Had to share

I just thought I would take a moment to share. I have found a website that I can not live with out. It is www.edhelper.com When I started looking for resources for home school this site was recommended to me. At first I just looked at it and moved on. I have now come to appreciate the full value of this site.

My biggest fear when starting home school was that I would miss some major concept for reading or something dumb like that. Once I bought the curriculum for Princess G that fear was gone, thankfully. As we started doing school I realized that my biggest problem was keeping Sunshine busy. Edhelper has been our answer. I have been able to make coloring sheets, writing practice, and any thing else I need for her. To have full access to the website it is $20.00 a year. Trust me after everything I have seen out there this is so cheep. As I have surfed this site I have found even more value. I have been able to make activities for Princess G that go along with her lessons, and I have been able to make some worksheets for Little Man who is not doing as well in Math as we would like. (He is an amazing reader and has focused all of his time there, so his math has suffered) I am so excited to help him get caught up with the work I have found on edhelper. I just thought I would share in case anyone has a child who needs a little extra work, or for preschool aged children who need to be kept busy. Check it out and enjoy.

Just a idea for you...
- Sunshine is learning her letters by sight and sound. She also enjoys tracing them in a work book I had for her. However she was not ready to try to write her letters on her own. I was able to make pages that are just tracing the letters. So I printed them, then I laminated them, one letter in the front another on the back. She can trace the letters with a crayon or dry erase marker. I can wipe it off, and she can do it again. Everyone is happy.

I used edhelper when I was teaching in an elementary school. Glad things are going well.
