This is a set of 2-part cards featuring -oo- words.  They come from various word families using the -oo- and some are long or short vowel sounds.  The image of the -oo- word is matched to the -oo- word.  See how fast and well they can be matched before the Oobleck gets you!!

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!!

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!!

New Year …. New Direction

I want to wish all my readers, followers, and those who use my printables, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  I hope that you have a blessed 2012.

With a new year comes new directions and some changes.  This is so true for me!!  It’s also true for my blog and the things that I create.  I will still continue to create and share my educational and Christian printables, but I’m adding to my portfolio.  I’m going to start to create printables for the home, party supplies, gifts, and items like those.  I feel that it’s time for my to broaden my horizons.  I don’t think that any of you will be disappointed by what I share and I think it will bring in a wider range of viewers to my blog.

My first new offering for the new year is a set of checkbook cover art.  This is a set of 4 different ones.  The checkbook cover art are inserted inside the clear plastic covers.  I’ve had one of these covers for years and my insert if wearing out and I’ve often wanted to change it out.  I measured them for the clear cover that I have, but some might vary slightly in size even though they’re pretty standard in size.  In that instance, I’d just trim off the borders to help them fit better.

Lil Eskimos Calendar Set

I’m finally back with a new printable to share.  This is a calendar set that features the most adorable little Eskimos.  It was really fun to get back creating again and I hope that you can use it.

The set includes dates, with a few extras and all the months.  There’s also years starting with 2012 and going to 2017.  Lastly, there’s “yesterday was”, “today is”, and “tomorrow will be” complete with the days to fill in the slots.
