We also use the public library to supplement what we are learning.<br /><br />Last year, we read all the Caldecott award winners, and began working on the Newberry award winners. This exposes my daughters to a wide range of literature written from the early 20th century to present day.<br /><br />We do a lot of volunteering and service projects. This year we are focusing on a nursing home near us and volunteer 4x a month (about once a week). We have done cat therapy, painting, presentations about farming and China (where my daughters are adopted from), baking, and playing instruments. Lots of opportunities to work on public speaking and communication skills!<br /><br />4-H is also a wonderful resource that requires a very minimal financial commitment to cover club and county dues. There are so many learning and leadership opportunities - many of them free - that are available to youth.

It's a great way to get books that I couldn't afford otherwise. :)<br /><br />annette @ A net in time<br />http://anetintimeschooling.weebly.com/a-net-in-time-blog.htmlAnnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731853888897956775noreply@blogger.com
