Websites We Use For Homeschool

This week's theme is websites used for homeschooling. These suggestions are for the younger crowd.

There is so much free stuff out there to supplement our curriculums. If you were low on funds and had time, you could design your own curriculum with stuff from the internet. We definately use it as a tool to supplement our homeschool. We try to have a once-a-week unit study day, where all the lessons are based upon a favorite book. This week we will have two, If You Give a Pig a Pancake and The Tales of Peter Rabbit.

My daughter also loves to have lessons based on her favorite shows (like Barney, caillou and Arthur). There are plenty of printables and games at http://www.pbskids.org/ and shows like Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer at http://www.nickjr.com/. One spring and summer I made a whole preschool curriculum based on the printables and games at these sites, along with the shows and books we had on hand and at the library. Another option would be to record the shows and use the theme. For example, a Barney show may be about the farm or transportation. You get the idea.
