Seuss-icle Day 4: The Foot Book

Today is the 4th day of the “Seuss-icle Followers Contest” and I have a couple of new creations for you based on The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss and I hope that you like them!!  Both items are 2-part cards.

ContestEnd-EnjoyFreebies byElaine

First up is Foot Guy Opposites.  These are all words from the book and they’re to be matched up to their opposite word.  Yes, that would be antonyms!!  The other set of 2-part cards is Foot Guy’s Colorful Feet.  For these, Foot Guy has the color word and it’s matched up to that color foot.

Seuss-icle Day 3: Dr. Seuss Writing Centers

For the third day of my “Seuss-icle Followers Contest” week, I have some writing sheets.  They’re not just writing though!!  They also include read, write, stamp, paste, and draw the titles of Dr. Seuss books.  Not all the skills on the same sheets for some variety.

ContestEnd-EnjoyFreebies byElaine

I shared a couple of these in my group and they were a huge hit with Dr. Seuss book titles and/or characters.  I also made a 3rd set that combines the skills on both of the other sets.  These are basically my version of a “write the room” for Seuss activity.  All sets will have “read”, “write”, and “draw”.  One will have “stamp”, one will have “paste” and the last will have “stamp and paste”.

Seuss-icle Problem

Well, there’s a problem here at The Schoolhouse.  I have files ready to be uploaded to 4Shared to share and post for my followers contest.  However, 4Shared isn’t cooperating and I can’t upload a single file.  I’ve tried via the web and desktop.  So now I’m in a bind and I have nothing to share for my first day of the contest. 

Please be patient and I’ll keep trying as the day goes on.  I’ll even put them on a memory stick and try from my daughters computer.  If nothing works, I’ll try each and every day and share more than one thing at a time if I have to.  But mind you, there will be plenty of freebies one way or the other!!

Now, read that top post and follow my blog and/or Facebook page, then leave a comment for each way that you put the word out about the contest for your entry to win the TPT gift certificate!!

Ernie in Color

I’ve had this Ernie printable done for quite some time now.  I kept meaning to make more items with him….and perhaps do some Rubber Duckie too.  Their “birthdays” are quite close to each other and I’ve been trying to make printables for their special days.

I never got that far, so all I have to offer you today is Ernie Label the Color Cards.  They color word is places on the card that matches the color of Ernie’s cute little face.

Here’s a peek at some of the cards….

President’s Day Money Game

This is a ffg (file folder game) that I made prior to the weekend and wanted to get posted, but I just ran out of time.  Hopefully, you’ll still have it on time to use in your classes, save until next year…..or just use it all year long!!

The ffg is Making Money with Washington and Lincoln.  Players roll the die and move that number of spaces around the board.  Landing on a marked space, they must draw a card and with their money, they must make that amount.  All money amounts are using the 2 coins and 2 bills that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are on.  I’ve created several cards with the money amounts, as well as providing the die, money, optional card backs, and complete game.  All you’ll need are player tokens!!

President’s Day

I thought that I’d get this one out early so that there’d be plenty of time to use it!!  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to create anything new for Valentine’s Day which is tomorrow.  That’ll have to be my goal for next year!!

This is President’s Day Sort and it includes the ffg (file folder game) and a worksheet to complete after the game is played.  Actually, I think I geared the worksheet to an older age group than the ffg, but it’d still be a great review.  Also, some of the images, little ones might not recognize.  You can just use the parts that work for you though!!

There are 12 images to sort for each President by placing the image on either the George Washington or Abraham Lincoln mat.  As it’s played, one might notice many similarites between the 2 presidents.  There’s also a worksheet that uses the sorting mat for answers, but also relies on how much the player knows about each of the presidents.  The last one is an essay to tell about similarities or differences between Washington and Lincoln or just to tell what the player knows about them.  The worksheet also has some true/false, short answer and knowledge.  I did include an answer key for the worksheet as well!!

Images and clipart from various internet sources and believed to be public domain.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the parts of this ffg and worksheet set….

Sharing the Love

I know, my posting is few and far between.  Since my surgery, I’m just so much more active and don’t spend the time at the computer that I used to.  Plus with the GigaTribe mess, I just didn’t feel like sharing, much less creating new materials.  I gotta admit that I miss it just a bit though!!

Today, I have a folder of Valentine’s Day printables.  Most of these were made last year.  Some of you might have them, or they might be new to many of you.  Either way, it’s a great set of 9 fun activities for the kids!!

First up is my oldest one in the batch.  It’s Valentine Stamp Pattern worksheets and there’s about 3 pages of pretty stamps to complete the pattern on.  Next is A Heart of Many Colors and it’s a set of 2-part cards for color matching.  Then, I have The Shapes of Love 2-part cards for matching the shape to the shape word.

There’s 2 sets of clothespin cards.  One is Have a Heart and that’s for counting numbers 0-20 and Sweetness & Love is for matching upper case to lower case letters.  I also have a set of Have a Heart mirror cards to work on symmetry and just fun play with a mirror!!

A Time for Love is a set of 2-part cards for telling time.  They are for 5 minute times.  There’s a flipbook called Count on Love for matching the number of objects, the numeral, and the number word from 0-20.  Finally, there’s The Price of Being Love Birds which is a set of 2-part cards for money values.  It’s matching the value of a Valentine’s gift to the correct amount in coins.

Groundhog Day

I’m finally back with some printables to share.  In honor of today being Groundhog Day, I thought I’d break out some of my older creations for this event that haven’t been shared in quite some time.

There are 2 puzzles.  The “Daily Nooz” is 9 pieces and the groundhog puzzle is 24 pieces

There is also a groundhog memory game that includes clipart and images of groundhogs and Groundhog Day.

Finally, there’s Groundhog Playground, which is a file folder game (ffg) that can be played just for fun on Groundhog Day, or even all winter long.  If you swap out the cards that are included and replaced them with some of your own, you could use the game to work or review a certain skill that the kids are working on.

All clipart and images are from internet sources and believed to be public domain.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the elements of the Groundhog Day printables….

If you’re interested in these Groundhog Day activities, please just…..

Update

I wanted to give everyone a quick update because I know it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything here.  I’m 2 weeks post-op now and doing great.  I’m taking the full time that I need and happy with the way things are working out.  I’m really excited to be a healthier me!!

I haven’t created anything new at all.  I hope to soon, but just don’t know.  My props have been knocked out from under me with my name being slandered on GigaTribe and still finding my free printables there.  I’ve asked for them to be removed so many times and it’s like a broken record.  Unfortunately, these educators (teachers and homeschool parents) feel that they’re entitled and have literally said that.  They don’t think that they have to follow the rules and can share whatever they want with whoever they want.

They just don’t get the kind of damage that it’s all caused.  Then again, they don’t care.  So right now, my focus is on me because when I do come back, I’ll be 100%!!  Please be continue to be patient and continue to follow along.  It’s my amazing readers and followers like you….and my fantastic group members….that are the reason why I’ll get through this and find my way back to creating again. 

Thanks for all the well-wishes and support.  I’ll keep in contact and God willing, I’ll be creating again soon!!
