Discounts

Teachers get discounts at a number of businesses. Some are also available to homeschoolers. This is one of the reasons to order an ID card. Of course, you would have to ask at your location to see if they participate but it can't hurt to ask. Save on food, books, crafts, and other supplies. At places like Pizza Hut, Barnes & Noble, and Joann Fabrics. Programs such as book it and read to succeed are open to homeschoolers as well. Happy saving!

An idea of a homeschool day

After breakfast, we start health and act out healthy ways of handling stress. Next, we move onto science with a virtual tour of a dairy farm and learn the differences between free stall vs tie stall and pasture vs feed lot. Then we begin history and discuss events during the civil rights movement such as the little rock nine. Along with activists from that time period like James Farmer co-founder of CORE and involved with NAACP. (People, events, and organizations I never heard of) After our lunch break, we dive into music by exploring the woodwind instrument family. By now it is time for ELA where X uses the dictionary to put his spelling list into alphabetical order and finds the definitions. Finishing with math making homemade detergent. Figuring out the unit price, measurements and how long it should last.

Secular curriculum

There are different styles of homeschooling. Unit studies, relaxed, unschooling, eclectic and of course secular. I'm going to list some sites I've come across for the core subjects. (Science, history, ELA and math)

Science: time4learning.com or discoveryk12.com (FREE)

History: khanacademy.org (FREE We've used for math but didn't work for us), discoveryk12.com or time4learning.com

ELA: freereadingprogram.com (FREE K-6 it does glitch sometimes), discoveryk12.com, time4learning.com or allaboutlearningpress.com (haven't used myself)

Math: discoveryk12.com, xtramath.org (FREE it times them for mastery), mobymax.com (FREE), khanacademy.org, prodigygame.com (FREE), time4learning.com

You could always make your own. Don't forget the library, documentaries, Netflix, amazon prime, Hulu even youtube.
