sure if it will be soon, because we know want to save money to go back to NY and visit for at least a week, maybe two, Fall of next year probably.  This is an expensive trip for us, and will take great budgeting and saving, and coordination for our dogs and rabbit.

But, now I can officially begin my Summer Vacation.  That means I get to sit by the pool everyday, do cleaning and organizing, that gets ignored during the school year.  And of course put the final touches on lessons, and plans for the new school year, after Labor Day.  Yay sunshine and warmth here I come!
