Teacherfilebox.com, anyone try it?

Is it worth the money?

I think it is, but that is me.

How often do you find you print out activities from it?

I have it. It's a bit hard to justify the cost as a homeschooler (as opposed to a teacher with a classroom full of kids to print stuff out for), but the stuff I do use I really like, so I can't bring myself to cancel the subscription. Right now we're making a space pocket book that I printed out from the site, and the kids love it. I find a lot for science; not as much for history (although some of the history pockets are up there).

I have loved this site. I originally just signed up for the $.99 trial with the intention of canceling at the end of the month. Several months later... I still haven't cancelled! Is it worth $9.99 a month? Probably not for me over a long period of time. I have printed off quite a bit of stuff though. Just about all of the theme pocket books are on there. We have done several and have several more planned. I will probably keep it another month or two, then cancel until next year.

and I like it. To me it is expensive compared to Enchanted Learning. I print off stuff every week. Some for homeschool and some for our co-op. I think it is worth the price if you spend a lot of time right now looking for printables on the internet. I have spent hours sometimes looking for what I need, and with Teacher File Box I can usually find something that fits my needs. There is also a product called Classroom Zoom. Here is the link:
http://www.classroomzoom.com I think it is by Teacher Created Resources for 50 a year. I also like Enchanted Learning. Here is the link: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Home.html I think it is a great sight for 20 dollars a year. The other one I find useful is www.abcteach.com (http://www.abcteach.com) I am not sure how much that is though.

HTH,

The lessons were too "something" - maybe too "public-schooly"? Anyway I decided I preferred the living books approach. I also had some technical problems because of the Vista operating system on my computer. Some things would not print properly.

Thanks for the other links. I had no idea there were so many sites like that.

Scholastic has a similar site, too.
