More freebies at FreeHomeschoolTools Group
Last night and this morning I finally got on the group and did some major work. I have been meaning to do it for quite some time, but I just didn't get around to it. Yes, I am a world class procrastinator.
What finally led me to do it was that I couldn't find what I wanted in my many, many, many homeschooling related bookmarks. I knew it was there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I needed to reorganize them or something. So, I sat down and put a whole bunch of them on the group. That way I can still find them and don't have so many to sort through on my computer. Plus, they are more organized on the group.
To give you an idea of what is available, there are links to free curriculum, downloads, worksheets, units, record keeping forms, interactive educational websites and so much more. There is so much there. I have loaded 60 links so far and still have more to go through.
For those that don't know about the group, FreeHomeschoolTools is a group where members post offers for homeschooling items (curricula and more) for free. If one is in need of something they post their need there as well. Everything must be free (with the exception of postage). This group has saved so many so much money. I have seen items posted there that the person offering it had initially received it off the group from another member. That is nice to see. We have almost 800 wonderful, generous members and hope that you too, will join us.

If you would like to join us, just say that you read about us here. I think you will find the group to be a great blessing. I know that I have. And again, the members are some wonderful people.
Blessings,
Laurie

Free Homeschool Tools group
I just wanted to share this group with you. There used to be a group called FreecycleHomeschool that I was a member of. For some reason, it was closed. I was so blessed by other members of the group and I am sure many others were so I opened another group along the same premise.
This group is a place where people can come to post their wants/needs/offers and all items are free with the exception of postage (usually media mail rates). Now there are times when a member adds an additional fee to cover the cost of Paypal fees and sometimes for packaging materials as well. These additional fees should be kept to an absolute minimum. Also, the media mail rates are in the "Files" section of the group and I would suggest looking at those if you have any doubts about the cost of postage. One more thing, there is absolutely nothing wrong with negotiating the additional fees with the other party off-group.
Now, if you are still looking for that last got to have book for this school year, of if you need to get rid of some stuff to make room for this years stuff, come check our group out. We would love to have you.
