19 comments:
WOW!!! Double WOW!!! What an amazingly comprehensive list!! Quite a few I've never visited...thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for all of the usefull information!!
God Bless!!
Thank YOU for taking the time to post what I'm sure represents HOURS of research...to save us all a little more time. This will take me the rest of summer to get through!
Allison, I'd love to have you add my website:
www.catholic-homeschooling-resources.com
What an incredible list you have here! Thanks and God Bless!
May I suggest adding
khanacademy.org
they have over 2000 video lessons, mostly on math and science.
MWA
You are awesome! I will share this with my local group. My 11yo was just asking for some new website he could check out.
Grateful for your comments. I did truly believe that everyone could find something here to help their school year.
Laura, I will certainly add your site.
Guess what MWA? We're in agreement and you must have missed that my #2 link is the impressive Khan Academy. See the beginning of the list.Thank you.
Keep the suggestions coming for other useful links.
thank you very much for your generosity and hard work! i printed it out and came up with 12 pages! god bless you!
I plan to print it, as well. What a great list of resources.
You are a wonderful mom, Allison.
I also like to add the following link for Religion: http://www.amazingcatechists.com/index/great-links
Thank you million times.
God Bless.
Fera
Thank you so much, Fera! And God bless you!
I gladly added the wonderful website under religion, as an update. Excellent recommendation. Thank you!
This is an awesome list! I shared it on FB :)
HI Allison!
I found this post on Jen's "Forever For Always, No Matter What" blog Facebook page and clicked on over! WOW! What a great list! I am going to link back to your post from my own blog so I can refer to it and share it with visitors to my blog! Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and helpful list! God bless! Tracy at "A Slice of Smith Life" :)
Wow! Allison. This is a fabulous list! You are right, there has never been a better time to homeschool. :-)
Would you like to include my courses websites?
www.CharlotteMasonMadeEasy.com
www.GrammarLessonsMadeEasy.com
and coming soon:
www.SuccessfulHomeschoolingMadeEasy.com
God bless,
Stephanie
Awesome! Can't thank you enough!
Any great Latin helps, for those of us plodding through first year Henle (blush).
Jennifer
Jennifer, for us, we needed the Mother of Divine Grace offering of a telephone class for Henle 1!
There's also this -
http://quizlet.com/2579116/henle-latin-1-grammar-units-1-2-flash-cards/
http://quizlet.com/subject/henle-latin/
an android app! http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.ggause.flashcard.deck.deck51/Henle-Latin-part-1
Good luck!
What an amazing and helpful list. Now that you have shared it I don't want to lose it! Do you mind if I make a copy and put it in my local homeschool group files for other families in my Catholic home school group to use when they need it? I will be sure to credit you and your blog as the source.
Let me know! The list is awesome...and I love your blog!
Mary, I would love for you to share it!
Thank you for asking.
Thank you for your wonderful list! I found this through the pinterest website (www.pinterest.com), someone posted a link there. And I'm certainly appreciative of the audiobook sites because I've been looking for them. My dad is Catholic and he just passed away a month ago so it was nice to see a Catholic homeschooling website. Made me think of him. I have a homeschool blog at http://www.homeschoolwebsites.blogspot.com that I haven't updated in a while, but it's still a good resource for homeschooling links - primarily for elementary aged kids. Thank you for all your hard work! I keep hoping to have such a resourceful list to share with others!
