Interesting free curriculum

HoneschoolCharlotte from FB posted a link to Pathways today.  I took a peek and I just might use some of their curriculum for my kids.

Pathways is a site that organizes free webcontent for different topics.  The have full years worth of lesson plans for math, science language arts and history.

In their words: "Lesson Pathways is a FREE online educational resource for grades K-5. It contains high-quality, pre-screened online units (Pathways) that are designed to serve as either a full curriculum or as a supplement to your existing lesson plans."


I looked at a few of the language arts sections.  Writing is one area I really think my kids don't get enough practice in.  Of course I waffle between 'relax they will get it when they want' and forcing them to focus on what I think the world calls important.

Today I am in a 'you must learn to write' mood.  So I decided to borrow the book from the library for Princess' year and see how the week goes.  I tried to do the same for Dude, but the library doesn't have the first few books, so I skipped down to 'The Lion the witch and the wardrobe' I have that one myself.

I also decided to try the program for pre-K language arts for Baby Girl, she is constantly pestering me for work of her own, I get tired of hunting around random sites to find any.


Little Man is another kid I have trouble finding work for.  I really don't want to pay for a full program, and I don't want him to feel he can't have any work.  S0 I might check out the math and language arts for him as well.
