November 2015 Personal Planner Pages – Free Printable

Oct262015

October 26, 2015 by Jolanthe 3 Comments

The fall weather around these parts has been wonderful. The leaves are in their full colors here and I’ll admit – it’s my favorite time of the year. With November on the horizon, we have the holidays to start planning for and several birthdays in our immediate family coming as well! It’s definitely a time that I need to be on top of everything coming (and going). I’m excited to have another round of freezer cooking coming too, because I know it will be a bit help!

I’d love to share a few printable pages with you all to help you get your November organized – keep reading and thanks for downloading!

My Daily Planner

If you’d like to take a look at how I’ve set up my yearly planner, I’ve explained it more in this post here, as well as given links to my favorite binder and colorful tabs (because pretty makes life fun too, right?).

Download the November Personal Planner Pages

You can download the November 2015 Personal Planner Pages HERE. There are 12 pages included as a part of the download: the month at a glance and then weekly planning pages as well. Each month I’ll be offering a free download for that month’s planning pages, so you can check back and download them as they become available.

Purchase the Daily Personal Planner

If you like the layout and want to start planning out the rest of your year now (and next year too), purchase the full 2015 -2016 Daily Planner for $4.99. The calendar runs thru December 2016. It includes 18 month-at-a-glance pages and dated weekly pages through December 2016. Enjoy!

Don’t Miss The Daily To-Do List

My Daily To-Do List is pretty basic, but hopefully it will work for you too. There is an area to make a list of things to accomplish, household goals, appointment, meals for the day, and even a space to record exercise (oh – I crack myself up!) and water intake. Each page in the document is identical so you can print them off, cut the page in half, and have two lists. If you print them front to back, you’ll have four to-do lists and save a little paper.

Hope you all have a wonderful November!! I’d love to hear your plans!

Comic Strip Illustrations for History – Free Printables

Oct82015

October 8, 2015 by Jolanthe 18 Comments

One of the BEST things that we’ve ever done for our history time has been letting the kids illustrate their history lessons. While taking notes works well for the older ones at times, more often than not, they really enjoy sketching out what they are learning.

Here’s the thing – they are recalling SO much more! At the end of our lessons, they are cracking up and retelling me more information from the heart of our lessons, and their recall is stretching far beyond what it has in the past. All thanks to a simple comic strip style piece of paper.

We’ve used coloring pages in the past to go along with our history studies as well as letting the kids build with Legos, but these pages for illustrating what they ‘hear’ from our reading have been a wonderful compromise because they appeal to the kids’ artistic side (and it is so much more quiet compared to the stirring of Legos!).

Coloring pages, Legos, and other ideas all have their time and place during our lesson time, don’t get me wrong! We haven’t thrown out every other method, but while the kids are enjoying this way to learn and recall history, we are going to run with it!

The kids are all using stick figures and just a plain ol’ No. 2 pencil for their sketching (we can thank Grapevine for the stick figure love). Above you can see McKenna’s work when we were talking about the ancient Egyptians and the process of mummification. (I may have cracked up when I saw the picture of Pharaoh in a not-so-living state.)

Because I was getting tired of sketching out grid after grid on blank paper for them (mainly Kaleb) every single day, I put together a collection of comic strip style templates for them to use when illustrating their lessons.

There are 12 different layouts in the pdf file (linked below). Some of the pages are in landscape format (our favorite) and several in portrait (the file will appear all landscape, so just pay attention to the placement of the lines where kids can write the lesson topic and the date or their name). Since Kaleb doesn’t draw quite as many pictures, there are some with only 12 squares, several with rectangles for larger scenes, and a few with up to 20 squares for illustrating.

Download the Comic Strip Templates HERE.

Hope these are a help to you all as well!

Doodle Art Coloring Page Printable

Aug312015

August 31, 2015 by Jolanthe 2 Comments

Laurianna loves to doodle and draw. Really, she adores art of any kind. During her free time lately she has been working on drawing with just a sharpie and her sketch pad to make some fun patterned creations.

Call them doodles. Call them Zentangles. Whatever you want to say is fine. It’s pretty. It’s fun. And it makes her happy.

When I shared the above picture of her working on one of her latest creations, several people emailed and asked if she would share it as a download – she said YES (and is rather excited that other people like it too!).

She started off doodling an eye (I’m sure you can see that) and then went from there. I see one thing in the doodle and the others in the house see another – so we’re having fun with it. The best part is, we can print it off and each color it however we would like.

If you’d like to download a copy to color for your kids (or yourself – I promise, I won’t tell because I have one for myself), just click below. And if you wouldn’t mind sharing on Pinterest – she’d love that too!
Thanks for downloading and sharing!
