Photo Problems, Valentine Freebie

Greetings Everyone! I'm sorry that some of the pictures are not displaying properly. I just realized it was a problem and am working on it. From what I can gather it has something to do with my Google+/Picasa. I will try to fix the missing photos in the next week. Just for fun, I am including a free Valentine printable and a link to my latest TpT listing. It is a set of Doodle Border Stationery for Writer's Workshop.

Rudolph!

Several years ago I had my first graders write a letter to Rudolph. They were darling! What wonderful thoughts and questions these kids had for this special reindeer! I have included a template for black and white, all color and a little bit of color depending on how much ink you have or want to use! ;)

Thinking ahead to December

I can't help it! With Thanksgiving right around the corner my thoughts are turning to Christmas. I may even begin my Christmas decorating inside our home tomorrow. Our college boy will be home for Thanksgiving and I enjoy having everything festive so that he can enjoy it when he arrives! I still have a copy of one of the letters he wrote to Santa when he was in first or second grade! If I can find it, I am going to post it just for fun!In the meantime, here is a little form for writing to Santa. I made it in black and white because I know color ink can be costly. Let me know if you would like it in color.

Printable Writing Paper

In planning a Fall writing project today, I realized I wanted a nicer copy for the kids to write on. When that happens, I normally find one of my handwriting fonts that allows me to create blank lines. I am never completely happy with the results, but it works.

I just wasn't in the mood to try and format something on my own and thought that someone else surely must have created something better than what I could create. Sure enough I was in luck! DonnaYoung.org had what I wanted. And it looks like there are many more things that I might want to use as well.
