Free Homeschool Resources
Monday, March 3, 2008

Since we have been battling influenza in our home for almost 3 weeks, I have learned that day and night are relative. I take the 3rd shift to watch Caleb and make sure he gets his tylenol and ibuprofen and take him potty. He is at the stage where he needs to be held by Mommy ONLY, so I am here. On the couch with him. And, Jocelyn, who is still recuperating, is also down here. As a matter of fact, I was thinking last night that our living room really is like a mini-recupe center.

E-BooK: The Play BookAnyway, my midnight shift gives me plenty of time on the computer between rehydrating children, potty breaks and coercing meds(if I can keep my eyes open) to research and make lists or do some planning. I spent time last night perusing The Old schoolhouse Store. I went over to download my EFreebie, which I found on my TOS Enewsletter.The Freebie right now is E-BooK: The Play Book from Art of Eloquence. Afterward, I started looking for math products. Then I went to the A Beka site. We used A Beka with Amanda, Jocelyn and Rachel. I liked the strong base it gave them, and the workbooks are near as extensive as I remember them to be. We have used Saxon, but it is not for everyone, and a lot of times, they skip things they already know anyway.

In searching for math, I remembered Donna Young's site. It is probably something most online-savvy homeschool moms already know about, but I always find these great sites (like DonnaYoung.org), and then I forget shortly thereafter. So, I will be linking her in my sidebar, and hopefully that will help me to get over there for all her great ideas and free worksheets, printables, etc.

I actually went over there after searching the Charlotte Mason Resources at TOSstore. I went over to find the timeline I think I already blogged about. It is very nice, and you can use either a ring-bound book or a 3-ring binder to make it. Amanda and I were talking about it, and I was showing her the pictures of it, and I thought how fun it would be to copy pictures of my grandparents and different events in our families' lives and put them into the timeline, just to see what they lived through.

The timeline is Charmaine Wistad's Timeline Book. If you are interested, here are the Timeline Book Instructions

She has a Free Homeschool Planner Home that includes Homeschool Planner Guide, Lesson Plan Forms, Administrative Planner Forms and Homeschool List Forms

If you are new to homeschooling, you may want to check out her Planning for Beginners, How To Make Simple Lesson Plans, and (Surviving) The Curriculum Fair.

Here are some of the many other subjects she has on her site:

Calendars, Homeschool Attendance Forms, Homeschool Time Forms, Homeschool Course of Study Forms, Grade Recording Forms, Transcripts
Nature Journal, Homeschooling Science - Grades 4, 5, 6

 

Donna's site is so very full of information, I can't do it justice. You will just have to go peruse for your self. You will not be disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to navigate her site. The site has been re-done since I was there last, and it is very nice. Get a cuppa coffee, take a little bit of planning time and find some resources you will surely use in your homeschool! Be sure to look over her blog, Donna Young: Another Blessed Day in the Life.

Another favorite EBook Freebie resource of mine is the Homeschool EStore.

I don't always use every free ebook, but I have found many useful ones, and I have not been disappointed. I am still getting used to using EBooks, but I love the print-ability of having one for each child without purchasing several.

 Blessings!

Yuck...sorry to hear about your family's illness. Thanks for posting about the Homeschool E-store. I was reminded that for some reason I'm no longer getting their e-mails. I always loved their freebies, and I miss them!

What an inspiration of a mom you are!

Still praying for Caleb's healing and that your home would be cleansed of this sickness. Also for God to sustain you through it all, in Jesus' name.

You always have such fantastic links. I just love your tribute to your Mom, what a blessing. It is amazing how we change from the way our Moms did things, but then also miss those memories of our own growing up years. I am so glad you are doing such fantastic things with your kids. Enjoy every moment. Hugs!

The scoop on me: Believer for 20 years; married 19 years; 8 children so far, hoping for more; live on a great hobby farm, with 7 goats, 2 dogs and 68 chickens. Oh, and 1 bathroom. That's always fun. :) The scoop on our homeschool: Bible-first, Living Learning Moments, meaning if it happens, it's a lesson. We learn life! How long have we been homeschooling? Well, our oldest is 18. How much longer do we have to go? Well, our youngest is almost 1. We love it and wouldn't have it any other way.


Jeremiah 6:16
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.

HOMESCHOOLING
~Resources for Homeschoolers~


Keep their hearts. If you don't have their hearts, take note and re-capture their hearts!
Don't let the seeds sown by the ideal of today's youth culture ruin the glorious plans God has for your child.
Satan wants him. Your child is a jewel in Christ's crown, and satan wants him.
Train him as such.
You want him more. So does the Lord.

Deuteronomy 6:1-13

1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

Exodus 20:1-17 The Ten Commandments

1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

Matthew 6:7-13
The Lord's Prayer

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
