http://allinonehomeschool.wordpress.com/ Completely free homeschool curriculum from preK through high school.

ETA a quote from the website:

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Interesting! I'm fascinated that someone took the time to find all those things and organize ALL those lessons.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

i saw this posted somewhere recently, but have not looked in depth... i would love to click through and look at the contend

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Its so wonderful all the time she has taken to do all of these grade levels.Started my 8th grader off with it this yr while waiting for some ordered curricula to come.It was good but we had some other things that just were a better fit for our eclectic style.Would be good for someone who doesnt want to figure out what to use and wants to cover all bases.Often you can choose from several different things for math or LA

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Someone from my homeschool support group shared the site. She uses it as her main curriculum. While I won't be using it as our main curriculum, I think that I'll be referring to it as one of my resources next year. She definitely put a lot of time and energy into it.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Wow!! She did an amazing job!! Definitely saving that link!

Just looked through the first 60 days of preschool (we'll be starting this fall) and it looks really well done. Plenty of free online resources (YouTube videos from sesame street's day of the week, that kind of thing -- not worksheets which I wouldn't like), well organized, not overwhelming (looks like it'd take max 30min for age 3-4, with some additional optional craft projects). Thanks for the link!

This just might be an answer to prayer.... thanks for the link! :kiss

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

My dd1 (7th) is primarily using this for school right now but not entirely (she does a few additional subjects). We like it :yes I really like how they lay out the middle school math plan for Khan. FINALLY, a really good plan for attacking Khan since we use that as well.

I think we've been using it a few months :think We switched last fall sometime so maybe 4 months?

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I debated using this this year. I am thinking that it might be a good way to go for my soon to be 10 yo, because he really does best with computer learning, even though I have tried so many other things and fought it every step of the way.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Just wanted to share that I started using this for my 4 year old and 6 year old after the OP posted it.....

and after maybe 4 days of lessons for my 6 year old, he's reading a few words! I skipped ahead on "getting started 1" to where it adds in actual reading instead of just letters/letter sounds, and he picked right up on it. He's ahead in math, so we're still trying to figure out where he is on this curriculum, but he was flat out NOT reading before, so this is awesome!

My 4 year old DD loves that she has "school" to do too :heart It takes maybe 10 minutes per day for her (I'm not doing the printables yet because we need ink in our printer :doh)

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I've been doing getting ready 1 with Sunshine. I'm wondering if it's enough to just do this and nothing else. Right now, it's between this and free online public school.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I'm doing this w/ Peanut (will be 5 in June) now, and I just add in some reading aloud (right now we're reading one of the Littles books) and she helps me cook/bake/etc.... I think it's enough.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Since I decided not to send dd1 to virtual school, I am thinking about sticking with this next year. Although, I have to pray on it because dd1 may be ready for high school math next year and I want to add a foreign language.

BUT my dd1 is VERY into being on the computer for her school work .

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

:rockonI am excited to check this out:)

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

It is even better because there are usually several options to choose from

Jodi she includes foreign language links

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

So far, we haven't successfully used those :think. I looked through the spanish but it doesn't seem to have "voice" at all just written/reading. AM I missing something?? I'd love info if you have tried that ;) I am considering Rosetta Stone Spanish for next year but just can't decide :think

So far, DD1 is doing EVERYTHING on easy peasy (math = khan option) plus
*computer science (Khan high school level)
*typing
*family devotions/read alouds (living history/science)
*extra curriculars

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I think we will be sticking with this for next year. Dh and I just looked at some of our free options and this seems the easiest to use and well planned. :)

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Wow! This is wonderful!

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Have a look at babble.com and also livemocha.com some of it is free

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Too funny that I had just registered myself with livemocha about 5 minutes before seeing your response :rockon

She is going to try livemocha starting monday :)

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

My concern about it was that after registered got emails from saying so and so wanted to be friend and chat access.But those emails come to me and evidently cant happen without saying ok so think it is alright.I like the way it it is laid out in steps first listening then the other ones.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I got an email today that Rosetta Stone and LiveMocha are merging. Might be interesting to see what happens there.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

We just discovered it and love all the fun song links. What an amazing amount of organization! We will def. be using this as a part of our K year next fall, but right now we are just casually doing the getting ready stuff. Even my DS (2) has been singing the A song. So cute-and EASY for me!!

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

We are enjoying the site. Great option for when the twins come. Sooo easy for the kids to do without me.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

its what i use for my oldest's art and music

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

So we're really getting into a good groove w/ this.... I do "getting started 1" w/ everyone (but it's mostly for DD), they all get to practice writing the letter for that week on our Paint program on the computer, then we do our 5 in a Row for that day.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

wow, thanks! :)

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I had been using Easy Peasy to help save #4 with learning to read. He loved it at first but after a month said he hated it and asked to go back to w h at we had been doing. (Which was taking words from books he wanted to read and learning them through games which I made up. It's more work for me but works the best for ds.)

Do you know why he ended up hating it (like structure of it, having a set amount to do, etc.)?

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

He said that she talked like he was dumb. :shrug3. He also said he wanted to read real books.

ETA, I went to do a Lesson with him today to see if he still felt that way but when I clicked on the link to her video the site was blocked and I got this message, " This site was categorized in: File storage, Pornography" I wonder if someone hacked her site. Does anyone else get that message when trying to view the reading videos?
Here's the link to the reading curriculum. You have to click on "your words" for the reading video.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

Hmmm....just worked fine for me.

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I've been reading thru this site and am really impressed. I am thinking of using at least some of the extra lessons with my boys - I tried creating a whole series of lessons for my own kids. Only got 10 weeks done and it was brutally time consuming and hardwork! lol. I'm just not sure the reading books are our style - will have to think about it more. I think this looks like a terrific resource!

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

I had looked at this site before and just blew it off - I don't know why, though. :think I think part of it was just not wanting to be so tied to the computer (was still burnt out on k12 at that point).

A couple of days ago, I decided to look at it again and I was able to see it through a totally different lens. :rockon I think this is going to be so helpful this year for my DS1 and DD. I'm piecing together all of their stuff anyway and I get kind of overwhelmed with doing all the searching for stuff, and organizing everything, then trying to make it flow :crazy I appreciate the work that this mom has done so much! My DS1 is loooooving all the math games and I never would have found all this stuff on my own. I love how gentle and easy it all seems, and not loaded down with worksheets so far. :rockon


Oh, foreign language peeps, have y'all checked out Duolingo yet? I found it recommended on the EP site and I'm loving it.

Another good practice fun foreign lang site is www.digitaldialects.com

Re: Easy Peasy - All in One Homeschool
 

We joined a new co-op this year (new to us, and also brand new, just started!) and I have been so out of touch with all the neat tips and tricks that homeschooling parents find (we've been on our own for a few years). A mom shared this site with me, and since my daughter (16) just withdrew from public school, I gave this site a try and it's so great! We cannot afford much right now, so I found history/geography and literature/composition for her to do at home. We started today and it went so smoothly! I am so happy to have found it!

:cup
Interested in trying it out!

I like hearing it works for older kids! We just do it for fun when I run out of ideas to do with my 3yo right now, but maybe I'll look into continuing when we start with "real" homeschool

We've been using the McGuffey Primer lessons for DS6 who has been balking at reading. It works better for him than the ETC and Bob Books we were using before--I think he likes it because it takes me out of the equation except when he reads the lessons. :shifty P plays the math games sometimes, but we are using MEP as our main math program.
