This botany worksheet -- or, rather, one like it -- was originally found in an out-of-print vintage book. I appreciated the thoroughness with which it walks the student through his observations, so I recreated it. The worksheet is two pages, so it's perfect for printing on one sheet, front and back, for use in a nature journal or botany notebook.

This set of reference sheets lists Dewey Decimal topics by ones. (400, 401, 402, etc.) This can sometimes be a very helpful way to research a topic! (Please note that some numbers are still reserved for future use and thus are intentionally "blank.")

This is a set of "grids" in PDF format, ranging from basic graph paper and dot paper to more complex background patterns such as a box-style tesselation. They are intended to facilitate the exploration of patterns and motifs, and print in grey to make them easy to draw on.

This illustration of the alligator "eating" the larger number incorporates the greater than/less than sign. Use it in worksheets to illustrate the concept for young students. The "greater than" and "less than" alligators are included as both PNGs and an SVGs. (They're mirror images, so you can also just use the "greater than" gator and flip it when needed.) The preview image, a JPEG that depicts both indicators, is also included.

This packet helps present the story of the real St. Patrick. The heart of the packet is a brief, kid-friendly biography with glossary, and a coloring page based on an older portrait of St. Patrick. It also features that image, and a couple of maps to help contextualize the biography. (Please note that the perspective of the biography is Protestant, as Patrick was.)

These "reproducibles" have been extracted from Daily Bread/DIY Unit Studies for use by a broader audience than just Daily Bread users. This is a set of general reproducibles intended to be used with unit studies. The worldview is Christian and there is a lot of "religious" content, so please be aware. The forms are freely reproducible for use within a single homeschool family (or single classroom) ONLY.

This one-sheet reference page lists Dewey Decimal topics by tens. This is helpful for browsing the library, or getting a high-level overview of the non-fiction section. (Please note that some numbers are still reserved for future use and thus are intentionally "blank.")

This set includes hundred charts and 120 charts with four versions each. One-page options should be self-explanatory. Two-page options are intended to be printed and adhered inside a file folder for file folder games. The traditional rows of 1-10 are offered in each size and type (hundred or 120). I have also included options with rows of 0-9 which is more logical for many purposes.

This template is intended to make the creation of Montessori-style 3-part cards easier. The zip file includes two options. A PDF preserves the formatting but will enable manual card creation. A DOC is included for those who can open/edit it, to enable easy copy-and-paste creation.

Help your young students learn to observe their surroundings when out on a nature walk by using this worksheet. A series of images suggest nine common items for children to be watching for: a bird, a cloud, an ant (or a bug, if you want to be less specific), a leaf, a person, a cat (or pet), a squirrel, a tree, and a flower. A blank version is also included so you can include your own preferred items to watch for. (Increase the difficulty for older students by making it more specific -- a map

These skip-counting cards are intended to be printed on cardstock, cut apart, and laminated for use and reuse with dry-erase markers. (A binder ring is also helpful, but completely optional.) These are great as workbox activities, or for practice after regular work is complete.

The Curious Researcher, by Dr. Bruce Ballenger, is a college-level textbook that walks students through the process of writing a research paper. It's an excellent text and also useful with older middle schoolers or high schoolers (although some of the illustrations are a bit grown-up for the younger crowd and may need to be replaced). However, I found that my younger students had a hard time keeping the big picture in mind, so I made this checklist. The checklist summarizes the process of pla

These place value cards are designed to be printed on cardstock, laminated (optional), and cut out for use as manipulatives. Units may be placed atop tens, which may be placed atop hundreds, which may be placed atop thousands, so students can visualize the concept of place value.

Most coloring sheets -- and other illustrations -- of Noah's ark are more of a symbolic or caricaturized variety, and don't resemble the biblical description at all. Here is a more historically-accurate option for your Bible class or Sunday School classroom.
