Great I will check this out. With our co-op we need all of the breaks we can get.

Any home educating is homeschooling to me. I hope that they add more to their site for older kids. My kids love this. I even have the workbooks printed out in a big binder. I am going to create paper games to and crafts to go along with this site in the near future.
Thanks everyone.

For those of you who homeschool middle school or high school students or those parents who are in college this link to video lectures is a great one.http://www.learnerstv.com/subjects.php check it out!

Thanks for the link Daddude.
Well the verison of the Bible it up to the parents, there are many version, names, religions that have their own Bible so that is up to the individual but I can tell you that we use the KJV, but the kids versions of this has been out of print, however, there are the NKJV that has a great Bible for kids, teens, and pre-adults that targets just that age. There is also a book published that I got from Dollar General store about the Bible. It has tons of great resources and great content about what is in the Bible.
As far as reading the Bible, we just read the scriptures then we read a story to go with the scriptures, or also we have purchased Nest Entertainment curricula on video on the entire Bible for Kids thats ia animated but looks like real life.
My 4 and 3 year olds understand the basic details of the content just fine by just reading the scriptures and then telling a story. We use tons of free resources as well like www.dtlk.com/bible and daneillesplace.com and many others.
If you think that just reading the Bible to your children is a waste of time, it isn't. It does pay off. I have a few children at 7 can recite and tell you what the scriptures mean in paraphrase and tell you where they are located in the Bible, and show you. However, i do have some that doesn't do that well so I use worksheets and visuals to reinforce the story, show a video, etc. to help that child understand. Using visuals, posters, story cards, videos, flannel boards, etc. does tremendous. We even use flashcards for 6 months old of the Bible characters.
A good curriculum that I use is www.hubbardscupboard.org and I have created curriculum in another post free to download, and there is another post with Bible resources from many members.

For those that are interested in sample curricula here is a piece of a sample to download, however you need the AZZ cardfile program that is free to open it. If you like any of it please leave a reply. I am trying to get an entire year of each grade level, however, remember that when we create these it is based on a certain child's ability and may not be what you are looking for or need or based on the correct state standards, but anyway here is a piece of a sample for 2 year olds.

This link is just a resource for those who may be reading to their children. We too use several curriculum resources for others or us to modify or fit into their ideal preception or believe and or educational level. However, I will say that that I have 7 year olds who understands and reads the Bible and understand the Bible maybe not Bible history or the actually original vocabulary but the actual content better than most adults that I have had the pleasure to meet. If they don't know a word they look it up in a Bible dictionary or I teach them a synonym to the vocabulary, after all my main goal is modifying the content for the child. I leave the heavy stuff for the older kids (teens) as you mentioned, however, I am going to leave this discussion alone.........
I am glad for the honest replies regarding this link.

The AZZ cardfile has to be opened with the free download of the AZZ cardfile system via online.


I will post more for everyone as requested. I have tons of resources and plans (scopes and sequences) but basically I developed these for individual children's needs, so they may not fit into your needs or curricula views. We offer a wide range of content so that the child's interests and or weaknesses can be addressed. I will do my best to upload more samples as time goes on. They may or may not be the content for a specific grade level but the level of the child's ability and it may be a mix of grade levels, however, I do hope in the future to start creating a basic standard curriculum samples for each grade level.
For example one child may be at 3rd grade reading level but 1st grade math level, etc. so I create curricula based on the levels of the child. The child according to age needs to be in the 3rd grade so in the program I will include everything that the child needs to get caught up according to our state standards to reach the expected goals of a 3rd grader.

We have toddler to 12th grade samples availalbe in different formats, like AZZ card file. We find that this program is the easiest to operate. If you are having trouble then visit the website for the AZZ cardfile program, there is a help page on there.

I have uploaded one for 3rd grade however, it was based on the child's needs.
Thanks everyone.

If you know your child's levels and wish a sample curricula say like; LA-1st, Math-2nd, Science-4th and the grade that their age states that should be in or is in then I can create a sample from that for you, or if you wish a basic sample of a certain grade as you stated below then I can do that as well.

We have just now intergrated LR to the program as well for many grade levels.

what curriculum are you using this year?
have any ideas on curriculum choices this year?
are you willing to share some of your internet curriculum choices?

I hope that we can start sharing ideas on curriculum, and actually share samples of our schedules or scope and sequence, or even some of the content, or other materials that have been creatd, made, copied, or modified to help those who may be struggling with gettin git all together this year.

Our co-op uses many but here is a few,

Jump Start
and tons more.................................

anyone having trouble with getting their curricula up and going? well here on Brillkids there are tons of resources, including the link library and soon I hope the homeschool link library. If anyone needs a little jumpstart to get the year off in a good start I have a few sample months of curricula that is on the azz cardfile program that I would be glad to share? so let me know what grade level you may be needing and the interests of your child and we can go from there for me to send you a free monthly sample via Brillkids.

if u need any help let me know. I specialize in creating curricula based on the child's interests and or abilities. I am busy right now preparing this school year for 8 children of all ages and it is going well. If anyone is interested I have a curriculum set up for a 7th-8th grader and 2-3rd grader in the azz cardfile system. I would be glad to share a few months to get anyone interested started in the sample curricula.

this is an azz cardfile, it is a curricula based on a child's interests and assessment scores. This is just a sample so if you are interested in recieving more like this PM me for more info. you have to download azz cardfile free program first from www.azzcardfile.com

Even though it is 20.00 a month it looks great and it has K-12 grades, a complete curriucula with planner and schedule, so try the 7 day trial and see what u think? I ma doing that now. I hope to use this with my co-op this year. http://www.hlnfamily.com Has anyone else tried this before? If so let me know how that it worked out for you. It kind of reminds me of lessonpathways which we love and everythingforhomeschooling as well. If you have multiple children or a co-op then it would be perfect, even if some of us went into together to pay the year subscription and used the login info it would be worth it, and just remember to save everything on an external hard drive or flash drive to keep for future use.

Thanks everyone. My kids love this and it is even better when it is on the projector being diplayed on the wall. My 4 year old and 3 year old have set here for almost an hour interacting with this site. i love how that it has so many worksheets to go with it as well. I plan on using this to teach spanish to my highschoolers as well. it seems to fit right in with our curricula.

http://onlinefreespanish.com  has great resources and teaching for spanish. It has activities, games, and printables to go along with the teaching all FREE> I plan on switching to this website to teach spanish to the co-op. My Lo's set here for 30 minutes learning Spanish just today and now comes the worksheets.

www.aslpro.com has great videos and even has worksheets to print. My LO's love this. i plan on teaching via webinar to my co-op.
