I've been working on some projects for school recently. My friend introduced me to a website called Teachers Pay Teachers. Basically, teachers post files of worksheets, posters, etc. for other teachers to use. Some you'd have to buy, but there are a ton for free.
I've been wanting posters for the parts of speech to put on the wall for my children to look when they forget what a pronoun is, or a preposition, etc. So, I got on that website and did some looking around. I found several different files that were what I wanted, but nothing had everything I wanted. Make sense? I wanted my posters to all look the same: font, color scheme, format. But, I couldn't find one file with all the parts of speech I wanted ... some had all but one or two, others had only four (because I am cheap and just want to get the free ones).
My answer was to just make my own! I spent some time making the posters, then decided to make a booklet for each of the children, and a table to post on the wall directly above their desks. I haven't yet put the pages together for the booklet, but I'll get to that next week after we get back from camping. I can't wait to get them into the hands of my children! It's probably overkill: all three items, but I want it to be an easy reference. My hope is that they will use these posters and booklets when they are writing, or deciphering grammar, or just simply filling in a Mad Lib page!
