Here's an example of how homeschooling doesn't have to be expensive. Three days ago we went on a nature walk and collected 149 acorns. How do I know it was 149? We counted them!
First we divided them into three piles: acorns with caps, caps, and "bald" acorns. We then counted each pile and added them together. Then we subtracted the caps and "baldies" from the acorns with caps to see if we were correct. Cha-ching! Free math lesson!
Yesterday I put little pieces of paper with numbers on them in the bottom portion of an egg carton. C. had to put the correct number of acorns in each one. Then I switched the papers and she had to change the original number to the new number, either adding or subtracting the correct number of acorns. Each time we wrote out the equation on a piece of paper. Free math lesson #2! Thank you Mother Nature!

Welcome to homeschooling and to blogging. Both you and Yonit have inspired me to re-start my own blogging.
