JudoMom Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I've been poking around the site for Teacher File Box and it looks interesting. I was wondering if anyone has subscribed and whether or not you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I subscribed to it until recently...I liked it a lot, but I really couldn't justify the cost for how much I was using it (it's really intended more for classroom teachers). If I'd actually planned out a curriculum incorporating it, it might have been worth it...but just using it as a supplement I finally had to pull the plug. Even though everything was so pretty.

mom2hunangirls Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Is it like The Mailbox? Or is this more like an actual curriculum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's printable versions of a whole, whole bunch of Evan Moor books/parts of books. Unless something's changed, you can look at everything they have on the site, you just can't print it out without paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I wish I hadn't. I would have been better off just buying the books I wanted. And it was a huge pain to unsubscribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieB Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Is there still a free trial offer available? I signed up when there was and it was ok.....but as with most of EMC and other companies like them, I found after a week or so of doing these daily they all seemed to be the same, only the topic changed. Of course, our family isn't exactly a big worksheet fan in the first place, so that could have a lot to do with it. If the free trial offer isn't listed on their website....it never hurts to email them and ask if there is a trial offer, worst they can say is no. But, be prepared to use a lot of paper and ink. And, as someone else said, unless you're really into worksheets, you'd probably be better off just buying the few books that you'd want to use.....because at least then you'd have the book to resell when you're done with it.

JennyL Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I noticed there is a free trial available. I love their books, but for the cost of a monthly membership, I think I would rather just buy the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The free (or $1?) trial requires you to give a credit card. You have to call them to cancel the account. So be careful -- you could be paying for months.

kokotg Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 And it was a huge pain to unsubscribe. I'd been meaning to cancel but hadn't gotten around to it, and then I got a notice from them that my credit card had expired. I guess that was the easy way to cancel ;).

carlychan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I actually find a lot of things I use on the website. I think the cost has went up since I first subscribed and mine has stayed the same ($10.71 a month). There is a lot more than just worksheets. They have tons of their literature/history pockets, science activities, Take it to your Seat projects, Pocket Books, and much, much more. It does have a lot of worksheets, but it is more than that. I use it to suppliment what we are doing. There were many great things for President's Day on there, including craft projects, booklets, and of course worksheets:) So, for me it is worth it. The books would cost a LOT more than my subscription. I could only afford 10 or so books a year with what I am paying. carly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I do subscribe - yearly which is a chunk of change at once but cheaper in the long run, if you think you will use it. I get many science worksheets there - additional stuff on the subject we are studying just to reinforce. It has a nice search engine that narrows down what you are looking for by grade and subject. I like being able to just print stuff out and not have to scan or copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osaubi Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I do subscribe, and can find what I want most of the time. I teach a couple of on going co-ops so for me it is worth it. Scholastic has one and so does Teacher Created Resources called Classroom Zoom. Both of these are cheaper than Teacherfile Box, but I can't find as much for the age group that I am currently teaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 You may want to check out edworksheets.com. I have found the materials to be very good, and the price is about a third of teacherfilebox. I started out using the free section, then I went ahead and became a member. It's been great.

HootyTooty Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I know this is an older thread but right now Homeschool Buyer Co-op is having a group buy for the teacher file box: https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/index.php?option=com_hsbc_epp_order&Itemid=1156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5knights3maidens Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I did for a little while but figured out it is really a waste of money. I did like it but I feel it is too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5knights3maidens Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Another thing. I believe they want you to get rid of everything you printed if you cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
