A Second Generation of Homeschooling

May. 21, 2009

Cheap Online Homeschool Classes at Curclick! Includes classes in: Constitutional Law, Space, Battles of Independence!

CurrClick has a new line of online classes they are offering to all ages. We haven't taken any yet, but I am going to have the kids choose a few to take this summer. They are cheap and look promising! We are most interested in taking Constitutional Law, Space, Battles of Independence! I'll blog about them after we complete the courses. They look like so much fun, though! Can't wait for the kids to start! Click below and then on "Live Classes" on left hand side.

Enjoy!

We took the free Water Water Everywhere class by Craigs list the one who is doing space and it was very good.
