• Sep. 19, 2007 - Weblink Wednesday: Shape Book Patterns for Writing

My friend Valerie over at just4homeschoolfamilies is hosting a meme each Wednesday called Weblink Wednesday. It gives homeschoolers a chance to share our favorite schooling links with others. The link I'd like to share today is Shape book patterns. There are a variety of fun shapes you can print out for your children to make their own books or write their stories on. My daughter wrote about why she loves her Daddy in her journal this week. Today we edited her writing together and then chose the child pattern to rewrite her Daddy story on. Writing isn't a favorite around here, but if you have something fun to write on, then it makes it more enjoyable.

Writing is not a favorite thing to do here, either. This site looks like it might help make it at least a little more fun. Thanks.

This is a great site. I was just going to have my hubby stop by the store tonight and pick up a few little books I heard about with writing samples and journaling... I think I'll look at this site you mentioned before I send him. Thanks for sharing - and thanks for participating.

Thanks for the comment Mindy! Nice to meet you. We are using the Usborne Art Treasury as well as I Can Do All Things. The Usborne book once a week gets us doing something different: namely painting a lot more. Once we have gone through that I don't know what we'll do, but I enjoy having special art time once a week that the whole family can get into.

Thanks for the link to shape books! It will come in handy!
