Welcome to Freebie Fridays!
One thing I love about homeschooling is how willing homeschoolers are to share resources with each other. Home School Launch is a website that gets homeschool parents to do just that. This website allows homeschoolers to upload the things they have created for their children to share with other parents. I found a bunch of great items at this site!
A few of my favorites are:
Headline of the Day - Write out a headline for your child on the top of the page and this worksheet will help them research the article.
How To Write A Check - This free printable has one check that shows you what goes where. Then the 2nd page has blank checks you can practice with.
Learn The Books Of the Bible - This is really neat! It breaks the Old and New Testaments up into Law, Historical Books, Poetry, Gospels, etc. There is also a brief description of each book. Kids have to find the correct book to fill in the blanks.
Shakespeare Notebooking Pages - Blank lined pages with beautiful drawings of Shakespeare.
Firefighter ABC Match-Up Cards - These cute little cards can be printed on card stock and cut apart to make a fun game.
This website is a treasure trove of freebies! Not all members have uploaded files yet. I recommend you start at the Member List where it will show you who has files uploaded and you can start searching from there. You can also join for free and start uploading your own files to share!
Here is another great freebie for your family! veg4health.com is offering a free E-Book, Wisdom From the Kitchen just for Freebie Friday subscribers. Here is some information about the E-Book. "Tired of trying to eat healthy but it's just too hard and too expensive? Then this book is just what you, your family and your checkbook need. Written by a homeschool mom with years of experience counseling and helping families change their lifestyles and improve their quality of life, this book will help you too. Best of all, the techniques, suggestions and organizational tools will enable you to easily prepare tasty, healthy meals and snacks that will please every palate - without spending more time in the kitchen, or money in your food budget." All you have to do is sign up for the free newsletter and you will get a free copy of the E-Book. You will find all the information HERE.
Do you have a list of goodies you'd like from the Schoolhouse Store? I know I do! I'd much prefer resources that I'll use all year to flowers that will die or candy that I don't need! This is your chance to let your hubby know exactly what you need by sending him a Schoolhouse Store wishlist for Mother's Day. Not only that,but you have a chance to win a $150 gift certificate while you're at it! See details HERE or go right to the form HERE.
I'll see you next week right here at - Freebie Fridays!
Happy Homeschooling,
Jamin
