Throughout our homeschooling journey I have run
across several products or websites which have made the process easier or
more enjoyable. We hope that you will find these general resources to be useful also.
Little Giant Steps
“Empowering children to achieve their God-given potential.”
Little Giant Steps helps all children by improving their ability to
learn more efficiently by using neurological methodologies.

produced instructional materials you can download and print. Lesson

Hold that Thought
Timelines – history and Bible events/characters.
You do not even have to hang them on the wall! All of the timelines and
copywork pages come in CD format and you print what you need.

VegSource (although a vegetarian website,
the homeschool board is not related)
Individuals selling new and used curriculum. Many
people post every day so it can get overwhelming if you do not know what
you are looking for. Better to have something in mind and then just scan
the subject lines of the posts for what you need. “For Sale” posts are
divided by grade level from Pre-K to College.

Math U See
From the website: “Math·U·See's goal is to
help produce confident problem solvers who enjoy the study of math. The
reason we study math is so we can apply what we learn in everyday
situations. The students learn their math facts, rules, and formulas,
and are able to use this knowledge in real life applications. The study
of math is much more than committing a list of facts to memory. It
includes memorization, but it also encompasses learning the concepts
that are critical to problem solving.”
From Terri @ Hands on Homeschooling – We
personally used MUS for the oldest daughter from kindergarten through 2nd
grade. Using the older curriculum which came 3 years in 1 book she did
really well. The MUS method allowed my daughter to watch the short video
clip for each lesson with me, go through the information in the
Teacher’s Edition with me, work through the concepts with the MUS
manipulative blocks and then finally get to the workbook. Following this
“See, Do, Write” method worked for our daughter and she had a good
understanding of the basic math concepts.

Singapore Math (we used the US
edition)
They offer more than mathematics, but we have only
personally used the math. Our oldest daughter began using Singapore in 3rd
grade and the middle child began in 1st (where she is now).
Each child uses a textbook to discover and figure out the concepts and
then the workbook to show they understand the concepts.
