Fresh Paint

Posted on July 19, 2007 by

I mentioned yesterday that we were going to clean our classroom. After getting started, I decided it would be easier to clean if we removed everything from the room.

I came to the conclusion that paint was just what it needed. So we finished removing the bulletin … Continue reading →

Our Homeschool Budget

Posted on July 13, 2007 by

I wanted to share some of the things we have done to keep our homeschooling budget to a minimum.  The first year we homeschooled, I went nuts.  I had grand visions of what I wanted to teach and bought all kinds of books and workbooks and kits and whatever else you can think of.  But then the reality of time kicked in and I realized there was no way in the world we were ever … Continue reading →
