Okay, this is a cool site and a favorite amongst those who have the book. We
have used this site to fix things like the phone, garage door problem, and
a toilet problem. You will find just about everything a kid or parent
would want to know. If it isn't there, post your question!

bookmark for birthdays and the holidays. If you are looking for some quality
educational games for the kids then look at what these folks have.
Memoria Press
http://http://www.memoriapress.com
Latina Christiana is designed for grades 3-6 as an introduction to Christian Latin.
We have tried other Latin programs and this one was very successful for us. They also have a wonderful logic curriculum
that was reviewed in the newsletter and is here on my website. I used Logic Book I & II for all my high school children.

50
States
http://www.50states.com/
This is the place to go to begin your hunt for your home state information. Here
in Indiana, we must teach state history in 4th grade. Many other states have the
same requirement, like MI for example. The site has added a lot of advertisements so make sure to look for the blank maps
you can download and print.
Free Federal Resources for Educational
Excellence
http://www.ed.gov/free/
While you may not find exactly what you want here there are many good resources
to pull out of this site. Caution of course because some items will be
evolutionary based or secular in nature but some items are still worthy.

Looking for good used curriculum? Try this site to see if they have what you are looking for.
They have a mailing list so you can stay up on what they currently have. Please make sure you read their
key codes to the descriptions of the book condition. They do have new books as well and the search engine seems really good.
Locks of Love
http://www.locksoflove.org/
While this is not a homeschooling site it is worthy of mentioning here. They are a non-profit organization that provides
hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children across the U.S. under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss.

and a few more. Check out all the lessons and other goodies.
Alpha Phonics
http://www.alphaphonics.com/
I just can't say enough great things about this phonics program and Sam Blumenfield. I have used this with all my children and
with a great success rate to teach them how to read. I was so happy when they brought back the origianl book because for a while there they started selling it in the kit.
Make sure you read the Blumenfield Education Newsletter that he used to write as it pertains
a wealth of info on OBE, whole language, and other education topics. The articles are free, so I would copy ones of interest to you before they are gone forever.
The
History Net

Here is where you can find all sorts of curious facts and information on
world and US history. You have to check out the eye witness accounts area!
