Fortunately, I've been able to find ways around that. When I first started I used a couple of workbooks I bought for about $10 each (phonics and math) and made up the rest using library books and worksheets I typed up myself. It was a lot of work! Now we are enrolled in a public school-homeschool partnership program that gives us a student fund of $1200 a year per student to use towards curriculum, supplies, field trips, and classes. About $120 of that will go to curriculum next year and the rest will pay for most of our classes, field trips, and supplies. When we run out of student fund, I have to pick up the rest so I'll be saving for it throughout the year.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843337250225596454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004296142783931577.post-42896232111972747882008-01-11T08:35:00.000-08:002008-01-11T08:35:00.000-08:00I always wanted to homeschool my daughter but coul...I always wanted to homeschool my daughter but couldn't afford to.
