I feel that in the milwaukee public schools that my kids are not being mentally challenged enough, i would like to find printable assignments for my children to learn from. Please suggest some sites with real assignments for them, all teachers are welcome to leave information.

Answer 1

You have had a few excellent answers.  I like the enchanted learning site.  You will have to pay $20 to join to get full use of the site, but it is very good.  Best of luck with it.

Answer 2

Here are a few websites (There are a TON of them out there) that have printable worksheets for your kids to do...

www.writingstrands.com

www.homeschoolenrichment.com

www.easyhomeschooling.com

www.funeducation.com

www.understandingwriting.com

www.abeka.com

The following list has links on their sites to info about homeschooling:

www.aboverubies.org

www.nogreaterjoy.org

Also just typing in "free worksheets" in your search engine box will provide you with a ton of hits. To eliminate what you DON"T want, specify what subject and grade level you want also.

I recommend that you buy a binder and have the following categories in your binder(trust me , it will make things so much easier for you)

Websites

1-800 Phone numbers

Freebies we have received

Daily to Do List

General Information

I hope that this helps you to get started. Best of luck in your search!

Answer 4

Hi,

2  good sites for  printables are:

www.edhelper.com

www.enchantedlearning.com

If your children are still attending public school, please be careful not to overburden them with additional assignments .

If they are spending  6 or 7 hours in school then have homework, you want to make certain they have enough time to play and just be children.

Answer 5

These sites do require a $20.00 yearly fee to have full use of all their printable materials, but it is well worth it.

You can check them out for free, but it is a lot of curriculum in one place.
