to Myra, Angi, Stefanie, and Ticia — Funny how many of us former school teachers forgot the tools we used then. They are still valuable tools and can be translated into the homeschool setting quite well.

to Maria — Exactly. Mind mapping is creating a graphic organizer.

Thanks so much, Jimmie. What a wealth of information! I, too, am a former teacher (retired and now homeschooling 3 of my g’kids) and had forgotten about some of these. I immediately printed off the ones that would be of use to me (and mine) and have filed them for future use.

Wow! That is a lot of sites. Thanks! Somehow I can't help thinking mind maps as I look at these .-= Maria´s last blog ..Day Two: Muslim Attitudes =-.

I love graphic organizers, as well. I used them as a classroom teacher. You were able to find such great resources that I haven't been able to find. I've been using white out and a copier to reconstruct some from my PS teaching days. LOL .-= Angi´s last blog ..PREPARING FOR MONDAY =-.

What a treasure trove of wonderful resources!!!! Thanks so much!

I too love graphic organizers…….of course I am the one that loves to diagram sentences too. Both of my children are highly visual and I don’t know why I have not used these with them. Now I am kicking myself for forgetting such a helpful…..and fun form of learning. Thanks for the inspiration!

Well those were a walk down memory lane. I haven’t used one since I taught. (BTW, I didn’t know you used to be a PS teacher too.)

I’m going to have to remember this when Mackenzie’s a little older.

I love graphic organizers too. Used them all the time when I taught. I'm eagerly looking forward to my kids being old enough for it to make sense to use them. .-= Ticia´s last blog ..Our Preschool Week in Review =-.
