Do find yourself suddenly a homeschooling parent?! I’m sure you have many questions or maybe even some anxiety about taking on the job of teaching your kiddos.
Do not panic or worry. You don’t have to give them their diploma or PhD. You just need to keep their minds active and engaged!
Stay positive and this can be a fun learning opportunity for you too, moms! I find that, as a homeschooling mom, I am learning and relearning new things along with my kiddos.
Since you are in control of learning, why not have fun with it!

Resources To Supplement Learning
There are so many online resourse at our disposal. I am going to share a list of some of my favorite online and physical learning resources with you.
All the resources I’m sharing are things I have used or am using currently as a veteran homeschooling mom of 8 years.
Online Resources
Teachers Pay Teachers– Find worksheets to supplement learning at home. Search by grade and subject.
ABCmouse.com– This is an online curriculum for ages 2-8 years. My 6 year old uses this daily as supplemental learning. It can be used on a tablet, iPad or computer.
Starfall– Online learning for PreK -3rd grade. This site is great for reinforcing what kids are learning in the classroom. Kids can play games in math, phonics, and some language arts.
Learn At Home – Scholastic is offering 20 days worth of free learning through this online service.
Art
Art For Kids Hub– Free online art lessons Monday thru Fridays. My kids love learning how to draw cartoon characters using Ray’s videos. He shares many free videos via YouTube but also has a monthly subscription option on his website.
Annie’s Creative Girls Club– I found this idea from Money Saving Mom. She has a special link to get your first craft box for 80% off! The link takes you to her site where you can get the special deal.
My daughter just received hers in the mail on Saturday so she is looking forward to making her crafts this week!
Masterpiece Society– Alisha teaches your kids about the great artist and shows them how to use different mediums and art techniques. She has a free online lesson available to try or you can choose to subscribe to her online membership.
Yellow Spot Sun– Free and paid online art lessons. Look for the Weekly Drawing Challenges for free lessons. Fun art for kids and parents!
Math
Khan Academy– Free online math lessons for ages 4-18 years old. “What is Khan Academy? We offer exercises, quizzes, and tests so students can practice and master skills, as well as instructional videos to help students learn or review material.”
Teaching Textbooks– This is a full online math curriculum. My 12 year old and 10 year old use it this year for school. They offer a free trial you could use to continue math at home. Have your child take the placement test to decide the best math level for your free trial.
Math Antics– Helpful videos to teach math concepts for 3rd – 8th grade. Search for videos by topic. There is also a page with free worksheets. I like to use these videos to reinforce what my kids learn in math.
