I’m pretty much the queen of wasting time scouring the internet for this or that resource for a SINGLE lesson. I get it into my head that I just MUST have a [fill-in-the-blank] coloring sheet to go along with [whatever] lesson I’m teaching. But now, I can STOP wasting time on fruitless search engine queries (that inevitably lead to a Pinterest page with a thousand pins), and start getting into teaching my lessons with CHSH-Teach.com. We’ve found oodles of homeschool printables at the CHSH Download Club from CHSH-Teach.com!
What is the CHSH Download Club?
Just as the name states, it’s a subscription-based “club” where users have access to over fifty thousand pages of homeschool resources and materials!
The club fee ($25 annually, $99.99 Lifetime) covers the cost of hosting and managing such a large directory of resources.
Among the many resources posted for download (to Club members) are teaching resources by owner / founder and veteran teacher Lynda Ackert, who sells thousands of resources on teacher sites like TeachersPayTeachers.com and other well-known sites. With the CHSH Download Club, you have access to ALL her files for free!
Not only that, but users and members can also upload files for access among the membership. Plus, some publishers will also submit works for the Download Club to introduce users to their publications.
And new files are always being added! Maybe the next one will be by you!
On CHSH-Teach.com you’ll find things from units of study, worksheets, games, maps, reference posters, full curriculums, and more! There’s even a “Treasures from the Past” section with digital files of old-school text like the McGuffey Readers – that is pretty awesome!
Some files you can’t find anywhere else. Other files, you’d have to sign up, login, and PAY to get at a variety of websites. So the CHSH Download Club saves you time AND money!
How can I use CHSH-Teach.com in my homeschool classroom?
Sub plans – yes, even a homeschooler needs sub plans for when mom is sick, has to travel, or has an appointment. Put together an assortment of materials to cover you while you’re out.
Practice & Review – sometimes kids get through a unit or chapter, but you know they just needed a little more time on that topic. So grab some extra materials from CHSH Download Club to extend the learning. My littlest one adores tracing and cutting, so I am forever needing new materials for him – a few quick downloads and I had some extra materials that could be traced THEN cut. And, I printed a variety of workbooks for learning the alphabet: a simple finger tracing book, trace and color book, and even an American Sign Language ABC Coloring book! So many options for him!
Multiple Intelligences – every child learns differently. Some kids love to just read into a subject. But others need something more hands on. You can find various activities, experiments, and ways of expressing understanding with these downloads.
Switch up your Curriculum – Need to switch curriculum but don’t want to spend a fortune? Most subjects on CHSH-Teach.com have at least one full curriculum program uploaded. Or, browse the downloads and mix and match materials to create a year’s worth of study on a subject or topic.
Try something new! Finding a hobby or developing an interest in your children can sometimes be trial and error. But who has the time and money to spend on everything that’s out there. With the Download Club, we’re able to try out a lot of topics via worksheets and activities to see if it’s something we want to explore further. I’ve been wanting to teach my boys the piano, but wasn’t sure where to start. So when I discovered the music section, I quickly downloaded the step-by-step guide Learn to Play the Piano to try out with the boys.
Celebrate holidays! When special days roll around, it’s great to have a coloring sheet or activity to help celebrate. There’s a host of materials sorted by month for celebrations!
Rewards! – There are loads of games, activities, puzzles, mazes, and other fun printables on CHSH-Teach.com. Print out some fun items in full color to give as rewards to your kids for a job well done. I have been using printables instead of candy, cheap toys, and video time. My son adores drawing, so I printed out Airplanes and Ships You Can Draw in full color and had it spiral bound at the copy center. Now it’s ready to go when I want to surprise him with a great quality drawing book for him to use!
So you see, there’s always something you’re going to need as a homeschool teacher. The question is: Do you want to spend forever looking for it (and be disappointed when each thing you find is another fee?), or… just save time with CHSH-Teach.com where you pay one fee annually (or just one for a lifetime!). I think you know the answer to that!
What kinds of downloads are you always hunting for? CHSH-Teach.com has a ton of download FREEBIES for you to check out and see the variety that could be yours!
