Aurelia Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Math Mammoth and copywork, so far. We used Beatrix Potter for Beginners after Ariel finished her first K handwriting workbook. I'm tempted to get the Australia and New Zealand Copywork from the same company because it tends to be a region of the world that's overlooked here.

ChristusG Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I usually buy fun unit studies that I just want to throw in and do for a day or two. The other day I bought a study on elephants (for $1.00). It has tons of stuff in it. We did it yesterday and today and my girls both loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've bought notebooking pages, Hands of a Child stuff, unit studies, and we've dine a few of the live classes. I haven't committed to a semester class yet, but would like to at some point. We have done a few of the one time live classes.....one on Easter and one on St. Patrick's Day. I know we have done others, I just can't think of them right now. The kids enjoy those and it's a fun break from routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 They have lots of neat free stuff. I've also purchased some Math Mammoth supplements there when I didn't own the entire blue series. I've also purchased homeschooling philosophy books that were on sale, a story about a homeschooled girl, lapbooks to use as supplements etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I purchased the Miquon First Grade Diary, plus the two Igniting Your Writing books. I downloaded free family tree notebooking pages for my 10yo nephew. I had also downloaded some free cursive copywork from Currclick before I decided to do Italics with dd.

lexi Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lapbooks from a Journey Through Learning.........and of course I grab some of the freebies too. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnegurochkaL Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Currclick just had a secret 50% off sale last week. I usually get free stuff, but during special sale I bought Ancient History Interactive units on Egypt, Greece and Rome. My kids are excited about it. I also have gotten Dinosaurs (creation based) Lapbook from A Journey Through Learning. We are looking forward to make it this summer. Last week Simple Schooling had an Open House where you could try some of their interactive units for free. They still have a 30% off subscription sale this week. Here is a link to the website: http://thesimplehomeschool.com/ Here is a link to a bee unit my child enjoyed so much:) http://homeschool-forum.com/bees/player.swf Edited May 25, 2011 by SneguochkaL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I score the monthly freebies. I love the stuff put out by Katie's Homeschool Cottage, but she only has Nature Studies at this time & A shakespeare study. History Pockets, love those! Educational Game books That's barely scraping the top for me though. Living overseas I do pick up quite a bit from Currclick because it's quicker and easier to obtain. :D For instance, i purchased one of our science books from there this year because between my affiliate credits and the lack of shipping it was quicker/cheaper to obtain it that way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrissySC Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lapbooks and the suggested workbooks for outlining, short story, etc. There are tons of great workbooks for language arts and information relationships - analogies, idioms, fact finding, etc. I get copywork too. I just stumbled on the Ambrose Videos - looking now. I get quite a few things actually. I go there before anywhere else because more often than not it has what I want to supplement and enrich our fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Other than freebies, I get notebooking pages. I think I have purchased some random things from them in the past, but then I didn't use them. I may buy an Intellego unit study from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I've bought a few things over the past few months, especially when I don't want to wait for shipping or I want to mix together a few pages from a few different curricula. The bad thing is I have memory loss issues and sometimes lose my downloads and don't even remember that I bought them at all :-( I think Currclick keeps a list of purchases. I'll have to see if I own something good that I have completely forgotten about :-) My last purchase was a Mark Twain workbook on World Geography based on the 5 themes of Geography. I'm currently assembling my own geography textbook and certain pages were perfect. I really like the old National Geographic 5 themes better than the current 18 standards, but all the 5 themes textbooks from the 1990s are outdated and secular. Now that I have found a cheap source of ink for my older printer and my current hobby of making frankentextbooks, I'll be ordering more from them than I had been.

Scrapmom3 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We have enjoyed lapbooks and unit studies--lots of freebies with these and holidays. Recently, we tried a live cooking class from Mixing Bowl Aceademy. Ds loved it! We are signed up for several of the family cooking classes this summer.

2cents Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We've done some of the online Science Jim classes. He is so entertaining and the girls get a kick out of his classes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
