New and Expanding

"new" button - round blue

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!

Amazon Ignite logo

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!

Taking Longer Than Expected

construction sign and tape

I just thought that I would pop on with a quick message to update you all about what’s going on. 

Construction Zone sign

Well, basically it’s nothing!  Updating my site after moving to a new host is taking way longer than expected.  Really most of it is done, but I haven’t been able to get all my images uploaded.  I’ve just had so much going on that I’ve had little time to devote to adding the images.  On top of that, it’s very time consuming to try to find all the missing images.

I truly appreciate you all being so patient and sticking by even though you rarely hear from me.  I couldn’t ask for better followers!  I’ll be coming up with something for you all soon so that I can say “thank you” in a proper way.  In the meantime, I’m honestly doing my best, but you know how life can be.

Take care and I hope that you’re having as beautiful of a Spring as we are here!

Teacher Appreciation FREEbies

heart apple graphic with "teacher appreciation week"

Once again this year, many clipartists are offering FREE clipart or other items for Teacher Appreciation Week. We couldn’t create the resources that we do without all the hard work from the artists for the wonderful clipart that they make. Their work is truly amazing!

Teachers are pretty amazing too, no matter where they teach and no matter if they’re in the classroom or at home (or another setting).

This is a free printable available at BitsyCreations.  Alternate version here.

 

Below, you will find a list of the Teacher Appreciation FREEbies that are available.  Some you can only get for a limited time and some will always be free.  There is a variety of items, but most is clipart.  They are showing their appreciation, so be sure to show yours as well by leaving these wonderful people some feedback!

Also, this is the first day, so I’ll be adding to this list.  Many of these sellers also offer something each day of Teacher Appreciation week, so since today is only Monday, be sure to check back at their store to see if they’ve offered anything else.

Here are the Teacher Appreciation Week FREEbies….

Lovely Jubblies Teach:  Teacher Appreciation Week Freebies (includes those previously shared)

Silly O Designs:  teeny token of appreciation

I will continue to add to this list until the end of the week as I find new FREEbies available, so be sure to check back.  You can also check out my post from last year, FREE Clipart for Teacher Appreciation Week, to find those resources that might still be available.  If you know of anyone that is offering anything for Teacher Appreciation Week, please let me know because I’d be happy to add them to the list!

The Number of Pennies is….

HA!! I’m going to make you wait a minute. I want to thank everyone who participated in this fun little guessing game. I enjoyed seeing the responses here on the blog, Instagram, and my Facebook page.

Now onto the pennies!!  There were 2,773 pennies in the jar.  That makes it $27.73 total, depending on the answer you gave.  Some did a count and some did a dollar amount.  Anyway, the winner is….

Cindy Braswell

Her guess was the closest here on the blog with $25.38 for the value of the pennies.  Congratulations Cindy!!  Please leave a comment for this blog post with the item that you’d like from The Treasured Schoolhouse up to a $5 value.  You can look at the Shop here (use the menu at the top of the blog) or you can check out my TPT store.  Just tell me the name of the printable and be sure to leave your e-mail address so I can send it to you.

Thanks again to everyone who played alone and participated in this little fun post!!
