Pingback: Best Free Homeschool Resource List | Our Mountain Homeschool Blog
Thanks for compiling such a great list! Would you mind if I link to it on my blog?
Link away! I’ve found some awesome new resources too, so I am working on updating it with even more links. Glad you found it helpful!
http://www.lessonpathways.com is a free comprehensive lesson plan site that is designed for K-5 students. It divides the lessons into 36 weeks, 1 week on each unit (5 days) but you can pick and choose what you want, from an individual unit to only a select activity. For each subject there is a guided journey for each grade. Within the guided journey there are pathways (units), and each pathway is comprised of stepping stones (individual activity). This can be used as a supplement to your current curriculum, or it can be used as your primary curriculum. And best of all, its COMPLETELY free. If you register you can also create a profile with your child(ren)’s names and assign various guided journeys, pathways, or stepping stones. I hope this helps another homeschooling parent out as much as it has me!
