Answer: Language arts websites
1. Education.com – The link will point you directly to building sentences worksheets. Education.com offers free resources for other subjects, as well, so this is a site that you’ll see again in my free homeschooling resources posts. You will need to sign up with Education.com in order to download the free worksheets.
2. School Express – School Express has lots of free worksheets, again on various subjects. The worksheet are colorful and appealing to children. I’ve printed many worksheets from this site to supplement language arts lessons.
3. Grammar Girl – Still confused about whom vs who? If you want to check your grammar facts before teaching them to your children, Grammar Girl is your best friend. Housed on the Quick and Dirty Tips website, Grammar Girl offers articles and a podcast to enrich your grammar knowledge.
4. Mr. Nussbaum – This website is fun, fun, fun! If your kiddos learn well by playing (like most kiddos do!) you need to check out Mr. Nussbaum. The language arts games here teach spelling, typing, grammar and more. This is one of the best play-and-learn websites around.
5. Fun Brain – I know you’ve probably already heard of Fun Brain. It’s one of the most popular of the free education sites, but it deserves a mention on my first go-around of free homeschooling resources. Fun Brain offers a lot of language arts (and other subjects) games. If you’ve never used it or it’s been a while, go give it a look-see!
Dan George was born in a tribal family where he got the name Geswanouth Slahoot. He had to change his name to George when he entered a missionary boarding school at the age of five. Also, the use of his native language was prohibited there. Apart from being a notable actor, he was a poet too. While giving a speech, he recited his own poem among his people. He emphasized the impact of colonialism and its effect on the society and in politics. He was also an environmentalist, spiritual healer who promoted traditional values and a spokesperson for the natives. He inspired many Indigenous leaders to come out of the shadows of past and move forward for a better future. He even pointed out the low number of native children getting government aids for their education and development. He helped in creating awareness among his people to know about their rights and fight for it. It was only because of his education and career that he realized the rights of the natives which would help in improving the condition of his people.
