There’s 3 freebies today and they’re all for Green Eggs and Ham.  Up first is A Rainbow of Eggs and Ham, which are a set of 2-part cards.  The color on the plate is matched to the plate of eggs and ham that Sam I Am is holding.

Next is Green Eggs & Ham Counting 0-20 Cards.  These can be used a number of ways as the cards have dots to count, the numeral, and the number word.  Also included is a storage envelope for the cards when not in use.

Finally, there’s the Who Ate the Green Eggs & Ham? game.  This game is played like a couple of other Who Stole games that I’ve created based on the game and song from Super Simple Songs.  This is a fun game to play at home or in the classroom!!

Seuss-icle Day 5: There’s a Wocket in My Pocket!

Today is the 5th day of my “Seuss-icle Followers Contest” and we’re coming to the end of the week already.  If you are a current follower of my Facebook page and/or this blog, please be sure to leave a comment on the sticky post at the top of the page (accessed by clicking the “home” button from the direct link to this post) and let me know you’re a follower to be entered in the contest!!  Please be sure to spread the word and find out other ways you or your friends can enter as well.

ContestEnd-EnjoyFreebies byElaine

This is an item that I was asked to share before the end of my Seuss-icle week was over.  It’s a ffg (file folder game) called There’s a Wocket in My Pocket Color Match Pockets.  You can cut slits in the top of the pockets to insert the color word Wockets that match the color of the pockets.  Or, you can simply just play to match them up.  There’s 2 versions….one is very colorful and will take lots of ink and the other is low ink.  They’re the same, just depends on how much ink you want to use!!

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!!

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!!

Winter Freebie Printables

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted since the new year.  I’ve just been crazy busy getting ready for a big event in my life and I’ve had so much to make sure was ready for my family and my group.  But I’m back for tonight and I’m not just going to share one, but several!!

First up is Winter Kids 3-Part Cards.  These are sort of like a puzzle where you match the number word, the number of snowflakes, and the numeral.  These cards can be found here.  If you click here, you can find Snowflake Shapes.  They’re a set of 2-part cards to match the shape and shape word.  There’s also a storage envelope included.

I also have 2 sets of mirror cards.  The kids will hold a mirror up along the dotted line to finish the image.  This teaches symmetry.  They are Signs of Winter and Winter Fun.  I also have a checkers game that I call Snowball and it’s played just like regular checkers is, but it has a fun winter theme.

There’s Snow Fun Magnified which can be found if you click here.  They will use a magnifying glass to identify the miniature images, then place the full size image of that miniature in the box.  6 Coins Winter Fun can be found in this folder.  This is a set of puzzle cards where the kids add the amount of 6 coins, and then match it to the puzzle card with that amount. 

That’s it for now, but that’s a lot of fun and games for the kids on these cold winter days.  That is, unless you’re warm for this time of year!!  I hope that you and the kids enjoy them.  I’m not sure when I’ll be back with more printable freebies.  I expect I’ll be away for a week, but if all goes well, maybe sooner.

If you use my FREE printables, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the little ones like them….or don’t like them. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below once a day to vote for my blog. I love feedback and create by the input that I receive….thanks!!

Who Is Watching Baby Jesus?

Today is the 20th and final posting of Nativity A Day.  It looks like I missed 3 posting, but I might not be finished for today yet!!  I really enjoyed this challenge, and I hope that you did too.

My offering for today is Who Is Watching Baby Jesus? and it’s played like Who Took the Cookie? and Who Stole Santa’s Elf? that I posted after Thanksgiving.  Players are dealt cards face down and flip one at a time over.  If the player doesn’t have baby Jesus, they say “NOT ME” and play continues on in this manner, one player at a time.  If they do flip over baby Jesus, then they say “IT’S ME” and the game ends.  In this case, the one “watching” baby Jesus is the winner!!  This also includes the box to store the cards in.
