Lapbooks: HandsofaChild.com always has a freebie up. If you sign up for KnoledgeBoxCentral.com newsletter, they give you a code for a free lapbook or one for half price!
Lastly, there's Currclick.com it has stuff that's free to super expensive. Email me [[email: [[email: [[email: (Email address can only be seen by the question and answer creators) I'll give you a link to my blog where I have a whole list of homeschooling sites.

Free homeschooling curriculums http://www.amblesideonline.org/ http://allinonehomeschool.wordpress.com/ http://oldfashionededucation.com/index.html
If you want American History, you can get an entire K-12 American History course at www.AmericanHeritage.org. gutenberg.org/ is a fantastic find! I go there at least once a week!
Scholastic.com usually has a great site with material for all subjects! If you would like to read some classics with your children or find some old book that has some great information

I loved homeschooling. There are Homeschool workshops you can attend to look at different kinds of curriculums, trade with other parents. You can meet and talk to other parents about curriculums and how they used certain ones, what they liked and disliked about it. They are a lot of fun. I have a friend homeschooling right now. I'll asked her what the one she goes to is called.

I am also looking into home school for my soon-to-be Kindergartner. I'm posting so that I too see the comments given.

K12 is owned by WalMart, but has national as well as International classes. I liked that they send you, gratis, a pc/all books needed by your child as well as you, (as their learning coach, as they have teachers you have total access to.) They have classes usually in the morning, for the core subjects. You also have access to after school clubs online, and many many field trips for things in your area. Your child can learn at their own pace, and they address Special Ed.
Have your IEP ready, they will have a meeting on phone with you at beginning of school year, once you sign up. Some of the stuff they send is heck of cheap, and you are expected to leave the schoolbooks pristine, so they can recycle them for next year, except for the ones you write in.
This is our last day of school, and I will tell you the learning curve up front can be daunting, but its well worth it. You get a real feel for what your kids are capable of, and talk about quality time! YOU will need adult time, probably more often....but not a price to pay. I think if I'd started my son years earlier, it would have been better for both of us, but who knew?
