While we are on the subject of high school, let's talk transcripts!

Here are some great, free, transcript programs.  I have yet to choose one but I am in search of something I like

Teascript has both a free and a paid version so I am signing up to see if I like how it looks and feels.

Homeschool Tracker has a free and paid version as well.

PEAH, from whom I recently got free ID cards also has a transcript template for download.

There are a ton of templates and a lot of information to look and and download for your own here.

Donna Young is always a great place for freebies, her transcript templates are here.

There are a few paid programs that I have heard good things about as well.

Homeschool Tracker in one of the best.

Edutrack has tons of features.

High School Classes

While I had already chosen materials for this year, I came across this website mentioned on the Well Trained Mind forums and thought I would share because I intend to use some of these in the future.

UCCP Open Access has complete, free, college prep and AP classes for you available now without even registering.  I would suggest looking for the suggested texts on Amazon used or half.com.

While we are on the subject of high school, here is a listing from my Free Resources list, especially for High School.

Great New Toolbar for Homeschoolers!

The Homeschool Gadget Toolbar is my new "find".  It has tons of great features all working together to make our homeschooling life simpler.  Plus handy dandy other things like weather and internet radio.

It also has a great Google search feature, instant access to the top 100 homeschool sites and blogs and communities and more. I have just begun to explore all it's features.

You can read a great review on it here.

And you can download it and try it for yourself here!

Black Friday Sales, Christmas Freebies and More

Head on over to Currclick this Friday at 10 am for 28 freebies and great discounts on lapbooks, copywork, penmanship, holiday ebooks and more!

This year About.com has an advent study up and it is pretty cool but nothing can top my old Christmas standby, The Teaching Mom's Advent Calendar. It has not been updated for "08" yet but it is still the best resource I have ever seen for all you could possibly want in an Advent study.

A little off topic but great for those of you planning next semester, someone on the WTM boards posted about this incredible resource yesterday. It has something for everyone and all FREE!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.
