Wonderful New Resource

I found a wonderful new resource yesterday. I get an email around every other day with links to free homeschool resources (apps, books, printables, etc). There is a religious aspect to some of the free resources if that is what you are interested in, but there is also quite a bit that can be used without including the religious aspect. You can follow this link to Compass Classroom and then click on Fun & Free. You'll find free lessons on social justice, literature, economics, Latin, and more.

I'm really excited to have found this new resource and to be able to share it! I've added it to the resources page also so it will be easily found in the future if need be!

Happy Homeschooling!! :)

Getting Our Curriculum Ready!

Whoa!! The summer is ironically one of the busiest times for me...I'm busy preparing the curriculum for the upcoming year. Definitely check the resources page often over the next days and weeks...I will be adding pages often since this is when I'm accessing them most!

Getting the curriculum and work for the year ready is super exciting but it is tedious work. I love finding new resources and especially preparing the lessons! It's even more exciting in high school because of the interesting electives. This year he has chosen Video Game Theory, Creating Video Games, Notable People, History of Christianity, and Special Victims Law. (If anyone is interested, Video Game Theory and Analysis and Creating Video Games are free online full courses at MIT) I am still looking for resources for Special Victims Law, so if anyone knows of any good resources please leave a comment or inbox me with the info!!
