SchoolhouseTeachers.com Review

SchoolhouseTeachers.com is an awesome online resource associated with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.  There are daily, weekly and monthly *complete* lesson plans, ideas and materials in many different subject areas from pre-K through high school.


Since my oldest is studying Chemistry this year, I was drawn to the Chemistry lesson plans written by Joey Hajda of Friendly Chemistry.  My son was SO engaged and interested.  What a difference these materials have made in having him look forward to a subject that can be dry and boring.  He is eager and enthusiastic now about a subject that he dreaded just a couple of weeks ago!  :-)




Kiddos 3 and 4 are studying Zoology this year and love lapbooking.  SchoolhouseTeachers.com has an entire lapbooking section with all of the information and templates that are needed to make them in a variety of subject areas.  The kiddos saw that there was one on rhinos, and since we just read about them in their science book, they were excited to get started!


The wonderful thing is that even the lapbook lessons are broken down into weeks, so the child is not overwhelmed with the entire assignment in front of them at once.  They are working on a rhino a day, lol, and loving it!  :-)

It is difficult to do such an amazing collection of resources justice.  If you are interested, there is a video tour that you can access here and sample pages here.  Membership costs $5.95 a month with the first month costing only $1.  Having all of these great ideas, resources and lessons will make curriculum "shopping" a breeze and certainly less expensive!  :-) With SchoolhouseTeachers.com, everything you could possibly want or need is right at your fingertips, with new lessons being added everyday.
