  1. I found it a fun place to browse and get motivated.  I tended to buy educational games that Lakeshore produced themselves so there really was no comparison shopping.  Last time I was there - which was awhile ago - they had a big screen with their computer games available to play.  I bought a few of those for pepping school up.  My son has aged out of all this fun stuff now.

  2. Go through all your eBooks and organize them into subject folders on a thumb drive. 

     

    Learn how to use your pdf software to remove and add pages to a pdf. Learn how to print in booklet form.

     

    Now that you have learned to make booklets, go through all your nicely organized eBooks and pluck the best pages from each of them and create little books that you will actually use. Create pretty cover pages for them.

     

     

    This is what I do!  How funny, Hunter.  Since I'm also down to my youngest, I try decide which books I will save for possible grandchildren or tutoring someday.  

  3. There's a Basher Geology - or something like that.  I also just had Painless Earth Science from the library.  I don't know if these are what you are looking for.  I also have an older book called Earth:  The Ever-Changing Planet by Donald Silver and Patricia Winn.  That team did the One Small Square book that were so popular for awhile.  It's a solid middle school level and beautifully illustrated.  Another option might be The Practical Geologist, which I have in my Amazon cart.  (Can you tell my son loves earth studies?)

  4. Have you also considered Co-Ops and Tutorials? In addition you can piece together an online curriculum.

     

    Time4Learning.com

    With

    Time4Writing.com (has live teachers)

    Currclick.com (for some courses that have live teachers)

    TeachingTextbooks.com for math

     

    *Hire a tutor 1/2 times a week for core courses (Math/English)

     

    The homeschool buyer's co-op has choices as well.  Plato Science comes to mind.  Plato has LA as well.  Uzinga or Adaptive Science could work.
