Super Teacher Worksheets

We're officially into our second month of homeschooling, and, while I'm actually very happy with all the curriculum pieces I have for both girls, there are times when I realize that I need to supplement certain topics with additional practice worksheets. I've become a big fan of trolling the internet for people who are more design minded than I am, and when I discover a big site, and get the option to review it, all the better! With the Individual Membership, Super Teacher Worksheets makes it easy to add supplemental worksheets for anything you can think of!

The past two years, I've done a lot of individual worksheet purchasing and downloading. You get a preview of course, but sometimes the worksheet works, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, even the dollar you paid seems like a lot. It also can get overwhelming, hard to track, This year, I was bound and determined to stick with our curriculum that I researched. I wouldn't nickle and dime my way into issues, and I could stay focused and not overwhelm the girls.

Then, as usual, I ate my words. Almost immediately, really.

First, Reagan, as a kindergarten student, has less "work" than Madison, as a second grader, does. This shouldn't be a problem (and generally, it isn't). However, when we take our school on the road, I end up with one child moaning that this isn't fair that she's not done, and the other climbing all over me, looking for entertainment. So within a few days, I was searching for fun stuff that could keep her occupied without overwhelming her. Color by number fit that bill, and it's nice to have them at my disposal!


Reagan knows her numbers and colors, so it doesn't feel like more "work" for her. However, she's getting the fine motor practice of having to keep (at least somewhat) in the lines, and she's getting reinforcement and reading skills.



What I love about this site is that I can browse when I have time, and save worksheets to my filing cabinet. When I want them, they're easy to find again. This has been an issue for me. I find something perfect when I'm browsing, I save the link, but then it ends up in a black hole and I can't remember where I found it or where I saved it (Facebook? Pinterest?) Having a filing cabinet that sorts by date, subject, topic and title is helpful for my overloaded brain! The only thing that would make it better is the ability to sort by grade level as well (or to let me create folders so I could have one for each girl).



Madison has generally been doing well with her curriculum, but there are times when I realize that a little more practice wouldn't hurt. She's been working on time, and she's getting it, but she needs some reinforcement, especially now that her time focused chapter is over, and she's only getting little snippets for review.



Blank spelling pages for writing lists. Maps. Science concepts. Grammar skills. Handwriting. Literature units. If you need it, it's there. And if you, for some reason, can't find it, you can create it with the worksheet generator.
