Homeschool curriculums can sometimes get a little pricey, but thankfully there are many free curriculums and resources available online. To assist you in your homeschool journey, I have compiled a list of free resources.
Many of these free resources make a solid stand-alone curriculum, and some can be used to supplement something you already own. Whatever you choose, remember that you are the teacher. You do not have to complete everything, and you can modify assignments as you see fit.
