HOMESCHOOL 101 – CURRICULUM RESOURCE LIST
~Compiled by De’Etta Goecker (with the help of 1700 cyber friends on SHS)~Please note that neither I nor SACSHA are endorsing any specific company. This list is meantto provide a variety of resources for you to investigate, as you prayerfully consider your child’slearning style, your educational philosophy, and the theological bent of your family. I have hadpersonal experience with many of these products (that happens when you homeschool“forever”). I’m available (as are others) if you would like to have discussions about some of these options. Keep in mind that this list is NOT comprehensive. De’Etta

Google.com
 – great for finding images for lapbooks, websites for any topic under the sun, math drills,worksheets, graphic organizers – set strict settings to avoid undesirable links
Online Support lists –
Many companies have their OWN online forums…check at the websites above if you are interested.
 Yahoo homeschool groups
– you can go tohttp://groups.yahoo.com/,type in your specific curriculum and find groups that discuss how to implement your curriculum. There are also lists that offer generalhomeschool support. Just a FEW examples:TOGLoose Threads -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TOGLooseThreads/Charlotte Mason -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CMcurricula/Math U See -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mus-users/Abeka -http://groups.yahoo.com/group/1-WeTeachAbeka/Support4HomeSchool@yahoogroups.com  – General Homeschooling list of over 1900 members, begun10 years ago. I co-own this list. Many find the ease of support and diversity of opinions offered on listssuch as this to be beneficial….Though some argue that chocolate, childbirth, crafts, and crunchy dietsdon’t have much to do with homeschool, we maintain if it supports you in your mission of Home or School,it’s on topic. High volume list.
