{ with eager hands }: Schoolhouse Review Crew

As a part of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I was able to gain access to a new resource for homeschoolers, SchoolhouseTeachers.com and what a resource it is!

SchoolhouseTeachers.com is a subscription based site (pay by the month- $5.95 or by the year-$64.96). And you can try it for the first month for just $1! A buck!

For that cost, you get:

access to The Old Schoolhouse digital magazines, plus back issues
e-books, once a month
all the planners you can fathom (which is what I am going to talk about)
lesson plans on anything you can imagine
and more!

I ~~played~~ worked with a variety of different options on the website.

I love calendars, list-making and whoo boy, did this website come through! As a part of your subscription, you have FULL ACCESS to ALL TOS planners!! For you, for special needs learners, primary grades, intermediate grades, high school ages!

What’s more, these TOS planners aren’t *just* homeschool planners…..they have HOUSEHOLD forms for your home binder! Yes, it’s true! I didn’t use the homeschool materials, but the link at the bottom of this review will offer you many other Review Crew members who did – check it out!

Schoolhouse Planner (for the Mamas and the Papas)

These pages are editable pdf files, so you can type in permanent things prior to printing. The editable spaces are blue, but they print clear.

Of course, there is a whole passle of homeschool files that you can access that hit everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that you can possibly need to document:

Unit Study, Notebooking
Field Trips, Scheduling
High School, Evaluations

Plus, you will have at your fingertips:

Must Know, List of Lists
Curriculum Library, Course of Study, many articles

You can click on the link at the bottom of this review to see how other Schoolhouse Review Crew members used this resource!
