The value of worksheets...

As we begin on this homeschooling adventure, I've come to realize the value of worksheets.  Homeschooling, at least to me, is not all about worksheets and 100% organized work.  There are homeschooling opportunities all throughout the day, every where that you go.  However, they do serve a purpose.

We are homeschooling on a budget - As such, I have spent a lot of time searching through the internet, on the hunt for free items to help with this journey.  It is amazing how many free worksheets and ideas there are out there!

My daughter has loved the worksheets!  I have found so many different types - I printed a large amount, and then have tucked the majority away until we work on that specific subject.  Such as, I found a lot of dinosaur ones.  This coming week is our dinosaur week!  I also found a lot of marine based ones - Our marine life unit will be coming up, and I will pull those ones out as needed.

These worksheets are also helpful if I need a few minutes to get something done, and she can have something educational to do.

I think if my daughter had it her way, we would spend 90% of the time working on them!

Here are a few pictures of what she has been working on:
