It’s February and It’s Time for Love

There’s no better time to show love than February!  The best way I know to show love to all of you is to have a sale!

Cyber Monday

This year has gone by so fast.  I can’t believe that Thanksgiving has already come and gone.  I hope that you all are doing well and staying healthy.  I’ve been busy creating lots of new activities to help you and your kids with their religious education.  There’s many new things listed at The Treasured Schoolhouse and I hope that if you haven’t already seen them, that you’ll check them out soon.

Since the year has gone by so fast, and we’re past both Thanksgiving and Black Friday, it’s time for Cyber Monday!  Cyber Monday means that it’s time for a sale!  

Cyber Sale up to 25% off

All of The Treasured Schoolhouse stores will be on sale for 20% off on 30 November and 1 December.  Yes….every single resource in my shops are on sale!  You can find The Treasured Schoolhouse at…. 

TeachersPayTeachers – 20% off plus an extra 5% off with code CYBER20

Made by Teachers – 20% off (I had trouble scheduling this one, so I’m not sure if it’s going to work or not.)

Teacher’s Dojo – 20% off

Amazon Ignite – 20% off  (Amazon automatically sets this one, so it starting depends on them.)

I want to tell you about a few new things at The Treasured Schoolhouse….

First, there’s the Our Lady (Marian) series that I’m working on.  When completed, there will be at least one pack per month of activities to do for Marian celebrations.  Currently available are the Queenship of Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Sorrows, and several more!  I’m currently working on Our Lady of Guadalupe for her celebration in December.

Also for December is St. Nicholas Day and I have an activity pack for that.  There’s lots of things for kids of all ages to do.  Last year, I made a similar pack for St. Lucia Day.  Now that they’re both done, there’s a bundle available that include both packs and it’s 20% off the individual prices.  But guess what!?  With the Cyber Monday sale, you can get an additional 20% that already discounted price!

I’ve also been working on some Math Packs.  I made a new one for Halloween with candy corn and one for December/Christmas with candy canes.  I really had fun making those and hope that early learners love them as much as I do!

Some other new materials to note, I finished the “people in the Bible” series.  It now includes Fathers, Mothers, and Children in the Bible.  I love these resources!  I’ve also added to the “family tree” series by adding Noah and Adam.  There’s an Inside the Church Bingo Game and 3-Part Montessori Cards.

So please don’t miss this opportunity to grab some great deals!  I hope that you all have a very Happy and Blessed Holiday Season!

Time for Back to School….and a Sale

Hello all!

I know that it’s been forever since I’ve posted.  I’ve been busy though.  I’m guessing that you all have been as well.  I’m hoping that this finds you healthy and safe.

notebook with TpT back to school sale info

First, the big thing is the site-wide Back to School sale on TpT.  Everything at The Treasured Schoolhouse will be 20% off.  With code BTS20, you can get an extra 5% off.  The sale will be 4-5 August and if you add the code, you’ll get up to 25% off.

In addition to that sale, my shop at Made for Teachers will be on sale as well.  Everything will be 20% off from 4-6 August.  I’ll be adding more resources to The Treasured Schoolhouse at that location in the next couple of days as well.

I’ve been getting to work on adding the digital layer to my resources.  As I said in my last blog post, the digital layer adds a layer to PDFs so that they can be used in Google Classroom.  They aren’t Google Classroom resources, but with this tool, they can be assigned and turned in via that process.  The tool allows the buyer or seller to add answer boxes, and has a pen and highlighter tool.  I’m working on updating my resources so that you don’t have to do it and can easily access them for your Google Classroom needs.  Again, remember that it’s just a layer and not an actual resource type so that you can assign them in that format.  I’m keeping a list of all the resources that I’ve updated.  It states the resource name, how many pages, and in most cases which pages/activities.  You can click here to view the list.  I’ll keep it updated as I add more materials with the layer.  Also, you can still get the PDF and have access to the digital layer!

I think that about covers it for now.  I hope that you have an amazing start to the school year.  Happy shopping!

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.

The Colors of Advent with St. Nicholas cover art

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.  

sample pages of "The Colors of Advent with St. Nicholas"

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!
