Three thumbs up for you and your kindness in sharing !

 

I have many of your links already saved, but will read your list carefully for any others I might use.

 

I don't think that I saw this one on your list for high school:

http://www.hippocampus.org/ P.S. You did. I was looking for NROC, or the Monterrey Institute on your list, and forgot that they redesigned the resource to have the free courses housed at Hippo.

 

I taught U.S. history from that resource.

 

Also, did you include the online lessons from Annenberg ? I skimmed, but didn't see it initially. http://www.learner.org/ A few years ago, I brushed up my conversational Spanish by going through the entire online course.

 

Again, thank you so very much !

Actually, this is all of world history, not just ancient (I perpetuated the mistake, sorry!). there are also couple of other topic weeks thrown in (holidays, science, self-awareness).

 

Thanks for the list. It is great!

 

I changed it to world history :).

Great list! I wanted to add

 

www.tanglewoodeducation.com for whole curriculum ideas, book lists for grades 1-8, a free phonics/reading program, and some free lesson plans.

Thank you for this reminder! I downloaded "Really Reading!" some time back and forgot all about it.

 

Speaking of which, Galore Park has games to accompany Step by Step Reading; they are also described on the author's website.

My son learned to read with Really Reading and exposure to books alone. After completing the program he was reading at a third grade reading level.

I have found all manner of interesting things by poking around free archives of old books.

 

(I mentioned the 19th century schoolbooks website previously.)

 

I found this one on Google Books, for example, and I rather like it:

 

 

Course in nature study: for grades one and two

Detroit Public Schools

http://books.google.com/books?id=i8EOAAAAMAAJ

 

and I've just found this

Nature-study: a manual for teachers and students
