Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

This is our first year HS our two girls and we are on a very tight budget. You just saved me a ton of money. Do you know by chance a place to get timeline figures to go with MOH? God Bless!!!

 

I just use google images, I find one for each lesson, right click and download

I found this italics font that is available for free download. The samples look beautiful and I hope it will be a big help to those who want to create Getty-Dubay-style italics copywork.

 

It is called the Victoria modern cursive font.

Sample http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/teachlearn/student/alphabetmodele.pdf

 

 

EDIT: I found another free italics font from down under. It is called the Queensland font and it is available in both print and cursive styles. The package includes a very helpful PDF guide on cursive joins, plus a document editor program which creates the cursive joins (regular document editors like Word wont create the joins but can display the basic cursive font.)

 

Download the zip package here and install SETUP.EXE http://education.qld.gov.au/curriculum/area/literacy/qcursive/

Thanks for sharing these resources!

[materursa]

I'm not sure if you would get every image you need for MOH here, but, there is a set of over 1000 free timeline figures here at Westvon Publishing.

 

Also, a good place for a whole bunch of free history books is Heritage History.

[beccad777]

Thanks for bumping this! I have no idea how I missed it before. And thanks to the OP for sharing all your hard work.

I have an updated free link list saved in google documents in case anyone is interested. The link is in my signature.

[stripe]

Thanks for making that list!

 

By the way, you could add Mater Amabilis to your list

http://www.materamabilis.org/ma ,

as it's a free Catholic CM style curriculum.

 

You might want to put the acronym MEP or what it stands for (Mathematics Enhancement Programme) there instead of "Centre for Innovation (UK)" as I think more people call it MEP.

Awesome list! I'll be spending time looking at math, science, and typing later. :)

 

Here is a free literature program that follows the 4-year history cycle:

Eventually it will have all four time periods for grades 1 - 4 and grades 5 - 8.

I might have missed this listing but Khan Academy has lots of high school level math and science lectures for free, plus SAT prep help.

 

Also, I didn't seen Classic Language Arts listed either.

 

I highly recommend both these resources.

[Soror]

I made a list as well, compiling from Chelscate's list and several others I found different places and searching various free curriculum posts.

 

The formatting is far from perfect, but it is a pretty fair compilation I think.

thowell, take a look at this thread I've linked . There are some links posted on it that include free printable timeline figures.

Oooops, I just saw that this is an old thread that was resurrected. Well, maybe you or someone will need the timeline figures.

[LittleIzumi]

There's also an entire book of updated links on free resources for all subjects & ages,

There are extra guides you can buy called Bring History Alive.

 

There's also a US History version. These are from UCLA and UCSD. I haven't used it yet, since my oldest is only 10. The curriculum looks really rigorous and exciting.

 

Great thread, by the way!!!

Can anyone think of a quick/easy way for me to save the lists above? Thanks much.

[stripe]

How about going under thread tools to printable version, then asking for 50 posts per page, like this:

 

http://welltrainedmind.com/forums/printthread.php?t=109114&pp=50

 

Then you can copy and paste OR print out those three pages?

 

Hope that helps.

Here's one I just found:

 

http://www.readworks.org/

 

ReadWorks is presented by educators and the not-for-profit organization Urban Education Exchange (a 501c3). Our sole mission is to close the achievement gap in reading comprehension throughout the United States.

 

We improve teacher effectiveness and student achievement by providing K‐6 educators with a proven online reading comprehension curriculum and methodology, together with targeted online and in‐person training. We are proud to provide this curriculum and online training for free as our contribution to solving the national crisis in reading comprehension.

Our growing consortium of partners includes prominent national education and school networks, researchers, educators, premium publishers of educational and multimedia content, philanthropic organizations, and individual supporters.

For Spanish, Mi Vida Loca. This saved our school year, after a disastrous beginning with BJUP Spanish 1 with DVDs. Mi Vida Loca is for middle school students, and probably not for your first exposure to the language. But if you've had a little intro, it's terrific.

Thanks!

Aly, you can also "subscribe" to this thread, by clicking on "thread tools" above. So it'll be there when you need it. :001_smile: To see the threads you've subscribed to, go to Quick Links, click it, then click Subscribed Threads. Handy little feature!

I don't see Serendipity on your list. Thought I'd mention it too! Thanks for sharing! :)

[Heidi {AK}]

You may add for MATH (Pre-Algebra through Algebra II):

 

www.kutasoftware.com - free worksheets by objective

 

and for unit studies:

 

www.homeschoolsupercenter.com - if you google a book name followed by the phrase "unit study," chances are, if it's a classic, there will be a .pdf document with TONS of great ideas as well as a plan for lessons!

WOW! The list is growing and growing...

Thank you!!!!

I don't have any sites to add, but thank you so much. DH is taking the girls shopping tomorrow morning, so I may have to free time to check out all these sights.:)

[engu]

The site http://www.onlinetutoringworld.com was a great resource for me when I was working as an ESL teacher. It's great for tutors teaching ESL over the internet and as a resource about online tutoring in general.

[silliness7]

Awesome List!!

I didn't see our current free favorite www.bookadventure.com

Reading comprehension quizzes with prizes. This is mainly for elementary-aged students.

 

ETA: I copied and pasted this from the top of their website.

 

Book Adventure is a FREE reading motivation program for children in grades K-8. Children create their own book lists from over 7,000 recommended titles, take multiple choice quizzes on the books they've read, and earn points and prizes for their literary successes. Book Adventure was created by and is maintained by Sylvan Learning.
