If you’ve been on the blog awhile, you have probably hear me talk about Teachers Pay Teachers! I have used this incredible resource site for everything from my (former) public school classroom, to managing my home, to planning my kids’ birthday parties, to supplementing our homeschool!

• Maybe you read about how Teachers Pay Teachers changed my homeschool
• Perhaps you browsed this post, detailing why it’s the homeschool hack every mom needs!
• Maybe you have seen some of the freebies I created for busy homeschool moms, including these Board Game Templates for creative kids, Instagram-Safety Worksheet for preteens & tens, Co-Op teaching tips for moms new to co-op, or summer Fishing Log for your outdoor adventurers! (Other products also available on my TPT storefront, here).

If you’re new to Teachers Pay Teachers, here’s the deal: it is a website I discovered about 12 years ago, while I was still teaching in the public schools.

It is a website full of original teaching resources, created by teachers, for teachers! There is also a huge assortment of resources for other niches, like specialists (music, art, PE, gifted/talented, ELL), homeschoolers, special education, social-emotional learning, speech-language pathology, and many more.

Free Resources for Homeschool

Below are some of my favorite FREE resources from Teachers Pay Teachers, that I have downloaded in the past few years, completely free:

• Parts of Speech posters: these free colorful posters are perfect for my upcoming co-op class this fall! I will be teaching Creative Writing to 3rd-4th graders. These will double as an awesome schoolroom posters for my own homeschool, as I do creative writing projects with my own kids, this school year.
• This free tracing font allows me to create custom worksheets for my son, who is entering kindergarten this fall.
• This free Spanish librito for letter A is the perfect introduction to kindergarten Spanish, which I will be starting in fall with my son using Llamitas Preschool Curriculum.
• I used this free measurement worksheet for my Mini Mathematicians Co-Op class this past year, for PK-Kindergarten students. My son loves to measure things around the house, so I can easily reuse this as a rainy-day activity this summer, for him.
• As a teacher, I love a good Venn Diagram! This is reusable for any subject. I use it a lot when I do essays with my kids!
• This adorable Sink or Float experiment worksheet was perfect for my son’s birthday party! He wanted an experiment-themed party, and he loves doing “Sink or Float,” so I popped into the TPT search to see if I could find a free option. This worked beautifully.
• These Arctic word vocabulary cards were gorgeous for our unit on The Very Last First Time, through Five In A Row! I printed them off in full color at the library, laminated them, and have used them now two years in a row!
• This Spanish Memory Game for spring is extremely cute!
• This Five Senses graphic organizer is great for early elementary. I used these at my son’s experiment-themed birthday party, as well!
• When I saw these full-color 2D & 3D shape posters and saw they were free, I couldn’t believe it! I printed them out, laminated them, and used them in my Co-Op Math Class for PK-Kinder. Now that that class is done, I use them in my own homeschool! What a great freebie!
• I used this Opinion Writing Graphic Organizer multiple times this past year, in our writing lessons.
• For Anatomy, this worksheet and this worksheet were great freebies to supplement our chapter on the skeletal system.

Phewf! I will have to do another post of freebies, because that was only a portion of them! Over the years I have accumulated so many incredible games, graphic organizers, and worksheets to give my lessons a little boost. I will create another post with even more links to check out.

Who knows-maybe they could be of use to you, too! If you haven’t checked out TPT already, definitely do so. I can almost guarantee they’ll have a resource that targets your learners’ needs!

With love,
