Welcome Teacher Toolbox Fans

If you are visiting my blog from the Teacher Toolbox-Welcome! I love homeschooling and encouraging others along the way. My husband and I live in northwest GA with our three children and one dog.
Creating unusual fun unit studies and printables is one of my favorite “teacher” things to do, so hopefully you will enjoy my efforts. The Old Schoolhouse magazine is a great magazine to begin with, but now with the online addition of the Teacher Toolbox, you are in for a real treat. My children eagerly pored through my printables as I was creating them for you. Hope they will enjoy them when they actually have to do them! I am so excited to be on this team as well as on the Curiosity Files team. If you have not familiarized yourself with the Curiosity Files, take a look at them here.
Just a few of the offerings include:
  • This Day in History calendar with accompanying printables
  • Unit studies
  • Tons and tons of freebies
  • Devotionals
  • Ability to access the online versions of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
  • Menus with lots of recipes
Even as a vegetarian, I find the menu ideas interesting. I am used to substituting vegetarian products for actual meat in recipes that look yummy, so this month should be fun. Did you see the day full of desserts? Yummy!
I could not believe ALL the freebie articles and ebooks that were included. Even one of the WannaBe units is free. How can TOS give away so much for the low cost of a subscription? However they do it, I am glad.
This month my kids will be looking at the printable monthly history calendar and also doing some of the printables going along with each day. What a lot of history knowledge they will easily receive. So much work has been done to ease the homeschool parent’s workload.

  1. Hi! We've used Unit Studies in the past, but have gotten away from them. Do you use them for high school as well? We used to try to incorporate concepts across the curriculum when I worked at a Christian school. Love the idea! Visiting from the Crew...

  2. Thanks, April. Yes, we still do unit studies. It is definitely the favorite way to learn. With our move this year, we did not do the amount of unit studies, I would prefer. The Curiosity Files is something even my older ones enjoy. Also, the Movie Guides from Zeezok.
