Great finds!

Today included some web surfing for my homeschool. I found a few really geat finds to share.

First and most exciting to me is Home Share. It's google but for homeschoolers! We type in what we're looking for and it provides us with googled links that are suitable for homeschool! I am completely excited about that.

Next I found Worksheet Works. The thing I love about this is it allows you to go in and set some parameters for what you want in your child's worksheet in a particular theme and it creates a worksheet for you! How awesome is that? For example - Ashlee is learning her multiplication table right now. We are up to the three's. So - I plugged in my parameters of 3x12 as the maximum and she now has a worksheet with variables of 1x, 2x and 3x any numbers up to 12. Fantastic!

And finally, I happen to own the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" because it was recommended to me. Case seems to like it but we'd set it aside recently. While on my tour of the web, I found that donnayoung.org has worksheets that coordinate with each of the 100 lessons in the book! Free! I've printed out the worksheets for the first 10 lessons and all of the traceable cards and slipped them into page protectors. My plan is to use the book for Case and then again for Mason. Each boy will get to practice the letters they are learning with dry erase markers. If you are looking for this resource, visit her at http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/manuscript-lessons.htm

The other two links have been added to my sidebar. Happy surfing!
