The Nativity from 0 – 30

Today is my second day of Nativity A Day and I have another new creation for you.  This free nativity printable is a game for number order from 0-30.  The player will fill in the missing spaces on the game board with the correct number.  The Nativity from 0 – 30 is a one player game for quiet time, lesson re-enforcement, review, or any other way that will help you and the little ones numbers and counting.

An Update

Please go to this post at my family blog to find out why I’ve been missing in action and not posting as many free printables as usual.  I figured it would be easier to link up there than to try to type it all out again.

Because of the crazy week I had, I wasn’t able to get my Letter of the Week materials created or updated.  If at all possible, I’m going to work on it this weekend, but time will tell.  As soon as things smooth out, I promise to get back to creating and sharing.

Thanks for standing by and continuing to follow along.  I appreciate you being here and waiting for new new printable!!

New Blog Look

I know it seems like I disappeared without a word, and I apologize.  Things got really busy around here.  On top of that, I was fighting a cold and it ended up getting the best of me.  I’m very much on the mend and feeling really good.  Things are just still busy and I’m playing catch-up now.

I realize that I’m behind on my “letter of the week” posts.  That’s alright though because they’ll just go longer this way!!  There will be one posted on Monday like usual.  I also had more Halloween items to post and never got to it and I didn’t even share them in my groups.  Guess I have a head start on next year!!

I’m sure you can see by looking at my blog that it has a new look.  I’m really happy with how it’s looking right now.  I think it looks so much more like I’ve always wanted it.  I made the header myself!!  I hope that you enjoy the new format of the blog and really like the way it looks while you’re visiting.

Well, I think that about covers it!!  If time permits, I’ll have something over the weekend, and if not, I’ll be back Monday with “letter of the week”.  Take care until then!!

My First Give-Away!!

I’m so excited to announce that my blog is hosting its first ever give-away!!  This give-away is sponsored by Amanda of A-Manda Creation .  She’s provided the “grand prize”, which is a $10 gift certificate to her store!!  Amanda also provided the kit, Time to Rhyme,  used to make the FREE printables for this give-away strictly as a promotion.  The kit that she let me use is Dr. Seuss based.  Her kits are personal use ONLY!!  She’s a wonderful and friendly lady to work with and I’m so honored that she’s letting me host this give-away featuring one of her products, as well as the “grand prize”.

Every person that enters will receive their choice from 1 of 3 FREE educational printables that I’ve made just for this event.  At the end of the give-away, I will draw a random number (based on how many comments/entries there are) and that person will receive the $10 gift certificate to A-Manda Creation.  The drawing for the winner will be held 29 September at 12pm (CST) and the winner will be announced via blog post at that time.

Requests

I use this blog to post things that I create for classroom, homeschool, or really anyone who loves kids and likes to keep them having fun while learning.  I’m sure that everyone that has visited this blog or my family life blog knows that.  What you might not know is that I also take requests.  Sometimes I draw a blank on what’s new or what to create.  

To fill the “void”, I do accept requests.  If you see something that you’d like, but want it in a different theme, just let me know.  If there’s something you need for a lesson like a game or worksheet, you can just tell me and I’ll see what I can do.  I can make just about anything to suit your needs.  The only thing that I ask is that you give me sufficient time to create it.  As you know, life tends to step in and I can’t always just create something with last minute notice.

I will say, often the only time I can’t create something is if I don’t have graphics readily available.  Since my printables are free and we’re a single income family, I can’t always buy what’s needed.  That said, I generally have whatever graphics I do need, but it has happened a couple times that I didn’t.

So please, if you like my printables for home or school, but I don’t have exactly what you need, just contact me.  I might already have it made, just not shared on the blog….or I can create it!!  If you’d like to make a request (or have questions/comments/concerns/suggestions), click the “Contact The Schoolhouse” button in the right hand column of this page.  That will open up a comment form.  Just fill in the required information, click “send” and it’ll come right to my inbox!!  I’ll reply to you as soon as possible and let you know if I can fulfill your request or just answer your questions/comments.

I look forward to seeing what YOU need or want to see on my blog!!

Travel Fun & Games

I know that summer is quickly coming to an end, but you can’t tell it by the temperatures here!!  There’s also lots of people out there taking their family vacations or visiting family and friends.  To keep the kids busy in the car, I’ve created a couple simple printable activities.

Last year, I made a Travel Bingo game where the objects can be marked off as you find them on the trip.  There’s also calling cards, that someone could use to call off objects or they could be cut apart and the players draw objects….until BINGO is yelled!!

There’s a set of Travel Word Games where words are made from travel phrases.  There’s 4 different ones!!  I also made 2 versions of tic-tac-toe with a travel theme.  Finally, there’s a set of maps to choose from to color the states (or countries) that you visit or travel through on your summer journeys.

I have 2 more games in the works, but I don’t know if I’ll get them done or not.  Well, I will, it’s just a matter of when!!  Just so many things going on right now and I’m trying to keep up with it all.  Please check back to THIS post to see if there’s an update for me finishing up creating them.  If it’s not posted by Sunday, then I got overwhelmed and I’m not sure when they’ll be complete!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the items for travel fun & games….

If you’re interested in the travel fun & games printables, please just…..

UPDATE:  There is a new set of 9-piece jigsaw puzzles with a variety of cute and fun travel pictures.  There’s 4 puzzles in the set. 

If you’re going on vacation, taking a trip someplace, visiting family, or going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it.  I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).
