Helpful Homeschooling Websites

February 3, 2011Written by Joy

It has been in my heart lately to share more on homeschooling. Since this is our 8th year of homeschooling, I have a few websites I use often every year. Perhaps the websites will be helpful to you. One good thing about them? They are free! I like free things and I am pretty sure you do too!

The first website that I am going to tell you about is Learning Page. I like this site for several reasons. The first is it has handwriting pages you can copy. You can choose what style of writing to print out. It has Zaner-Bloser, D’Nealian and Cursive. Learning Page also has themes. It has basic themes like time, money and numbers. It also has different ones for animals, the ocean and space. Learning Page also includes monthly sheets that has different themes for different holidays and special days of the month. They all come with fact files and fun worksheets. One of the things that also drew me to Learning Page is the books section. It is a series of books about a little boy named Tommy. The books comes with teacher’s notes, worksheets and fact files. You can print these books out and read them daily. My kids have had a blast with these little unit studies. Perhaps you and your children will too.

The next website that we have used often is Science Buddies. we go to this site every year when we start planning out science fair projects. Science Buddies has a section for teachers, parents and students. It has over a thousand of ideas for science projects. It will tell you what you need for the project as well as walk you through the project. Science Buddies even has a place where you can ask an expert about a project if you are having trouble. Science Buddies has a blog, a newsletter and a facebook page that will keep you up to date on any changes or new ideas that come out. So be sure to check this place out.

By no means have I received any compensation for talking about these 2 websites. They are just websites that I have come across in my homeschooling journey and has helped us with new little studies and ideas. Hopefully they will also benefit you in your homeschooling journey.

Blessings to you all!

Ephesians 2:1-10 – By Grace Through Faith

Ephesians 2:1-10

1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
