I'm excited to be starting something new on my blog this year. I have been accepted as a member of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew! The Old Schoolhouse is a quarterly homeschool magazine that started in 2001. It's available in print, online, or mobile app.
For my first review, we got to sample SchoolhouseTeachers.com Yearly Membership. I admit, at first I wasn't thrilled. I prefer our children to spend more time outside than in front of a screen. They learn computer skills so incredibly fast, I don't feel a need at all for them to spend much time on it at all. |
After investigating SchoolhouseTeachers.com I started to get excited. A lot of the stuff available is printable, not just online classes. You can print lessons and worksheets. This really ended up being a nice change with everything going on since my mother's passing. God definitely knows what He's doing! (I was able to share my acceptance into the Crew with her before she passed and she was very excited for me. She knew this was one of my goals for my blog.)
My favorite part is “Everyday Games”:
My favorite part is “Everyday Games”:
Brought to you by Teresa Evans, a veteran classroom teacher in Australia, Everyday Games is a fun and interesting way to teach math and phonics. Her math games will help your student improve without realizing he is really “doing math.” The reading games practice many skills, such as consonant blends, suffixes, prefixes, compound words, and much more. One of the best ways to encourage your student to learn is by helping them have fun, and you can do that with Everyday Games.
The best part for me is the “Go to today’s game!" link. Something different is available each day. The two youngest had fun with a dice game. I actually gave them two different pages for the different levels they are and had them play it like Bingo, with dice instead of Bingo numbers. Each number on the die has a list of unfinished words they have to come up with a letter or blend to finish. Once they got all the words in one number line, they won a line. They really enjoyed it and even helped each other come up with words. They kept track of which line each won but they both won some, so it was awesome to see them work together with a competitive fun that didn't go overboard. It didn't take a lot of time for me. The older children would even stop as they walked by the table and help give hints. All we had to do was print out a few pages and find the dice. Everyday Games was definitely a hit with our family!
Our oldest boy's favorite part is the Computer & Technology section. He has been reading the “Internet Entrepreneurship for Teens”. I was thrilled to see some comprehensive High School Courses like this!
The children are also thoroughly enjoying the Media Library.

A gateway to more than 10,000 video resources for you and your family. The media library includes resources for all ages, from VeggieTales, Adventures in Odyssey, 3-2-1 Penguins, and What’s In the Bible for kids to Bible studies by Francis Chan, John MacArthur, Dave Ramsey, and John Maxwell for adults. It also includes academic content that you’ll find described below. It is a streaming video site, and there is no limit to the number of videos you can enjoy. Most videos are available worldwide (a very small number have geographic restrictions).
This is free with an active membership to SchoolhouseTeachers.com! It was so nice to have a list of videos at our fingertips that I didn't feel like I needed to sift through and find reviews for or pre-watch... I felt I could safely give the children full access to this site. They love it! (It does stream over the internet so you do need good service. I'm soooo thankful our fiber-optics is in!)
I wouldn't have believed all that is available in this one online subscription. Through SchoolhouseTeachers.com, we could educate children from pre-K through High School without additional textbooks. The subjects include (but definitely not limited to):
