Fiddlesticks Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 MEP Engineering is Elementary Aras, Engineering is Elementary doesn't appear to be free. Do you use any part of their free resources or were you just suggesting the paid curicuulum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aras Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I don't use the paid curriculum, I used their Engineering Adventures curriculum. That is free and it was developed to be used for after school programs geared towards 3rd-5th graders. You have to fill out a quick survey to be able download it. You can buy classroom kits that provide supplies and teacher's manuals, but the downloaded teacher's manual and student books were easy to print and I found all of the supplies I needed at Walmart and Lowe's. http://eie.org/engineering-adventures/ I used the Earthquake Engineering unit as a 6 week coop class that had 9yos to 12 yos and it was really wonderful. I loved it and the kids loved it. I am planning on doing the rest of them! My son said, "That was really fun and awesome." My daughter said, "I love engineering!" It was time well spent! They have also developed a free series for middle schoolers called Engineering is Everywhere. I haven't used those yet. http://eie.org/engineering-everywhere I hope that helps :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubiac Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Librivox Wikipedia Little Free Libraries Lulu & Leo Fund's SuperArtist Challenges SchoolSparks Kindergarten Worksheets >> I don't actually use these much, but dang, they are beautiful free printables for every pre-K/K topic under the sun. Friendly strangers: I recruit everyone I can to teach my kids for me. Just in the past week a fabric shop lady taught the 4yo a little about clothes, fabric and quilting, and the smoke shop guy explained cigars after we encountered an exploding cigar joke in a read-aloud. I've never had anyone refuse a polite request in the vein of "Could you please tell us a little about such-and-such?" Most people are delighted to share their knowledge.

Miss Tick Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 All my favorite school ones are up here (MEP, library, Prog. Phonics, etc.j, but every once in a while we get lost in the website "the kid should see this" and I suspect you could use it to really supplement art, science, math, etc. if I could just stop watching and explore the search function.

chelsmm Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 What a great thread! I can't wait to spend some time checking out all of these sites. One that I didn't see mentioned was Salsa Spanish. We use Elementary Spanish from Discovery Education, which is not free, but the kids love Salsa as a supplement. We also make use of our library system and the system a few towns over. Between the two they can get us just about anything. I'm waiting on SOTW2 audio right now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
