Thank you for pointing out this site. This is actually somewhere I hadn’t been yet and it really looks pretty great. I guess like most parents, I am always looking for something new to get involved with my kids. Graphic organizers are great and have really seemed to do quite a bit through the learning stages, but the kids also enjoy creating them which is really important. Thanks again for sharing.
