I was speaking to...Thanks, Sarah, for the advice. <br />I was speaking to my friend, Mandi, who is a veteran homeschooler just last night about the cost. She did remind me that the costs for sending our kids to public school may end up quite expensive, too. For that, you must factor-in the cost of uniforms, shoes, petrol/diesel to drive them to school (unless it's in walking distance), costs for field trips that you did not pick, and lots of other supplies (which multiple kids can't share if they're in public school). <br />She is very frugal and has found some real deals. She did, for example, buy two years' worth of curricula that is four years ahead of where her daughter is now, used and at a garage sale, for $200 together. She doesn't usually buy that far ahead, but when she sees the deal, she takes it.<br /><br />Beth FisherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-32918385454616543292011-03-19T18:30:33.747+00:002011-03-19T18:30:33.747+00:00Love the ideal of home made Montessori materials. ...Love the ideal of home made Montessori materials.

We use a printable maths curriculum at the moment which is cheap and could obviously be used again. Still I'm aware that some curriculums might not work so well for another child, just because they worked with a first child.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160335196868762338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-53069022240788233452011-03-19T00:03:14.290+00:002011-03-19T00:03:14.290+00:00Thanks for the tips!

We want to do Montessori maths with Aaron but the materials are very expensive, so I'm hoping to make my own for 1/5th of the price!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1272887249587912361.post-61829472921401595642011-03-18T22:40:34.244+00:002011-03-18T22:40:34.244+00:00Good tips:)
