Children usually like drawing comic strips

This list of links will include every page at donnayoung.org that has calendars - dated calendars, not blank ones. This list is as much for me as it is for you. I have to remember to update these calendars yearly and this list will help me check my files. I have also linked this page in the menu of the calendar section.
In all there are 15 different different G&A files. That's a lot. This page is designed to help you choose one. This page is also an example of an ad-free page. I am considering adding an option for viewing my website without outside ads with a subscription. If you like this idea, encourage me via my feedback form.
In the right sidebar of the homeschool planner index, I have added a list of links to all of the V Planner help files. Additionally, I added this same list of help file links to all of the 
I've updated the art index. Now it includes all of the pages in the art section as of today. Not only did I update this file, I have added a link to the index to all of the art pages, so that you are always one click away for a listing of pages while in the art section.
I have been updating all of the pages in the English section and, while at this job, I added an English index to donnayoung.org. Not only did I add this file, I have added a link to the index to all of the English pages, so that you are always one click away for a listing of pages while in the English section.
I've been sitting on this page for a while. I have bigger plans for the discussion of labs, but not of them are hatched. This page is currently what I would call minimally basic in the guidance that it offers.
This page brings together forms that can be used for language arts. The two that I used the most are listed first. The first one, a planner, can be for any subject that has three divisions. I made it for my children's high school English classes because the bulk of the plans for each day were in three parts --...
I've added new typeable PDF high school diploma for 2012.
I've added new labs sheets and I updated the lab sheet web page.
The bingo games on this page are: Addition Bingo and Multiplication Bingo. There are six cards per printed sheet of paper. The cards are small, measuring just over 3" by 3.5".
I've added 20 new addition and 20 new multiplication drill sheets.

Basic Information: This is a timer for the desk-sized personal planner. The timer begins at 6 AM and ends at 9 PM. Each hour is divided into 15 minute increments. After 9 PM the remaining 3 lines are unlabeled.
This is a new set of ruled filler paper. I call it standard filler paper because I used 3 standard rule sizes to measure the space between the lines. The sizes are wide rule, medium rule (college ruled), and narrow rule. To make this paper a genuine set, I made four styles of each rule - fully ruled, blank top, ruled on left side, and ruled on right side (with other side being blank).
Half-Sized Household Block Planner for 2012 is online. This year I added two extra December files, a matching ruled paper file, and a back file for the 12-month calendars file. The 2011 files were moved to a new page.
When I redo my website, like I have been doing this year, I try to improve parts of it. In this case, I improved the Drawing with Children overview and lesson plan pages. Lesson 2 is the most changed, so it gets to be linked.
To the 100-number charts page, I added 51 new printable files.
Someone wrote me and asked about my Family Boot Camp today. I described it at my blog 2007, but that article went missing, which is a shame because the comments were lost as well.

2009: I have been working for a couple of months to revise the art section at DY and today, I uploaded some of the new pages. Some of the pages are unfinished, but online anyway. Almost every area in the art section is unfinished. Expect to run across typos, misspelled words, or broken links, it takes me a while to get everything right and it will take a while to finish all of the areas in art. Because so much is new, I will post a list of home pages and pages with new printable files. 2011: The art section continues to be an ongoing project.
