Beautiful And Colorful 2027 Appointment Keeper Calendar

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have the 2027 appointment keeper calendar which is two pages per month and you get all 12 months. Grab other gorgeous planning pages on my Homeschool Planner and 7 Step Curriculum Planner page.

This two page per month is sometimes called the Appointment Keeper. This is calendar is to jot down homeschool appointments and for personal appointments too.

Having a two page per month spread means it’s larger enough spacing for writing down important dates.

Beautiful And Colorful 2027 Appointment Keeper Calendar

So use it for a diy student planner or your own fitness planner.

Also, you get 12 full months and not just a 9 month calendar. It begins in January, 2027 and ends in December, 2027.

My copyright allows you print as many as you need because — it’s yours. Because I create 3 different types of calendars each year, here are the differences in each type of calendar.

The color choice I have today is for your main calendar meaning ALL appointments are noted on this calendar.

Do not write on the other two calendars I offer because they’re not big enough. This calendar has bigger boxes.

AMERICAN ROBIN UNIT STUDY IDEAS

We pulled out the chalk pastels today, used our Chalk Pastel reference tutorial book that we love.

This curriculum was created by a homeschool mom and Tiny decided to sketch and do a chalk pastel of the American Robin.

Sketch of the American Robin @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus
American Robin Chalk Pastel @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Robins are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals.

THE AMERICAN ROBIN – FIRST SIGN OF SPRING

Like his mom, Tiny is not comfortable with art. However, with some coaxing to change the pace of our day, he pulled out the chalk pastels.

I have tried my best through the years to be sure each son views art as enrichment and pleasure.

North American Red Robin Free Lapbook @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

The emphasis has always been on the pleasure of art and not so much the product.

However, I think he did quite well with this American Robin. Of course, he had to sketch it first so it would be “perfect”.

AMERICAN ROBIN FREE PRINTABLES, RESOURCES AND CRAFTS

I tried to talk him out of it and to use the pastels to free flow, but he really liked the way it came out and more importantly, we enjoyed a change in pace.

We read some online about American Robins and enjoyed listening to the sound of them too. We’ll be looking out to see one or two this year also.

I gathered up some free and fun resources to help round out a unit study or quick study.

6 Unit Study Resources: Mountain Men – Explorers of the West

March 13, 2026 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I’m sharing six mountain men unit study resources.

Whether you’re studying about the American Frontier, fur trade or living off the grid, you’ll bring history alive through studying the tough life of mountain men.

Today, I rounded up six unit study resources to grab for a unit study. Besides explorers and fur traders, they were some of America’s first trail blazers.

6 Unit Study Resources: Mountain Men - Explorers of the West

These rugged adventurers lived in the wilderness, exploring forests, rivers, and snowy mountain ranges. Their lives were full of adventure, danger, and discovery.

They were explorers and fur trappers who lived in the western parts of North America during the early 1800s. They traveled through places like the Rocky Mountains, where few settlers had gone before.

BOOKS ABOUT MOUNTAIN MEN FOR KIDS

Next, look at some fun books to read about their life.

5 Mountain Men Books

Whether you’re learning about mountain men for the day or want to create a unit study, add a book or two to your home library.

Mountain Men: True Grit and Tall Tales

In 1804, Lewis and Clark set out to find the fabled Northwest Passage to the Pacific, mounting the first expedition across the uncharted territory of President Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase. Though they never found the nonexistent Northwest Passage-or the lost tribes of Israel, rumored to be living in the Great American Desert-they did discover that the entire region west of the Mississippi was swarming with beaver. And so began the American fur trade, as the first tough trappers headed out to make their fortunes in beaver pelts.

My Side of the Mountain

Twelve-year-old Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in his family’s crowded New York City apartment. One day—armed with just a penknife, a ball of red cord, forty dollars, some flint and steel, and the clothes on his back—he decides to run away to his grandfather’s abandoned farm in the Catskill Mountains, to live in the woods all by
himself. There, Sam must rely on his own ingenuity and the resources of the great outdoors to survive, as he discovers a side of himself he never knew existed.

Dan Frontier

The books follow Dan Frontier, a pioneer who protects settlers, rescues friends from dangers like wolves and wildcats, and interacts with Native Americans on the early American frontier

Grizzly Killer: The Making of a Mountain Man

When Zach Connors and his pa left their Kentucky homestead in the summer of 1824 to see the Rocky Mountains, he didn’t realize he would never see his childhood home again or that he would find love, friendship, fame, and a new home in this wild and harsh wilderness. After a grizzly kills his pa, Zach struggles to survive a cold and brutal winter alone. After killing a rouge grizzly and fighting hostile Indians on his own, he becomes known as Grizzly Killer and is respected throughout the West. Along with his dog, Jimbo, whom the Indians call the Great Medicine Dog, he finds Running Wolf, an injured Ute warrior, and together they fight off a hostile war party. They rescue two Shoshone sisters from the brutality of a French trapper and take them as wives. After Zach saves Running Wolf’s beautiful sister, Shining Star, he is expected to take her as a second wife, but his Christian beliefs conflict with the Indian traditions, and he struggles within himself to
accept the Indian ways

The Mountain Men: The Dramatic History And Lore Of The First Frontiersmen

To know how the West was really won, start with the exploits of these unsung mountain men who, like the legendary Jeremiah Johnson, were real buckskin survivalists. Preceded only by Lewis and Clark, beaver fur trappers roamed the river valleys and mountain ranges of the West, living on fish and game, fighting or trading with the Native Americans, and forever heading toward the untamed wilderness.
