mommy25qtpies Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Are there other free curriculum out there like Easy Peasy? Found the old free curriculum list from 2009. Doesn't seem up to date anymore:) Thanks in advance. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 There's this: http://www.oldfashionededucation.com/ but your original post seems to indicate that it's not really your style, lol. I'd suggest doing a search for a member of the forums called "Hunter". There's a link in her sig line to a curriculum she put together (with a little help from the hive) that uses public domain books. You can download and print for free and if you like it, you can probably find paper copies of the books inexpensively and save your time and printer ink. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syllieann Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 There is a new one, discovery k12. I only played with it a little, but it strikes me as having much in common with easy peasy. http://discoveryk12.com/dk12/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitterpatter Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have no idea whether this is supposed to be free, but this teacher links to Houghton-Mifflin's third-grade Journeys reading series program, which is popular in the public school realm. There are a lot of components that can be printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J&JMom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Language arts workbooks: http://www.mhschool.com/reading/treasure_workbooks/national.html The reading books to go with them: http://fms01.sd54.k12.il.us/treasures/default.htm The teacher files to go with the above language arts program (Treasures) can be found here (Florida edition follows the national): http://www.glencoe.com/mhln/isbn/MMH/FL09/te/g5/ Replace the "5" on the end with the grade level desired. BTW Florida only goes to grade 5 so grade 6 is not available here. Open best in explorer as Adobe, not browser pdf. Open on your ipad and save directly into ibooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J&JMom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Wow. I have never seen this! Totally great, and has me rethinking LA ;) Thanks for sharing! I haven't found answers to the workbooks yet... are they possibly in this site and I'm missing them? The workbook answers are inside the teacher edition pdfs (unit links) in the wraparound. Glad I could help. This is what I have used in my homeschool for grades 2-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Jennifer, this is my attempt to put together a free curriculum. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9Fvf4FXKZtofnVZNzJybVRFcXV6al9XdHgxaVZLQl9xZHQ3aUt3S0p3eEFjd01WMUJxTzg&usp=sharing There are many ways to do free, but one of my top priorities is to use books that are available as free downloads, but also in professionally published books with modern copyright dates, so that mom isn't handing something into the school board with just pre-1923 copyrights. Is that cheating? I don't care. Also beware that the math is a bit "behind" on purpose. I scheduled the math when it is most likely to stick, so mom is only teaching it once. Waiting to teach math skills just a bit later than is the current trend makes them easier to learn for a lot of students. As I said, there are so many ways to do free. I has so many choices to make. I created a stereotypical family in my head, and then did the best I could to put together something doable and hopefully acceptable to school boards in low regulation states. I tried to factor in what people seem to like and not like about Ambleside Online, Robinson Curriculum, and Thomas Jefferson Education. The primary science book is the Handbook of Nature Study and 3 more books are scheduled. Usually 2 of the books are linked to the nature study topics and one is something other than nature study. After the first 3 years history is chronological. The history spines chosen were as story based as possible, as modern people seem to have more tolerance for older history stories, than drier texts. The literature is integrated with the nature study and history, with an attempt to balance boy/girl characters and add a title or two that is not integrated for a little variety.

Hunter Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Sorry, I am tapping this out on a phone and it is really awkward. You will see all the Ambleside goodies, like Plutarch and Shakespeare, but adaptions are used longer. There is a second file called the Word Cloud version. I don't recommend that. That is for stubborn students in love with those pleather books and won't read anything else. It is completely developmentally inappropriate.
