are there any government or really good websites with syllabus content for my 8 yr old?

I am not sure I understand. A syllabus is what a teacher writes telling students (or parents) what a class will be about and the expectations of that class. There are thousands of them online although most of them are college level syllabuses. Are you trying to find information regarding standards and benchmarks? That is usually posted either on the local school district website or at the state department of education website. As for syllabus content for an 8yr old you could always ask some 2nd/3rd grade teachers if they can share one with you although most don't use a syllabus. Rather they use a plan book and plan out day-by-day, week-by-week their lessons so as to meet the standards and benchmarks required by law. Many elementary teachers do send letters home with parents telling about their class and what to expect. \nAs for good websites I would guess they are out there somewhere. Curriculum for 8year olds may be a good search to start with.\n\ngood luck.

Go to: www. Findarticles.com\nEnter: parents and teachers and involve\n\nDoing this search I came up with a number of periodical articles that appeared to have useful information.

Talk with her and her parents to find out exactly what issues she has in both subjects.  If possible, look at her report card.  \n\nOnce you know what areas you need to target, go on-line to find worksheets, puzzles, games, etc. to help her in those areas.  There are tons of free websites for teachers to use.  You can even print review questions for most books you may want to read with her.  One of my favorite sites is http://www.edhelper.com.  It has math, reading, language arts, etc.  Many worksheets are free.  To be honest, WalMart has some pretty decent workbooks at that age level, too.   They won't be quite as expensive as a traditional bookstore (which is also a good source).  \n\nMost importantly, be kind, be patient, and be encouraging.

Depending on the age of the child in question I reccomend either rosetta stone or Learnables. Rosetta stone is best for older children and teens. Learnables is great for elementary school students because there is no reading involved. It is all picture/audio based.\nwww.rosettastone.com\nwww.learnables.com

www.proteacher.com has some great chat boards, lesson plan ideas, content ideas, strategies, etc.  Good site, I think all grades.

Well , Im glad you ask the question one more time. I hope that I can answer your question . In your local area some churches do home studies online . Or they offer home courses your child can take from home.  Ive listed some sites that send you free information. Also information on  how to start a school if there isnt one you can afford. Its a shame education as to cost anyone. I hope I have at least touch on your subject.

From your question, I'm assuming you're talking about younger children.  At so young an age, children do not need a terribly structured curriculum, however, you might look into Abeka.  Both these websites are good resources for curriculum.\nhttp://www.rainbowresource.com/index.php\nhttp://www.bluestockingpress.com/catalog/default.php\n\nI would also highly recommend the book "A Thomas Jefferson Education" by Oliver DeMille.  You can buy that at gwc.edu in the bookstore section.

While bobweb's suggestions are interesting and provide food for thought, they don't really address the reality that exists in most schools, nor are they very helpful in addressing your question.\n\nI have attached a number of websites that I hope will be helpful to you.  8th grade was my favorite one to teach.  Good luck with it.
