Poems for Elemental Science.  Original Poems written by ME, because the ones that came with Elemental Science were so awful.  Three pages are included:  one page with two poems for plants, two pages with six poems for animals (overview; mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians).  If you’re just looking for the one-page Parts of a Plant poems, click here.  Feedback is appreciated!

Printable paperclips for math (estimating, measuring) activities – I made up this sheet because we didn’t have all the paperclips here that we would have needed to do the estimation and measurements suggested in our workbook.  Not quite as much fun as REAL paperclips, but easier than linking up hundreds of them to measure objects around your home:
 

Ambleside & Other Fine Arts:


Composers

imageFREE Composer narration pages 2011-2012.  Includes one blank page, plus illustrated narration pages for the following composers:  Bach, Bartok, Hindemith, Mendelssohn, Mozart.  Nice picture included for each composer, plus a generous space for writing.
More composer resources:
Printable Composer Books by Thomas Tapper (public domain books available as plain text from Project Gutenberg here), nicely reformatted by me and PDF-downloadable.  Child’s Own Book of Great Musicians:  Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach.
Also, from “The World’s Great Men of Music” / "Story-Lives of Master Musicians” by Harriette Brower:  Mendelssohn.  (I have tried to adapt Brower’s style to update it as well as bring it in line with the Tapper biographies)

History


 

Book of Centuries / Timeline Clip Art “Stickers”

image_thumb
An eclectic mix of ancients, moderns, authors, composers, artists, and Magic Tree House books that we ourselves have read, studied or enjoyed.  There is also a page of significant Jewish dates.  You will want to add and perhaps subtract from this set of clip art, but hopefully, it will give you something to start with!  Because you may wish to customize this document, I’m making it available as an easy-print PDF or a fully-editable Word 2007 document.  If you make tons of changes and come up with something wonderful, you’re welcome to come back  here and share it with others!

Story of the World #1

Story of the World Chapter / Section Narration Page

Because each chapter of SOTW is generally divided into two easily manageable sections, I created this blank narration page to quickly write down the short narrations that are expected as we go along through the book. 
I usually read the question prompts in the Activity Guide first, then ask for a brief narration of whatever she remembers for this section.  Sometimes, I’ll start by reminding her of the title of the current section as a springboard for the narration.


Geography

 
NEW!  FREE Lapbook Components for A Child's Geography - download as many or as few as you want:

Cute antique postcard narration page for A Child’s Geography Book 1: Explore His Earth, by Ann Voskamp.  Could be used with any geography curriculum, as long as you don’t mind if it has a teeny-weeny little book-cover “logo” in the top-right corner.
Oh, okay… here’s a generic version without the book-cover logo, so you could use it with any geography program you enjoy!

  3. Thanks for all the hard work you have put into these printables. I downloaded the reformatted composer books.

    I would like to download the Poetry a Month PDF, but I can't find the link.. I found an image and a description on your printables page, but no hyperlink. Did I miss something? Do I just need to download each month separately?

    Thanks again, your printables are great.

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
