New in 2007

  Calendars

School Calendars which have the starting months of Jan, June, July, August, and September. Months are listed across page instead of down.

Vertical Calendar: Each month is contained in one column Weekends and non-days are highlighted in color. These have a typeable header. Use them for your school calendar or for an attendance calendar.

 Handwriting

Blank Top handwriting paper in color

I re-did the 133 Manuscript Handwriting Sheets site to add Manuscript Letter Animations. As of today, Sept. 8, 2007, I have 4 finished. I hope to add them at a rate of 2 - 4 a week, depending on time here at home.

I have added back some of my cursive letter animations. They are linked from  Cursive Handwriting Practice.

 Help

I have added a new How-to Plan page, this one features Easy Grammar: Planning Easy Grammar

 History

New resources in History - Maps and Presidents. Two docs have been added: Declaration Of Independence, The Emancipation Proclamation, and Gettysburg Address

Math

Correction: Fraction Manipulatives
Typo fixed in manipulatives. All of the printables were remade so that they would still be mix-and match, however, the new ones will probably not match the old ones.

100-Number Charts 9 new charts. Two charts per sheet. Each chart has a certain amount of random missing numbers.

Four new 100-problem addition & six new multiplication facts sheets are added: Math Drills - Basic

 Planners

I removed these last year during my planner site makeover and because of resource shortages, but I have brought some of them back online.

New Checklist. The checklist is my children's most favorite form. The new checklist is also available as a spreadsheet
