Free Internet Resources...

I love FREE things... and FREE homeschool stuff is even better!!!

There are so many sites that you could literally create a whole years curriculum and only spend the cost of the monthly internet charge, paper,  and ink for the printer...

So here's some of my favorites...

    Dynamic 2 Moms  this is an incredible site with lapbook, notebook, and unit study resources for history and science...The pieces can be downloaded and printed seperately so you can print only what you will use...They even include background info which makes it easy to teach the material...I love the fact that they are willing to share all their hard work with everyone in the homeschool community!!! 2 wonderful ladies!!

       Homeschoolshare is an on-line cooperative effort of several homeschooling moms to provide free but quality literature-based unit studies and resources. You can find all sorts of unit studies, lapbooks, notebook and stuff in between for every subject, theme, or idea you have. And the cross book lists that coordinate with other curriculums like Sonlight, FIAR , and Usborne are fantastic!! Definitely a 2 thumbs up for this site!!! (p.s. I use it literally every week or so)

    Guest Hollow is another one of my favorites... You can find a complete 2 yr. American History curriculum, a science curriculum focusing on the human body (different levels for preschoolers through 6th grade),  and a Ancient World History program. They also have some great printables, information, articles and resources for a variety of homeschooling subjects like math, language arts, and science.

     Lesson Planet  is a  search engine that makes it easy for teachers to search over 200,000 teacher-reviewed online lesson plans and 150,000 online worksheets.

 The Homeschool Mom is a site that offers a wonderful place to get tons unit studies and homeschool lesson plans for everything you could think of. It's home to thousands of quality resources where you can also find planner sheets, forms, menus, articles, websites, and more.  

     

 The Homeschool Channel is a website that offers videos, articles, interviews with leading authorities in homeschool styles, homeschool speakers, and some great FREE programming that can be used by itself as a class. My kidlets and I have enjoyed some great shows and learned tons by just clicking on the link.  Shows like "Drive Thru History", "Creatures that Defy Evolution" , "The Constitution", "Answers in Genesis", and the "American Heritage Series"...

American Heritage is a site where you can order a CD for FREE that contains a full history curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Math Mammoth is a  curriculum that you pay for, but you can sign up for the FREE package of 300 worksheets and sample pages;

Spelling City is the ultimate online spelling program... you can use lists that have been pre-made by others, or make up games using your own lists... You can use it as your spelling program or as a go-along for the program you are already using and the best part is: it's FREE!!!

Then finally there is the SCOTT FORESMAN Online Grammar program for grades 1-6...here you can find your complete grammar curriculum for FREE and can print off worksheets if needed or just do the work on paper from the screen... the choice is yours...

Well, I hope these links are going to be as helpful to you as they have been to me the last several years... With the economy in such a slug, it makes it even harder on the homeschool family...

Happy Learning!!
