Draw, Write, Now Giveaway & Printables

We love Draw, Write, Now and have for years!  I bought my set when we first began homeschooling and am now using that same set with Krash!  When Barker Creek  Publishing contacted me about  partnering together it was a natural fit!

 logo_main_183_BarkerCreek

Barker Creek is a small, woman-owned business located near Seattle, Washington. Our company was founded almost 20 years ago with the release of Draw-Write-Now Book One. Through the years, the Draw Write Now series has earned numerous education awards including Teachers Choice and has been a recipient of Practical Homeschooling Magazine’s Reader’s Choice award-winner in both the handwriting and art categories almost every year for the past two decades. Barker Creek has expanded through the years and we now offer over 400 products that help children master essential skills and help teachers and parents organize and decorate their learning environments.

Be sure to read to the bottom of the post, they are giving away a complete set of Draw, Write, Now books!  I also have free go-along printables to share too!

For those of you unfamiliar with Draw, Write, Now, I will give you a little tour.  There are 8 books in the series, which can be purchased separately as well as all together in a box set. The individual books and topics are:

  • Book 1 ~  On the Farm, Kids & Critters, Storybook Characters
  • Book 2  ~ Columbus, Autumn Harvest, Weather
  • Book 3 ~ North America, Native Americans, Pilgrims
  • Book 4 ~ Polar Regions, Arctic, Antarctic
  • Book 5 ~ The United States, From Sea to Sea, Moving Forward
  • Book 6 ~ Animal Habitats: Land, Ponds/Rivers, Ocean
  • Book 7 ~ Animals of the World, Part 1: Forest Animals
  • Book 8 ~ Animals, part 2: Grasslands & Desert Animals

     

    The target age range for these books is 1st or 2nd grade, BUT Pac used them as a Kindergartner, and STILL uses them as a 5th grader!  The handwriting work is obviously for those learning to write, but the drawing lessons are timeless, even I use them!

    The books focus on enhancing students’ drawing and handwriting skills, while providing fun facts about different topics.

    For a little walk down memory lane, here are a few drawings Pac did when he was about 5/6 years old!

    And now, Krash is using the same books!  He has just begun, so I am starting him with book 1 and we are going to go through them in order.  With Pac, we used them for topics and built the books into our schoolwork that way.

    Here Krash is working on his hen, adding color.  I created some printables to help him during this stage as all of the copywork will overwhelm him right now.  I made tracers for him to start with, and then we will gradually move to more independent copying as he progresses.

    His finished product…Draw, Write, Now Book One Hen -1157

    Great news!  I got permission from Draw, Write, Now to share these files with you.  The text is copied exact from their books, which is why I needed permission. This file includes all printables for Book One.  I am not guaranteeing all 8 books, it depends on many factors in my life!  Here are the two options included for each drawing.

    It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, It was a Christmas filled with many emotions. Joy, happiness, excitement, surprise, sadness, longing, and a bit of emptiness. 

We celebrated with my parents on the 24th, and that was a very joyous celebration. We enjoyed church, gifts, food, and mostly one another. 

On the 25th we celebrated with my husband’s family and sadly we are missing our beloved Nana who went to be with Jesus a few weeks ago. We all did our best to honor her love for fun last night. We played games, we laughed, we ate well, but it was all mixed with a longing sadness, wishing we had her with us. 

The next to last photo is it Kyler and my father in law, who lost his very best friend. We just love him so much and pray for his continued healing as he grieves this horrible loss and emptiness. 

The final photo is of Nana’s grandkids each holding their collage of photos of them and their Nana. This gift brought some tears, but we can tell will be treasured by each of them. She was one of a kind, and so special to all six of them.

    I know many of you don’t know many of the people I know many of you don’t know many of the people in this photo, but I know many of you pray. The beautiful woman on the far left of the couch is my bonus-momma, my husband’s mom. She has stopped all treatment for her cancer and is going home to be with Jesus soon. We prayed for her to feel well enough to be with us at Thanksgiving, and though she felt pretty crappy, she was there. 

If you know her, you know what I mean when I say this is one of the kindest, most joyful, selfless people I have ever known. The world won’t be the same without her. We are devastated and hurting. We pray for her peace, her comfort, her pain, and for God to relieve her of the suffering. 

Last night was a huge mixture of pure joy and devastating sadness. We celebrated and hugged, and laughed, and we cried. It’s just so hard. Thanks for praying for our family. ❤️

She annoys all of our other animals just like a little sister should and keeps the humans on our toes too. She LOVES Lili, and is still BFF with Pebbles (Lili’s cat). So glad we decided to add this rambunctious ball of fluff to our crew!

I have been homeschooling for a long time, one of my kids is graduated, one is a junior, and the other is in 8th - homeschooled the entire time. I am still a curious homeschooler and love to know what is working or hasn't worked for others. I have a series of these posts planned and hope that many of you will share!

First up - MATH! What curriculum are you using? Do you like it? Did you switch from something else? Any thoughts you're willing to share - good or bad! 

If you have a blog or Youtube and want to link to a specific post/video about math, feel free!

    Remember them? We don’t see much of my oldest no Remember them? We don’t see much of my oldest now since he’s been living on his own (renting a house with friends), but we love when we do! That’s his dog, Melody, who is temp. living with us due to not getting along with a roommates dog. She’s smiling in this pic because he came over to visit her and she ADORES him. 

Paxton is 20 and doing great, I know many of you have watched him grow up on my blog! He works for a robotics company that contracts with Amazon, so he runs the robotics portion of an Amazon warehouse (did I explain that kinda right @paxtoroni ?) he’s VERY into cars, and has been for years, this is his car account in case you’re into cars too: @paxgt 😬 I don’t love cars but I LOVE him.
