Pinterest Has My Interest
Have you discovered Pinterest yet? I’ve been on it for a couple of months now and it is fascinating!
{Warning: it is also a black hole. You will lose all sense of time. :D}
Pinterest is a social bookmarking site for pictures. You Pin (bookmark) an image that you find on the internet and Pinterest saves it to your board and tags it with the website. You can also save other people’s pins.
You can see my boards HERE to get a better idea of how it works. You can also access my boards anytime with the button in my sidebar.
Leave your email in the comments if you want me to send you an invite – it will give you instant access instead of having to wait to be approved.
Please leave a link to your boards so we can all share in the fun!!
~I think I will start posting my favorite pins on Fridays. I am going to do the first one in a separate post because this one is long enough already!~
Trace Through the Year Book
These are the pages that I will be printing to make a Trace & Write Through the Year book for Sassyfrass. You can see other book ideas in this post.
The text on these worksheets can be changed, so I will be making them a little wordy-er. (Would you believe that my spellcheck didn’t flag wordy-er?)
To make a Color Through the Year book for younger kids –>click on a worksheet below –>look under Customize Your Worksheet –> select the coloring page under Change Style

Create Your Own Tracing Book
If you have a beginner writer, then you are going to love all the goodies at Twisty Noodle!
There are pages and pages of tracing worksheets in very clever categories. Click on the worksheet you want and you will be able to choose Block, D’Nealian, or Cursive, and even change the text.
I am going to make a book for Sassyfrass out of seasonal pages. She can do a few each week and have a cute notebook full by the end of school. {See this post for the pages I am using. It is so cute!!}
Here are some ideas for custom tracing books:
A is for … (all letters)
Sports Fan – add in one of these college teams
There are coloring pages in these same categories if you want to make a book for a younger child.
