Homeschool Resources Under $30 from Educents

We are very blessed, here in BC, to have homeschool funding. I receive a certain amount each year from the government for each child enrolled in Kindergarten through Grade 12. It covers our homeschool resources and some of the girls’ extracurricular activities every year.

Each state and province differs in their homeschool regulations and funding, however. While Alberta offered homeschool funding when I was a homeschool student, that funding was removed recently (and reinstated). Thus, while I’m thankful for our funding, I try to use it carefully—and to be aware of good deals on homeschool resources for the girls.

That’s why I really like the sales at Educents. They have a ton of great resources that you can pick up for your kids for under $30. Whether you have funding or not, you won’t want to miss these deals!
