Schoolhouse Review Crew ~ SchoolhouseTeachers.com

Since I write product reviews as a member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew (associated with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine), I probably am a bit biased about SchoolhouseTeachers.com (also associated with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine). But I am going to work really hard to keep this review unbiased! So my official unbiased opinion is that SchoolhouseTeachers is terrific.

Here's why I feel that way:

     At SchoolhouseTeachers.com, you have access to a huge variety of homeschool lessons, first-class teachers, awesome planners for your every need, digital issues of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, daily items (called Schoolhouse Dailies), monthly themes, encouraging and useful resources galore (Schoolhouse Libraries), and much, much more. In fact, there is so much available at SchoolhouseTeachers that you simply cannot use it all. But that's one of it's selling points; you have plenty to choose from, so you can pick what you want to use in your homeschool.

Some ideas of what I used with my kiddos include the Map Assignments (specifically The Boxer Rebellion). It was a snap to use, which is great for us since we don't do full-time school during the summer months. The assignments are divided into grade levels, so each child just does the work listed for their grade. I also printed out some math fact sheets, just because it's a good idea to review math facts over the summer to help with mastery and retention. I also used several grammar worksheets and even chose to laminate a couple of them for use during our normal school year. Keep in mind that this is how I utilized SchoolhouseTeachers.com the first week I had access to the website. As I have been planning for the upcoming academic year, I have found a whole lot of resources that I will implement! And right now, you can find Summer Olympics lessons in the Schoolhouse Dailies category. The summer games only happen once every four years - you don't want to miss out on the chance to enjoy them as a family while learning at the same time!




I have mentioned a couple of the categories you can access at SchoolhouseTeachers.com. Here is a complete list of the main categories ~ Schoolhouse Teachers, Schoolhouse Dailies, Schoolhouse Extras, Schoolhouse Libraries, Schoolhouse Site Tour, and Schoolhouse Samples. These are listed at the top of the webpage, and have drop down menus that reveal all the content within each category. And trust me, there is a whole lot of content! Subjects like history, geography, home economics, monthly reading lists, chemistry, high school math, lapbooking, art lessons, grammar, music, can be found at SchoolhouseTeachers. There is even a new ebook available every month! And all the back issues of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine digital edition are at the website too. I found that I can quickly read an article or two from the magazine while my students work on an assignment. It's a terrific way to be encouraged in my day to day life as a homeschool mom!


Now the really huge feature that is available via SchoolhouseTeachers.com is the top-notch, fully customizable 2012-2013 planners. These are the neatest things ever! Choose from the Schoolhouse Planner, the Schoolhouse Special Learners Planner, the Schoolhouse Primary Planner, the Schoolhouse Intermediate Planner, the Schoolhouse High School Planner, or use them all! Forms, articles, calendar, planning pages, transcripts, spelling & grammar rules, Bible lists, the Periodic Table of Elements, chore charts, US Presidents, grocery lists, meal planning charts, articles, IEP pages, medical and therapy forms, task analysis, story starters, recipes, field trip reports, career ideas, community service forms, Bible memorization, and tons more can be printed off to make your own perfect planner. And of course, you can make one for each of your children. Print what you want, leave what you don't need, put it in a three-ring binder and you have a planner containing everything you need and nothing you don't!

All this is available for the amazing  price of $5.95/month. And the first month is only $1!

A Homeschool Mom's Devotional by award-winning podcaster Jan L. Burt

Colossians 4:17 tells the reader to "be sure to carry out the work the Lord gave you". How can this be applied to the enormously busy lifestyle of a homeschool mom? First of all, we must always remember that the Word of God has the answer for our every need and we can trust fully in God to use His Word to lead us, guide us, correct us, and bless us. Keeping that in mind, let's consider what this verse is saying. We are told to carry out, or complete, the work the Lord has given us. We are wives, mothers, homeschoolers. Those three BIG job descriptions come immediately to mind when I think of homeschooling mothers. Applying God's Word to our life means carrying out our work as wives, as mothers, and as homeschoolers. When I am exhausted from another long day (or long week, long month, long year, etc.) I still must honor the Lord by blessing my husband. Maybe that means having a hot meal on the table when he arrives home from work. Perhaps your husband

I Gotta Let You Know Two Very Important Things (Seriously, They Are Truly Important For You To Know...)

 First, a big --- fat --- hefty dose of encouragement for you, my wonderful homeschooling friend.  As you get ready to roll into the fall of 2020...stop for just one moment and hear what God's Word has to say to you right here, right now, on the brink of the last stretch of what has possibly been the most turn-your-whole-world-upside-down year ever.  Psalm 125:2 - As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore.   You are surrounded.  Completely & totally, that's exactly how surrounded you are.  Going into the great unknown as, say, a working mom whose children are going to be doing school online at home (or a working mom homeschooling and working from home for just the next several months, but not planning on continuing to home educate after things "normalize" again).  This is God's promise just for you as you embark upon this season of life. I really, truly believe He wants you to know that He has you surrounded

My Preferred Bible Reading Plan

We all know that reading our Bibles is a key part of living a healthy life as a follower of Jesus. But busy homeschool moms may, at times, struggle to know what part of the Bible to read on any given day. Some people read the Bible through, Genesis to Revelation, and when they finish simply start over. Others have reading plans that follow along with the sermons their pastor is currently preaching. And yet others find themselves "stuck in the Psalms", since they're not quite sure what to read. I'm not going to tell you how many chapters a day you should read, or that you need to do exactly what I do. I'm just going to share what has worked for me, and hopefully encourage you to get into the Word using some type of plan ~ because every homeschool mom knows what happens to our plans when we fail to create a plan, right?! I use a prayer and Bible reading guide called "Prayer Point" , published by Samaritan's Purse. About every 8 weeks, I receive a

Schoolhouse Review Crew ~ A Thomas Jefferson Education (This Week in History)

Rachel DeMille, of Thomas Jefferson Education , promotes a fascinating educational philosophy (based on The Seven Keys of Great Teaching ). Her website, www.TJEd.org , provides a thorough explanation of this philosophy. It's also an excellent history resource that I hope my blog readers will consider using in their homeschools. I really love what Rachel is doing! I am not reviewing everything available at the website - trust me, there is quite a bit to be found there! What I am reviewing is " This Week in History ", a resource that covers a wide variety of subjects and topics on a daily basis in an engaging and interesting manner. I have used this as a part of our history curriculum, but it really is so much more than history.  Each week I receive an email with the current week's " This Week in History ". I am also able to access this information at the website, along an archive that covers the current year. And I also receive daily emails, called &q

Do You Homeschool? Then You Need to Read This Article!

Whether you have been homeschooling for a month, a year, or a decade, you've inevitably faced the "questions". Questions about socialization, college, athletics, driver's ed, high-school biology, etc. etc. etc. and so on..... It seems as if homeschoolers are ripe for questions from day one; but the flip side seems to be that there really is no flip side. We are expected to patiently answer any and all questions, smiling politely and pretending we've never heard this line of questioning before. But when we try to ask a few questions about, say, public schools as a whole or the issue of private schools being used as a last-ditch landing spot for students expelled from public school, well...ahem...we're pretty much told to keep quiet. No one wants to hear our questions, and often times no one really wants to hear our answers to their questions. They just kind of want us to....go....away. I'm not planning on going away any time soon. And neither are my fiv
