Adorable Preschool Coloring Pages

By: amyswanderingcomment

I just melted at the sight of these adorably-vintage ABC coloring pages for preschoolers.

I printed them all out for Sweetpea & plan on making a book out of them when she finishes.**

I am also going to print  these Learning Colors pages.

Don’t miss the Holidays & Seasons section. I guarantee that I will be printing out a set of my own to color!!

   

There are many, many more pages from which to choose – just look in the sidebar and start clicking.

**If you hit the Print button on the coloring page, three pages will print (the coloring page is pg 2) and there is website info at the top & bottom. I chose to copy & paste them into a blank document to get the coloring book look I was going for. I am sure there is an easier way to do this, but I don’t know what it is & it only took me about 20 minutes. 🙂

By: amyswanderingcomment

CurrClick is hosting free Open House sessions for their CurrClick Live classes on July 19th-21st.

In each session, you will have a chance to win a $40 gc to live classes, meet the teachers and learn about their classes, and receive discounts for attending.

Is there an area that you don’t feel confident in teaching your child? Or maybe you just want them to be a part of a group study. There are Live Classes for just about every subject. There are even some for the whole family to join in the fun!

Take a look, and just maybe you will win that gift certificate!

Trace Through the Year Book

By: amyswandering4 Comments

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

~September~

~October~

~November~

~December~

~January~

~February~

~March~

~April~

~May~

I am only doing the school year (we are lazy bums in the summer), but you could easily put together the remaining months & add them to your book.

Create Your Own Tracing Book

By: amyswanderingcomment

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:


Monsters & Aliens

Transportation

Tool Box

Girly Things

It’s a Zoo

Future Architect

Rainbow of Colors

Eat Your ABCs

Sign Language Alphabet

Fun Shapes

Toy Box

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.

Free Writing Guides

free writing guides

I was thrilled to discover the fantastic writing guides at Teaching That Makes Sense.

Look closely, the downloads are listed on the left.

Some of my favorites:

~Writing Strategy Guide – my older kids will be working their way through this attention-grabbing workbook

~ Prompted Writing – starting on page 25, there is a Glossary of Prompts and 1-a-page printable prompts

~ Learning Across the Curriculum – almost 200 pages of ideas on combining writing skills with other subjects

~ Practical Punctuation – handy little guide that I am printing out for everyone to put in their notebooks

~What is Good Writing? – more handy info

~Learning Patterns – writing and reading patterns – I think we might have a weekly writer’s workshop to go over some of these things (maybe I will model on the whiteboard?)

~Read Like a Reader, Read Like a Writer –  great exercises for learning to look at a piece of writing through both the eyes of a reader and a writer

~An Introduction to the Writing Process – teaching the writing process and instructions for setting up a writer’s workshop notebook

~Assessing Writing – know what to look for when correcting your child’s writing

Which ones will you be using?
