Entropymama Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm making a list of all the free programs I can find to post on my hs network's website. These can be curriculum packages, resources, websites, anything. You don't have to be using them, or even like them. :D The goal is to show those who feel they can't afford to homeschool that there are options for them. Thanks in advance!

AudreyTN Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Someone did that not too long ago... you might try searching the board. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yep, try searching the board. I know there have been several threads that list free curriculums, although I've never read them. Things that come to mind immediately that I am aware of and utilize: Reading/phonics: Progressive Phonics Math: MEP Not curriculum, but handy homeschool tools: Homeschool Skedtrack Lesson Pathways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brieana I don't have time for links The Baldwin Project The Gutenburg Project Ambleside Online Handbook of Nature Study blog (see her Outdoor Hour challenges for nature study) Calculus Made Easy (an out of copyright text that is available online) I would also suggest the education sections for Colonial Williamsburg National Parks Service sites Zoos and aquariums museums (especially for traveling or special exhibits) state department of natural resources websites (Ohio, for example has good stuff) Nest of 3 has posted many links to good online teacher guides. You might want to scan through her posts, in particular on the curriculum board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 There are so many resources that come to mind, but two are clickschooling - which is a daily educational web link you can sign up to get - and the blog http://www.freetech4teachers.com/ which is free educational resources (many are things that are only useful for classroom teachers, but many are things homeschoolers would be interested in).

Entropymama Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 WOW. I had no idea there was this much out there! Thanks everybody! P.S. I tried searching the boards but I just end of getting sucked into threads that aren't what I meant to be looking for... and 2 hours later... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Oh yeah, someone mentioned the free history but couldn't remember the name/link, we've also taken advantage of that program. It is Myths, Maps, and Marvels. We enjoyed Homeschool Share when we had our short stint in unit studies/lapbooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
