More Starfall
This is a new site by Starfall, the best phonics site I've found so far. This time, in addition to further support on literacy, they have MATH!
I've been hoping for Starfall Math for some time, so this is really exciting.

Learn programming languages
This is a relatively new endeavor, and I'm not sure how it will come out, but it's worth looking at.

Mozilla is working with Peer2Peer U in developing this. The quality of the courses will depend on the teachers, of course.

TimeMaps Interactive History Maps
This is an awesome new resource that covers all of World History in engaging, informative interactive maps and a timeline.
It's a new enough resource that they are still adding materials, but the Ancient Egypt page can give you an idea of what to expect--not just places and dates, but info on art, architecture, government, and (this is BIG) the legacy in the rest of history. http://www.timemaps.com/civilization/Ancient+Egypt.
Easy to access and fun.

Fourth Grade
Here is the link to the Fourth Grade curriculum I'm using with my son this year. My son is profoundly gifted in the verbal/social studies areas, so you might find some of this perplexingly varied in its content and academic level. I have left off math except for drills because we are using Saxon Math 54 this year. Access it here:

Cooking Conversion Calculators
There are a lot of great education resources coming out of the UK right now, including cooking lessons for kids. To make them really useful, though, you need to convert the measurements:
