What does Beta Mean regarding the V Planners?
How to Know!
To the original graph paper page I have added 10 more sizes. These papers have gray graph lines with black dividing lines. The graph is divided every 3, 5, or 10 squares. Two sizes are made with both regular and wide margins. One special file is designed for a small garden.
Two files - the Spelling Bee Winner and the Spelling Bee Champion. The Champion file is the year-end award for the child who won the most spelling bees. The Winner file has four certificates per page that you would sign, date, and hand to the winner of each spelling bee.
Applies to V Planner V3. 
Requested - The diploma pictured here, but without the border. It is a typeable PDF.
New Yellow Stripe handwriting rule papers in 5 rule heights and in horizontal format.
Applies to all planner with a bump column [March - 2013]
The printable filler paper on this page feature a rule height of approximately 9mm. The rule is blue with pink margin lines and the outside margin line is olive. All but one file feature a small image at the top of the page. Each paper has a header that reads: by: and date:
This video explains how the 3 columns of lesson plans are handled in the planners. Please watch this video before adding lesson plans to the S-Sheets. [March - 2013]

Word templates that may be used to create paper cubes with pictures. Each template makes a certain sized cube, there are 7 sizes. Use the cubes for education or to make photo cubes.
There are 3 new pre-made gift tag sheets, two are suitable for Christmas. The blank tag template has been redone to make it better. That's a pitiful description.
The Spicy Popcorn page will be new to most of you. Today I updated the instructions to reflect exactly how I make the popcorn; I've been making it for years, and I added a 4x6 recipe card in the Microsoft Word formats of - DOC and DOCX.
Calendar shown here is an example of using the calendars. This is an undated "dated" blank monthly calendar. The blocks that should contain dates are bordered and the month and year is noted on the bottom of each page.
Fantasy Fudge from the Kraft Marshmallow label - Our family's been making this particular fudge for decades. The recipe is online and I added recipe cards, a pdf of 4 small cards and the typical 4x6 recipe card size in doc and docx.
13 Meals is a method of meal planning for a month that I started doing a long time ago. I based this method on the repeating meal. This method is best when a shopping list is also made as this typically saves money at the grocery store.
A menu planner in two colors - black and white, and blue and white. This planner allows you to keep a running record of meals and it has the typical menu planner files to go with it. Part of this menu planner is based on my category method of making meal plans.
Of course calendars continue to occupy work and I can't seem to resist making new calendar styles. This new style is a one-page monthly calendar that has ruled lines, most of which are dated.
I came across a file that I had forgotten about. It is a "Month on a Page" type of calendar. This one is called List Top and I have a non-dated version of it at Calendars > Blank Calendars. Anyway, I made a whole lot of dated "List Top" calendars.
Requested: Blank Calendar in the Blue Calendar style and the Frame Calendar style. These files are placed on the Blank Calendar page at Calendars > Blank
The only dated "wall" calendar that I have was expiring this year (and I just removed it from the page) and I made another wall calendar to take it's place. It's made in the same style as the Colonial Set.
Attendance H - an attendance calendar that can be used for several children. I made 3 versions of this new attendance calendar - one for 2 children (1 page), one for 4 children (2 pages), and one for 7 children (3 pages). I am calling it Attendance H because it prints horizontally.
While working on the page, Prepositional Phrases, I added files for the Thanksgiving song by Lydia Maria Child: Over the River and Through the Wood. The pdf version has a ruled right side for anything that you deem useful.
3-Year Calendar - Someone requested a 3-year per page calendar a few days ago and so I made the calendars and now they are online.
Someone asked for a certain list of prepositions today and that led me down a bunny trail that ended with making preposition lists and a short, maybe very short, preposition bingo game that uses the prepositions from Easy Grammar grades 3 and 4. All files, game and lists, are found at this link.
I was recently updating the files for the 2-page dated attendance form when I realized that I needed to make one more for August - one that included January in both the 1st and 2nd semesters. Our homeschool year typically started in August and the 2nd semester started in January. Once in a while the 1st semester used part of January. So now we have a 2-page attendance calendar with two Januaries.
Donna Young started this web site in 1998. She was teaching her children at home, had bought a new internet capable computer, and decided to put her homeschool and household files online. Aside from a few donated files, Donna makes all the content for donnayoung.org using several programs such as drawing programs and word processors. Most of all, this website is a place on the internet from where you may print homeschool planners, household planners, Calendars, handwriting lessons, printable worksheets or papers for several subjects. DonnaYoung.org has grown over the years and continues to grow. Meanwhile, Donna's children have graduated from home school and life goes on.
The sections are linked across the top of every page on my website. If you get lost here, just try backing up or going to the section where you think something should be. I'll admit that not everything is organized as well as it could be and I'm working on it!! The boxes below show the sections along with a screen shot image of the related navigation menu. I wrote a little bit about each section in the boxes and included a few links.
What do I have to say about home school? My thoughts on home school are scattered all over donnayoung.org and not in just this section. If you spend enough time here, you will know what I think of homeschooling. This section, Homeschool, will have links to articles, game items, etc.

How to Make a Sticker Book
I have many homeschool planners and you can print them for free. However, Homeschool Planner is more than printing planners; it is also about:
how to plan, why choose a certain planner type, school calendars, grade forms, xls files, high school forms and more. If you are a homeschooler, just go there.
How to Plan is a "child section" of Homeschool Planner. I wrote a series of articles about the thought processes behind getting started and making simple lesson plans. Linked below are some of the starting pages.

In the household section you can print household planners in two sizes. Although I have a separate calendar section, you can print special calendars from household. The main parts of household are:
Full-Sized Household Planners
Desk Size Personal Organizer
Purse Sized Booklet
Small Desk Calendar
The section name is self explanatory and in it, you will find calendars for, hopefully, this year and next year at the very least.
Printable School Calendars
Vertical Monthly Calendars
Horizontal Monthly Calendars
Blank Calendars
Note: Sometimes the calendar that you want will be in the Household section.
I was one of those children who drew on walls. My art section is not nearly large enough and I really want to work on it, but there are so many parts to this website to work on.
Some pages:
Comic Strip Printables
Drawing Ia
Drawing Ia for Younger Children
Drawing With Children Overview & Lesson Plans
The English section is challenging to work on because it is the last place that I want to causally type up articles full of poor grammar, iffy usage, and typing errors. I like the subject and when I get over my fear of making mistakes in this section, it ought to grow like crazy.
Spelling | Vocabulary | ABC Order | Linking Verbs |
Sentence Building Activity 1 | Activity 2
The Handwriting section is a popular landing page. I have printable ruled paper, handwriting lessons, animations, font links, & tips.
Handwriting is a large section; the newest manuscript handwriting set, KB, has over 550 printable files as well as handwriting animations.
Some links in the history section:
Timeline Forms
Timeline Book Instructions
Streams of Civilization Volume One
Maps for School Children
Chicken Mummy
A Child's History of the World Schedule & Book Suggestions
In the math section I have printable items such as Math Work Paper, Number Line Paper, multiplication charts, coordinate grid paper, drill sheets, triangular flash cards, clock worksheets, money worksheets, black & white graph paper and color, a fraction pie, and a write-up about Unit Multipliers
I have a few articles, a few printables, a few videos in science.
A Child's Simple Folded Nature Journal | Half-Sized Nature Journal
Full Sized Nature Journal
Orion Constellation
Lab Sheets
Video: Playing Dead, by a False Potato Beetle
Because I used this curriculum, I have free lesson plans for some of the books. For my children, I made vocabulary bookmarks as a study aid & those are online as well.

To the original graph paper page I have added 5 more sizes. These papers have gray graph lines with black dividing lines. The graph is divided every 5 or 10 squares. Two sizes are made with both regular and wide margins.
