Use your state’s FREE (or almost free) educational resources to supplement your lessons
Today we took a quick road trip to our Learning Resource Center. Jersey has the LRC, a teacher’s lending library housing all kinds of great teaching supplements. The cost is $2.00 for the year! We checked out several math manipulatives and games. Our library has lots of kits, books, etc for just about any core subject. Just another way to keep your daily studies more interesting for your student.
For those in Jersey, check out this site:

For other states, I’d check with your Department of Education website to see what they offer.
Comparing homeschooling environment to top prep school environment
A blurb from Forbes magazine on top U.S. prep schools…
“small classes and individualized attention gives prep school kids a unique self-confidence and ease in their exchanges with authority figures. That translates to higher wages post-college, compared with their peers. “Prep schools teach students something, or better, provides them with resources, that others do not learn or have,” he says.”
The underlined words caught my attention. Isn’t that what the homeschooling environment provides, individualized attention and the smallest class size possible? And homeschoolers are known for being able to carry on conversations well with adult figures. Love it!
