Outside Resources

These are things we either currently use, or will use in the future.

For Parents:

Secular Homeschool  - this link takes you to THEIR link page, with sites and good stuff like that, with a secular bent. They also do giveaways, and have a forum. A great resource!

CIA World Factbook - this is updated weekly, and has all the information you could possibly want on every country in the world.

Lesson Pathways - this is free curriculum and links to support different concepts.

Homeschool Math - Awesome math worksheets you can easily print. The first grade section has addition, subtraction, money, time, etc.

1+1+1 - Tons of great resources here. It's called "tot school" but it has things that you can easily apply to bigger kids, too. Lots of great ideas and printables.

Two Teaching Mommies - these ladies do unit based learning, too. I grabbed their dino pack for our unit on Dinosaurs - some really cute stuff!

Free Reading - a completely free reading curriculum. I haven't played with it a whole lot yet, but it looks awesome.

Progressive Phonics - I love this program and I can't believe it's free!

Kid Zone - lots of great printables, and some really awesome science experiments!

Mr. Q's Lab - really great science support for homeschoolers. They have a monthly news letter with science experiment ideas, and their Classic Science curriculum is free (and awesome).

Handwriting- Make your own handwriting sheets for practice.

Homeschool freebies- Every weekday, they will post a homeschool "freebie".

Neok12-Educational lessons and games for K-12

For kiddos:

Starfall - of course :)

More Starfall - this is a *paid* portion of Starfall that's new - it's pretty awesome with a good Kinder skill set.
