i would love to use this prize for the next year of school curriculum….so many new things i would love to try out….Mystery of HIstory, Apologia…..
thanks for this great opportunity!
Thank you for the chance to win! I would use the money to buy books, art supplies, pay for field trips…anything to enhance our homeschooling experience! :-)
I would use the money for supplies of course! who couldn’t use more supplies and books! Thank you!
I would use the money to buy more books.
Still haven’t ordered all my books yet. This would be very handy for that! Thanks for the opportunity!
I certainly could use this. I’ve never heard of some of those who teamed up for this. I’ll be visiting them, though. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!
I would buy curriculum that I am dreaming about for my kids, especially my son: Engineering is Elementary from the Museum of Science in Boston (http://eiestore.com/storybooks.html). It introduces different aspects of engineering to Elementary aged kids. I have spent a lot on other core subjects, so this will be on the back burner otherwise. Thank you for the chance to win!
This is our first year homeschooling so I would use it to get a new homeschool sdesk and some items i’d love to have like a globe and a big calendar (not to mention some new art supplies!)
Definitely buy some extra curriculum/supplies…those things that I can never afford like montessori stuff, nice paper cutter, etc.
I would buy new wall maps, art supplies, more books for our library… Really the list of what I would buy is too long to write out :D
Wow!! What a fantastic giveaway!! Will be visiting all these sites. Thank you for the chance to win!!
Books, books, and more books! Plus a few manipulatives and things that have been on my wishlist for awhile. Thanks for the chance to win!
Math manipulatives, puzzles and the remainder of the curriculum I need for the year…. Thanks!
Books of course… and a few painting supplies as well. My little girl loves to paint and goes through a lot!
Wow – this is a FANTASTIC giveaway! I would use it to buy a few more pieces of curriculum, those homeschool “extras” (books, supplies, etc.) and maybe I would feel as if I should use some towards Christmas instead of just fun homeschool stuff…nah!
Would love to purchase some new organization supplies … shelves, bins, etc. I need a bit more order in my home! :)
I would donate the money for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis for my son Joey,diagnosed when he was only 8 years old.He is 15 now and homeschooling for the past three years due to his illness…If a cure comes,I would still homeschool! In fact,I am starting to homeschool my other son Jacob,12 years old,entering 7th grade.Homeschooling has been the BEST decision I have ever made and would not have it any other way!!!!
That is a FABULOUS idea, Carole!! :)
Thank you! :-)
It seems my supply list keeps growing, so this would be awesome to win. Thanks

I would buy bookshelves and Kindles for my two teens.
I need help with school supplies.
I would buy as much wonderful school-ish things as $500 could get me! Definitely and interactive globe and AAS Level 1 though…
…danielle
What a gift winning would be! I would purchase books, supplies, some of the fun activities kits I never purchase because of money going to curriculum. I would also the money for field trips and more!!
September hails the first full year of us homeschooling. We’re in the UK and I’d use the money to purchase Christian homeschooling materials from the US as the stuff we can get from here is few and far between.
I would use it as homeschool budget money–field trips, supplies, etc. Or I could pay some bills?? :)
We would buy as many educational items as we could. Things like alphabet beads, counters, art supplies, etc. Maybe even curriculum for when he is older…
I would stock up on paper and ink (always need that!) and some organizers for crayons, pencils, etc. I would also invest in another industrial strength pencil sharpener…one of my kiddos decided to try and sharpen crayons in the one we had, and, well, now we need another one!!
I certainly could use it (who couldn’t?). As a single mom, this would be quite the prize to receive! I would use it for supplies and field trips to numerous places within our state!
I lead a group of homeschoolers and it would be fun to buy items that I know some of them need and help them out.
I would use it for school.
I would buy books for the kids! Plus some education toys to add to preschool!
I would use the money to buy lots and lots of books!
This is my first year homeschooling and expenses seem to be adding up:)! My husband is in ministry, and we really try to live within our resources and not above. That being said we have a small budget for homeschooling this year, and he’s been gracious to me in allowing me to go beyond that already! I still need to purchase All About Reading Level 1 and Interactive Kit, as well as Apologia Science and Mystery of History at beginner levels. I am also hoping to get a great map for our “School room”. I would LOVE to win this money and be able to buy more school resources as well as simple school supplies! thank you!!!:)
I’d probably buy a ton of books for homeschooling and art supplies that I don’t usually splurge on as well. I’m sure I’d find some books for myself, too! :)
I’m excited to begin tot school with my two year old. My list of “hope to get”s is LONG :)
What an awesome giveaway!! I would love to have this extra money for our school projects throughout the year!
Books, books and books!!!!!!!!!! What an awesome giveaway!!!

thanks for the chance!!

What a BLESSING this would be. We have not yet purchased curriculum for next year…our budget has been TIGHT! The money would be used, 100% for the upcoming year homeschool supplies for my 2nd grader, Kindergartener, and pre-schooler. Math (rightstart math), homeschool art (from the 1+1+1=1 posts), supplies for sensory boxes, montessori print shop, reading and read alouds that are not available at our library, discount school supply and materials for the Mystery of History. The $ would provide a tremendous relief to our cash strapped home!
We just redecorated and reorganized the schoolroom. I should probably use the $500 to pay for what I already spent!
I would use this to buy my son a Spanish learning program like Rosetta Stone, purchase curriculum books to start homeschooling, purchase a day of fun at the museum and aquarium. I would also save a good chunk of it to place in his college fund
I would purchase hands on activities for my 5, 3, and 1 year old along with many items to donate to the co-op I run.
I would so buy the new curricuum I need this fall!
I’m just getting started homeschooling and I love that you do these types of giveaways! I especially like that you link up to the other blogs and sites so that I have more exploring I can do. As homeschooling parents know, looking at the big picture seems a bit overwhelming…but I am trying to take it a day at a time. I would use the money for some rolling cart drawers to use for my work-box system. Not only would the earnings bless me for this year, but the things I would purchase would probably be used throughout our entire journey! Thank you for your help with information and your generousity.

$500 would go towards new hearing aids for our seven year old. That is our next big expense we have planned.
I would love to get some goodies for our homeschool! We are just beginning this journey with my Kindergartner and I have another child who will start in a year or so. So, I’ve been trying to build up some resources. This sure would help!
I’d use it for school supplies- and maybe get some early Christmas shopping done!
This is awesome! I’m so behind in school curriculum….like I have none….for next year I would buy school stuff definitely.
I would definitely use it to buy things for our homeschool. Anything extra would go toward paying for a new transmission.:)
Would love to win. Thanks for the chance. I would use it for my first grade daughter curriculum.
I’d hit those back to school sales!
This is my first year to homeschool so I have a ton of stuff that I could add to our home!! We have big dreams of an art center and deluxe calendar area and some other items to enhance our curriculum!
If I win I would use the money to buy all of the resources for school that I still need to buy!
I would use the money to finish buying a few pieces of curriculum yet, some science readers, art supplies and a table for the school room.
Books! Lots and lots of books!
I would use it for last minute school supplies, maybe AAS and AAR or something similar, maybe something for math that my son will actually do.
This is only our second year homeschooling, we survived the first year with just the basics and limited funding. We would use the money to create a ‘school’ within our home to make it much easier to teach and learn. We have many years ahead of us (with a 6-5-4 year olds), so it would be very helpful!!! Thank you.
I would use it toward a new child sized table. The big desk is too big and the coffee table has become too short!
I would buy extra art and science supplies!
I think if I won this much money I would buy all the school items that are on my wish list but never make it to the need list:)
This would be a tremendous blessing for our family as it would help me to redo our homeschool room (to actually have a specific place) and have everything my children would actually need to be comfortable while they are learning. I would use the winnings to purchase tables, desks, supplies etc.
I would use the $500 to book school supplies and to make small repairs around the house. I would also use some of it for hubby and I to go out to eat for our 14th anniversary next week!

We really need a scale for our science program. I would put some towards that and the remainder would go in our savings account to help us purchase our home this year.
I would use it to pay a hospital bill and for prescriptions for my son. We have already gone over the medical flex account $5000 limit for the year it’s all ready gone, so everything comes out of my husbands paycheck. We homeschool so we are a one income family. We also would really like to buy new books for all three boys but it’s going to be tight so we are making do with what we have. Our middle son was born with a congenital heart defect and had open heart sugery when he was six. We are still recovering from that, and praising God that he is here with us. Congenital heart defects effect 1 in 100 children born we would also make a donatation to Palmetto Hearts Here in the Upstate Carolinas to help raise awarness and help other families like ours. Please our family could really use the help right now. It would be a huge answer to prayer.
First year homeschooling so the list is never ending…this would be a huge blessing!

I would buy LOTS of educational toys, books, and supplies for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She is bored with what we have and is starting to act out in boredom. I’ve tried rotating toys and things, but she needs more stimulating and challenging things to keep her little hands and mind busy and growing! I might buy some preschool curriculum just so that I can get ahead of the game. She is already asking me to teach her to write her name and is very eager to read on her own!
It is a generous offer and it would cover our first curriculum and some book. Good luck everyone!
I would spend my winnings on getting my preschooler all set up for homeschooling. I would buy learning toys, art supplies, and organizational materials.

It’s more like what I couldn’t do with that amount of cash to go towards our homeschooling! There are so many things that I see you guys use that I can’t afford, but would love to have. So of course I’d get some of those items. And then maybe a nice map, a nice chair for my desk, and lots of books!!
This would help kick star my home preschool
I would buy homeschool curriculum! Thanks for the giveaway.
Nicole
If I won the $500 I’d put part of it toward the carseat my son needs for his daddy’s car and then some winter clothes for him since he will soon have no pants that fit.
it would be hard to spend the $500, I would start with my school room, I am gradually adding to it, but it would be great to get a few more furniture items. I would also invest in some good books, my family will be moving out of the country soon and I would like to bring a good library with us.
I would probably use some of it on school supplies..we’re starting our 1st yr homeschooling this year…and some on some fun things for our deck and pool. Since we’ll be home more, we’ll be able to enjoy it longer this year!

I am just starting homeschooling this year and could really use this prize! :) I need to figure out what I am doing still – so I am pretty sure I will hit panic mode come August. I haven’t had time to sit down and figure curriculum out yet b/c I directed VBS this summer for the first time. I’m excited to homeschool my kindergartener and as a former elementary teacher, I am {nervous} looking forward to being back in the {very different} saddle. Would love a great reading curriculum like All About Reading!
I would use the money to help a local family whose son was just diagnosed with leukemia and maybe some would go for school clothes for my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity!
Id use this to buy some supplies to teach my kids at home. I’m always creating some educational materials for them
books, books, and more books. i think i might have an addiction. :) usually i buy for the kids, but there are a few on my wishlist for myself actually.
We would like to invest in the homeschool version of Rosetta Stone Spanish, and this would just cover the cost!
I would use it to get some organization supplies for our school supplies and save some to use for field trips!
I would buy our workbooks for the coming school year and a generator since last year the power went out a few times during the winter.
I think i would probably buy more curriculum than I really need… but I can’t help myself. I’m new to this! I am the original amazon mom so I will use every bit of it on the site… although Target’s $1 aisle is pretty enticing especially for my cc tutoring that I am embarking on…
Oh My – what a fabulous giveaway!! We are moving in a few weeks and there are all sorts of things that I think we’ll need for the kids in the new house…new bedding, furniture, home decor, the list goes on and on!!

Wow. What to choose?! I could probably find $500 worth of books I would love to have.

I would use it to set up my home school room! After a couple of years in the public school we are pulling our boys out and keeping them home!
I would love to use it to buy curriculum and tools for teaching! We have NO budget for those things since coming home from our vacation to an unplugged upright freezer!! :( We have to recover from the massive grocery loss and won’t be able to find the money for anything school related any time soon.
My husband has been without steady work for a few years, so there is so much. :) Probably a laptop for my 16 yr old for school, math curriculum, books and art supplies, or a camera.
Thank you for this chance!
I would spend some of it on a shelf to help keep our area organized, fun art-teaching books, music/piano lessons, or possibly some kind of iPad or small laptop for schooltime learning.
I would pick up our next Math U See set!
I would be able to get the next All about reading and all about spelling sets, not to mention sign up for some music and gymnastics classes that are out of my price range at the moment.
Things are tight until the hubby starts new job in October so this money would most likely be spent on good ol’ bills.
books and supplies for school
I’d start by buying all of our necessities: diapers, household supplies, etc. With any left over, I’d love to use the $$ for Christmas gifts! Things are TIGHT around here, so any extra cash would be awesome!
I’d love to buy school supplies and organization stuff for my homeschool.
I would spend some of it on organization shelving. Piano books, craft supplies, learning books. Thank you!
I would love to win! I would spend it on redecorating my kids rooms! Books for my kids and extra cloth diapers for the little one.
I’d love to spend some of it on things to organize a dedicated homeschool corner. I’d also probably use some of it for things for our new home. I’d like to figure out away to bless someone else with some too.
School Supplies!!! Updating our Classroom :)
This would help SO much as we embark on our first journey in homeschooling. Thank you!
We’re starting to homeschool this year, so I would use the money on organization stations (like a table with drawers to put school supplies in a center column that will fold down in order to fit into our tiny, 2 room townhouse) and school supplies (aka curriculum and paper).
This is our first year homeschooling and I sure could use the money to get my curriculum and supplies started. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time. I just try focus on what God has called me to do and rely on him.
Organizing and some curriculum, pencils and paper , erasers and markers, just to name a few. The list goes on and on.
Buy a ticket to the Beech Retreat!
This week, I would take my family to Disney, since we are in Orlando. If it were next week, it would have to go to my classroom, LOL.
I have two kids in college and one still in homeschool. My older daughter’s college bill is due on August first and we’re praying for miracles………….
I would use it for all the school supplies that we need… like paint, construction paper, pencils…all the classics :-)
I would love to buy art and school supplies and some books!
I would use it for curriculum!
I would use it toward our pending adoption. It has been so cool to see the way God called us down this road and has so amazingly provided along the way!
Wow!! Being new to homeschooling. I am just getting started with shopping for the year. I would use the money towards curriculum and art and craft supplies. With two little ones we for sure need lots of glue and sparkles.
I would use it for curriculum!
I would the money towards clothing for the boys, needed curricuclum and some organizational supplies for our homeschool.
Buy some curriculum and a school desk/chair for my daughter.
I would probably use most of it in books. I have most of our core curriculum but books are something I always want and need more of. I would probably also buy more educational resources for my toddler to help keep her busy while we do school.
Curriculum for next year – of course- making my list now. :-)
I would use it for an mini beach vacation before fall.
I would buy my curriculum. I can’t believe how expensive it gets for three kids. Thanks for the opportunity!
I support a missionary family in Kigoma, Tanzania. They are building a trade school there. I would send the winnings for this project.
I would probably like most have said here buy Curriculum and items for better homeschooling. We are a one-income family and of course there are always expenses when you homeschool.
winnings would go to the Kelly’s ministering in Kigoma, Tanzania toward the building of the trade school
Wow! This is one amazing giveaway. If I win there is going to be some serious after-baby clothing shopping. Woohoo!
Amazing giveaway! If I won, I would spend it on all the extra learning activities and toys that I can’t usually afford after buying the main curriculum. My son would be so excited!
I am new to homeschooling, so I have A LOT of things I could do with this giveaway $$!! Books would be priority number one, then I’d like to purchase a system for workboxes that would fit our homeschool space. I’m super excited for this year!
Wow! What a generous giveaway! I would put the money in the bank for safekeeping!

With $500 dollars this week, I would probably put it in savings until I really needed it.
I would spend $500 on a ZooPhonics curriculum for my preschool!
We would definitely put the money into our savings account … my husband’s salary was cut and things are running very close month to month, so this would help with our bills!

We are just starting home school this year, and it seems we still have so much we need! I have been trying to build up our library, buy basic supplies, and secure various other things we need all while dealing with a HUGE vet bill (dog has severe allergies), recovering from a recent move and a new baby, and gearing up for deployment (hubby is military), among other things. Ever have one of those years where you just can’t seem to get ahead because everything seems to be working against you? Yeah, that would be this year. :) What would I do with $500? Probably use it to pay off a large chunk of that vet bill so we would actually have some discretionary cash flow to spend on school supplies and other needs again.
We just moved into our new building, but as I am new to the school, I am lacking in many materials the others teachers have. I’m not whining, just stating facts. Thanks!
This would be awesome!
We are going to be homeschoolingfor the first time this year. So this money would really be helpfull. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Well – five kids – arts and crafts, glue, scissors, the forever missing pencils and erasers – the list goes on – not to mention I could use some things for myself – white board markers – etc.
I’d spend it on school supplies and start a college fund for my boys.
Oh geez, what would I do with $500?! I would probably get a head start on buying things for preschool for my son, get nice art supplies for my daughter, and stock up on ink cartridges! Thank you for this opportunity!

I would buy the rest of our curriculum notebooking supplies and lapbooks.
My daughters are really interested in science. Yet the supplies for really fun experiences are way expensive. I’d stock up on supplies for science.. and use the rest for the other curriculum that we need for this coming year.
My family and I just moved to a new state and we are now a one income family. If I won I would buy my 2 daughters all their school supplies and clothes needed for the school year. I would also buy any supplies the classroom/teacher is in need of.

I love this giveaway-thanks for the opportunity! I have 5 children, ages 4-11, and my husband and I have been stressing how we are going to get by this fall. I am looking for part time work with the same hours as the kids’ school so I can be home for them in the afternoon. This money would be great for supplies, arts and crafts items for home, books, games for family nights, and food. It would be neat to put some toward a trip to discovery center in milwaukee or
old world wisconsinas a kind of “field trip” for us. I would love to win this!!
I would use it for our upcoming move- can’t wait to set up our brand new school room!

I’d finally buy the Oak Meadow curriculum that my daughter would love!
