From lesson planners to writing utensils, everything that makes learning organized and fun!
If I don't print out my own lesson planner, I will use the Happy Planner teacher planner.

I love BJU English. You start simple and each year it becomes a little more in depth. We tried a different curriculum at the end of our last year and my kids begged to go back to BJU.
BJU Press English / Writing & Grammar
A fun way to ease your child into the world of Shakespeare.
How to Teach Your Children Shakespeare - Barnes & Noble
Several of Shakespeare's famous plays translated into short story form for younger readers.
Shakespeare for Children - Barnes & Noble
While not as good as Charles Lamb's Shakespeare but a close second. Shakespeare's plays turned short story form.
Shakespeare's Stories for Young Readers|Paperback
I'm not mathematically minded so I outsource my kids math curriculum. We previously used CTC Math, which I did like, but my kids love Teaching Textbooks more. It's more colorful and interactive with stickers and wallpaper. They even have printable math facts sheets that can help your student as they work through problems.

This book isn't considered a children's book but I read it to my kids this past summer and they LOVED it. I would read two chapters a day and they would beg for more. A cute take on The Princess Bride where the guy is kidnapped and the girl has to go on the hero's quest.

Websites that supplement our learning journey or provide resources.
This is my favorite website to buy our school books. They have the best prices and the biggest selection.

There are so many wonderful shows on PragerU Kids. There's such a variety that you can learn about history, financial responsibility and cooking in just one app. We love to watch shows from PragerU Kids during our lunch break, sick days and pretty much anytime! Our favorite is Leo & Layla.
