New and Expanding

I’m back for an update and some news! First I want to start off by saying that I’ve temporarily closed down my Shop here at The Treasured Schoolhouse. I do intend to reopen it, but it’ll be a couple of months. It was taking too long to do my updates, so I decided instead of letting it looks messy and only half complete, that I’d just close it and get things back on track. I expect with the holidays here, that it will take some time and I can do it little by little this way. I do have other locations where you can shop The Treasured Schoolhouse though and I hope that you’ll take the opportunity to visit me at those locations.

I’m happy to announce that Amazon has started a new Digital Educational Resources section on their site. You will now be able to find resources from The Treasured Schoolhouse there!

This new digital educational resources area of Amazon is called Ignite. I’m honored to say that I was part of the beta testing process and am now part of the marketplace. The Treasured Schoolhouse is one of the featured sellers, among many other great educational goods stores. I hope that you’ll be sure to check out The Treasured Schoolhouse on Amazon Ignite! If you’d like to visit, just click on the logo above.

Finally, I’ve added a new resource to the Subscriber’s Only page. This one is a simple game for Christmas to celebrate the nativity. The password is included in the newsletter and if you haven’t subscribed yet to the newsletter, please do. You can request to subscribe on the sidebar of this blog or by going Home. I have plans to add at least one more resource before Christmas, but I haven’t decided if it’ll be a Subscriber Only or for everyone, so keep an eye out!

St. Nicholas and Advent

I can’t believe that it’s almost time for Advent already. I’m starting to do my prep for my class and I like to do a simple activity with them to teach them the basic colors of Advent.

This year I decided to tie my introduction in with St. Nicholas. It’s just as simple activity where they’ll each get a little card with the colors of each week and they have to color the card. I’m giving this to all of you as a FREEbie in hopes that it’ll help introduce Advent into your setting as well. Also included is a color version in case you just want to pass that out instead.

The cards really are perfect for any age level or even to pass out in church as an introduction to Advent. And who doesn’t love St. Nicholas? I hope that you enjoy and are a help to you. If you’re interested in these cards, just click to….

Thanks for reading and see you soon!

Updating

Hello all!!

I know it’s been forever since I’ve done a blog post. I feel horrible because when I get busy, this is the first thing that seems to fall aside for me. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of you for sticking by me and The Treasured Schoolhouse. You are the BEST and I know it!!

This is just basically going to be an update as to what’s going on and what you can expect to be happening around here. First I’m starting with updating all the freebies that are on the blog. Many of them haven’t been available for quite some time for various reasons. I’m going to update them and make them usable again. I’m not going to work on them in any certain order, but I hope to get to all of them in somewhat of a timely manner. The exception will be those that are Seuss, Disney, and other characters like those. I’ve learned a lot over time and I fully understand now that those are in violation and won’t ever be available again. They were also the first I deactivated when I found out how serious of an issue it is. We all learn and grow….or we should!!

Next up is The Treasured Schoolhouse Shop. I’m still getting random orders despite there being no photos or real store front. I want to work on getting those images back up and make the resources fully available. The good thing is that other than the “Exclusive” materials, everything can be purchased on the other marketplaces where I sell my resources.

The “Subscriber Only” page will be getting some additions as well. I’m thinking that this will be a slow process as I really want to get the blog freebies updated. It’s hard to work on new and old at the same time. However, there will be some new materials coming to that page and hopefully soon as I truly appreciate all of you who have subscribed and joined my mailing list.

I think that about covers everything. It’s going to be a long process, but it WILL happen. If there’s anything that you’ve been wanting and it’s not available, please let me know and I’ll work on those first. See you next time!!
