Homeschool Share - unit studies, unit study helps, FIAR resources, lapbooking

  Wonderful, Fabulous FREE Lapbooks to download and keep. You must check out this site. They are always adding to their lapbooks as they teach their own kids and a co-op of kids. 

Internet Archive Lots of free books and some movies to download. I use a lot of stuff from here for our homeschool. The books can be downloaded as various types of word files like : Read Online, PDF B/W PDF (takes up less room on your computer when it is black and white), EPUB, Kindle, Daisy, Full Text (txt file), DjVu and perhaps other options. I usually do PDF. I would do Kindle if I had a reader but I don't. Some books also have an audio copy on file on the website.

Squidoo - Loads of free stuff on lenses by all sorts of people. Here is a quote from the website showing what Squidoo and lenses are.

"Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create "lenses" online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest--and snap it all into focus. Like the lens of a camera, your perspective on something. As of February 2010 Squidoo has well over 1,400,000 hand built lenses."

 Some of my favorite lenses: How to Plan a Lapbook by Jimmie, Joyful Pamela's Lenses (lots of music stuff)

Sunflower Schoolhouse
There are over 100 files there for free download as pdf's and she keeps adding to it. Go over and have a look.
