online curriculum – Pollywog's Place Blog

I just wanted to pop in and tell you all about this wonderful site that I’ve recently found… I don’t know how I haven’t discovered them before… maybe I have and just forgot? Who knows anymore?

I do know that they can make homeschooling much easier and it’s completely free… all you need is internet access so you can get to the lessons. Navigation on the site is fairly simple and they have everything listed for grades K-5.

I’ve been leaning more towards the Charlotte Mason style teaching as you can read about HERE so this has been quite a blessing to help me supplement a few areas that I had trouble deciding on what to do. I also love that they use our beloved McGuffey Readers and Ray’s Arithmetic books. The site is child-friendly and ad-free as well so I haven’t had any concerns about what the kids might accidentally see on the pages.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in then you can check them out here.

A few days ago I posted about why I (temporarily) quit homeschooling my kiddos. Things have been more than a little crazy here and we are still working on getting the house, and our lives, back in order. Progress has been slow but steady and I look forward to getting back into the whole ‘school routine’ shortly.

2025-2026 Homeschool Curriculum: Montessori Integration

One of the many programs that we use in our school routine, and almost every day in between, is ABC Mouse. I’m sure that you’ve seen numerous commercials on TV about the program and while I once thought that this was only something that ‘rich’ people could afford I was wrong.

The price is actually quite affordable and often times you can find special deals like the one you can get when you click this referral link below. They also send out deals via email for previous/current customers.

Benefits Are Priceless

I couldn’t see the benefits that the program had to offer because I was looking for something FREE. Yes, there are plenty of FREE programs but nothing quite compares to ABC Mouse and my kids love it. My special needs children need a lot of extra attention and sometimes they just ‘don’t get it’ when I try to explain things. When they use ABC Mouse it helps to fill in those gaps of misunderstandings and often they bring me their tablets to show me something that they’ve mastered and the look on their face is PRICELESS.
