It’s amazing how much you can find online these days. Makes it hard to imagine what it was like to homeschool before the days of internet connections!
The world wide web has been a great source of information and inspiration for me…as I began to consider homeschooling, as I researched its methods, as I sought the “how tos” of homeschooling, and as I formally began to get our school accredited and official.
Here’s a semi-all-inclusive list of links, webpages, and online resources I’ve used and found incredibly helpful. Enjoy:
First Things First:
~ How to decide to homeschool
~ Check the homeschooling laws within your state
~ Homeschooling classrooms in photos….inspiration link-up via the Not Back-to-School Blog Hop at Life With My 3 Boybarians
~ Finding which homeschooling method is right for you and your family
Planning and Organizing:
~ DonnaYoung.org (plethora of printables)
~ The Well-Planned Day…the planner I’m using this year and love so far
~ Passport Academy also has a wonderful list of homeschooling printables
~ Categorize your books online with LibraryThing
Community:
~ The Homeschool Lounge is a wonderful meeting place with forums — folks respond to questions right away and are very helpful
~ Heart of the Matter Online’s forum is also a wonderful aid
Miscellaneous:
~ Heart of the Matter Online’s main site has a wealth of articles written by and for homeschooling moms
~ HomeschoolShare gives lots of free lapbooking ideas and resources
~ Stuff for Classroom Teachers (a staggering list of resources)
- Super Teacher Worksheets
~ Bible Memory Verse Card Maker
~ Highland Heritage Forms (forms, forms, and more forms)
I have tons more — believe me — but these are my top favs.
Tomorrow: A tour of our homeschool classroom and a glimpse at our weekly schedule.

Good list of links! Those are great sites. I never cease to be amazed at what’s online. It’s great! Yesterday, our internet went out for the day and I didn’t even know what to do for a few minutes because most of the things I do with homeschooling, I find online! We survived of course, but I had a running list of things I needed to look up by the time the internet was fixed. Could you even imagine being limited to books…and not even knowing how to get them or which ones were offered? ACK!
