CREW Review- SchoolhouseTeachers


This is a tough review.  I am just going to say it.  I have had a hard time deciding where to even start!

SchoolhouseTeachers, a brainchild of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, is an incredible website with a wealth of information, curriculum, encouragement, and on and on and on!  Seriously, every time I go to this website I either find something new or a new favorite.  Most of the time, BOTH!

I want to cover a few of the areas that have been the biggest blessing to our family, but I encourage you to jump on the site and see for yourself all of the ways to use this incredible storehouse.

Sample pages can be accessed here!

CURRICULUM-
From The Schoolhouse Dailies to the Schoolhouse Teachers tabs you will find ready to print lessons for the month, week or day and are updated continually.  Right now, we are downloading lessons each day to correspond with the Olympics.  How cool is that?  I have especially loved the dailies and used the math, art, grammar and history ones the most.  With just a click, you have a great review for your child or a new concept to teach.  The best part- these lessons are presented by some of the biggest names in homeschooling.  When you cannot afford to take complete classes from the top educators, this is a great way to get a lessons from them.  Subjects are offered to teach Kindergarten to seniors in high school.

FREE DOWN LOADABLE BOOKS-
Yes, FREE!  Each month you are able to download a free book.  I love free!  These mom favorites are a great way to keep up with new ideas, writers and concepts.  Some are very topic specific, while others just offer a wide range of information.  In addition, the longer you have a membership, the more bonus books you can access- again, for free.  LOVE IT!

PLANNERS-
This is one of the most popular parts of the site, I am convinced.  Even before our review period began, fellow CREW members were ranting about how amazing these planners were.  I now see why.  With five different choices, there is sure to be one you will love.  Or more!  Not only are they filled with calendar and scheduling pages, but also charts, checklists, book lists and more. 

So where to start?  Definitely on the site tour page.  This video will give you a good grasp of what is available and how to get started.  Trust me, otherwise you will wander the site in awe and amazement, but be totally overwhelmed.

Next, sign yourself up!  Schoolhouse Teachers is only $1.00 for the first month and $5.95 per month after that.  A great buy for all the curriculum alone, not to mention all of the fun extras!
