The next time you're looking for some videos of marine life or animal life, you need to check out OceanFootage.com and NatureFootage.com. Both sites actually offer stock footage for licensing, but the videos are available for viewing, so homeschoolers can easily use the site for educational purposes. The videos on both sites are organized in […]
Get Free Books (and other stuff) from Amazon.com
I adore Amazon.com. We order books from Amazon at least once a month. Thankfully for our bank account, a good portion of those books are free because of Swagbucks. If you haven't checked out Swagbucks yet, you're seriously missing out — especially if you're a homeschooler. By doing web searches like you'd normally be doing, […]
Interest-led History Lessons: Jewish History and WWII
Interest-led history lessons can benefit the learner and the teacher. Ask you kids what they would like to learn about, it may surprise you. Although we'd planned to have Jaden study the Middle Ages this year, we've changed our mind (one of the benefits of homeschooling). Last month we asked Jaden to write down a […]
Free Online Backup for your Important Homeschool Documents
I use the computer a lot for homeschooling. I save ebooks, schedules and calendars I create, and so much more. To complicate the issue, I have more than one computer that I use, so it's a pain to have to copy the file from one computer to the other to make any changes to it. […]
How to Improve Your Study Skills
Jaden's in the 8th grade now, and he's doing a lot more studying on his own. We've been working really hard on improving his study skills, and I've looked for some books that might help him in that area. After seeing How to Study: A Practical Guide for a Christian Perspective recommended on a curriculum […]
Understand Idioms with Online Idiom Dictionary
Idioms are a part of everyone's daily spoken vocabulary, so of course children need to learn what idioms mean. I've written before about a number of excellent resources for understanding idioms, but my husband introduced me to a new one recently. IdiomDictionary.com is a quick and easy way to find explanations and examples for over 5,000 idioms. […]
Free Cursive Handwriting Curriculums
In my search for a quality cursive handwriting curriculum, I found a website that has collected an incredible number of calligraphy and penmanship curriculums and books from decades ago. Many of the books are available as free downloadable pdfs, while others can be viewed exclusively online. You can view their entire index of calligraphy and penmanship […]
How to Find Good Books for Your Kids to Read
Finding good books for your kids to read can be challenging. Over the years I've often referred to a number of book lists to help me find new reading material. Here are two of my favorites. 1000 Good Books List, by Classical Christian Education. This list is separated by general reading level. Ambleside Online Booklists. […]
How to Homeschool Better with Netflix
If you're like me, and you don't have cable or satellite tv, and you also live in a town with a less-than-satisfactory library, finding videos and DVD's to supplement curriculum can be difficult. But we don't have that problem anymore. Netflix is now as much a part of our homeschool curriculum as math and science. […]
Online Typing Lessons
My oldest two children used Mavis Beacon's typing course to learn to type a couple of years ago. It was a great program, and both kids can now type very well. But we just discovered that the Mavis Beacon cd won't work on my youngest daughter's computer. So I did some research to find some […]
