13-Month Calendar Generator

Designed for homeschoolers who school from mid-month to mid-month year-round.
With the generator, you may type the header, choose the starting month and
starting year. Generator programmed by John Young.
Cursive Handwriting Lessons
http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/cursive-den.htm
The cursive handwriting worksheets on this web page use a handwriting style that
is similar to D'Nealian, however there are some Zaner-Bloser elements in some of
the worksheets. There are 28 worksheets with 4 short lessons per worksheet. A
writing animation accompanies a few of the lessons.
Connecting Cursive Capitals
http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/cursive-capitals.htm
Connecting Cursive Capitals is a series of cursive handwriting lessons that
practice altered and non-altered cursive capital letters to connect the capital
letter with a following lowercase letter. There are 3 worksheets (6 lessons ) so
far. I will work on these and upload them over time. Update, 4/4/9: I've added 5
more files.
Kindergarten Diploma
http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/certificates.htm
I spent a bit of time on a new kindergarten diploma. This one is a serious
looking file and it's typeable. If you need a kindergarten diploma, read more
about the file at the new certificate page.
HSF Archives
http://homeschoolforms.com/archives/
July 2003, I opened a homeschool board at homeschoolforms.com. Despite the
existence of multitudes of home-ed forums all across the internet, I started the
board because it seemed like a good idea to provide the service. Unfortunately,
the longer I had the board, the more time it required to maintain. Due to
growing time restraints and not having enough time to work on donnayoung.org, I
closed the board about 4 years later. Now, 2 years later, I am finally archiving
the discussion threads at HSF Archives. Read more at About
Alexia Planner
http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/alexi.htm
This is just another planner option. I remade the Alexia Planner files from
images to preserve the font that I use for this planner. There are only nine
files for this planner and I am not sure if I will make more. This won't be the
last planner that I add this year, two more are on my list. There is a bit more
about upcoming planners including a sample file at the alexia blog entry.
Happy Homeschooling,
Donna Young
