Tightwad Tuesday

It's Tightwad Tuesday and I have a tip. If you'd like to give a tip or check out other great tips, please go see Mary over @ Canadagirl and join in!!!

My tip this week is for free curriculum. WHOO HOO!! Who doesn't like free?!! Yes, it's free. You just need a computer!!!

We are doing the 50 states this year with our co-op. When discussing what curriculum we wanted to use, one of the mom's remembered she had attempted to do '50 states' with her son last year. She found the site Our 50 Great States which, after signing up to receive their e-mails, will send you two states every week. The e-mail comes complete with links for printables, fun things to create in the kitchen from that state and a printable quiz!!! We did the first lesson in class last week and there was so much info I didn't have time to share it all. And the best part... It's all free!!!

I know this may not help some of my readers who are not from the US, but I did a quick search @ About.com and found some things for our Northern neighbors, Canada!! Give it a try. What've ya got to lose?

Enjoy!!

Robyn, that is a great tip! I plan to use it in the future on my Monday meme, which is dedicated to homeschooling. Thanks for the great idea!

Oh, I just love free! And free homeschool ideas are always more than welcome! Thanks so much for sharing this - I will have to bookmark this page for future use.

And hello... takes a lot of the work out of the co-op for you, too, doesn't it? That makes it worth way more than you paid for it!!! LOL

Have a great afternoon, my friend!
love,
Shani
