Letter of the Week: Mm

The current Letter of the Week is Mm.  This year, I created magnet sheets and added 2 more writing practice sheets. For the magnet sheets, I used monkey and magnet.  I’m still new to making these, so I hope that you like them!!  For the writing practice sheets, I used milk and mittens.  I did create those with both fonts….ZB and DN.

Here’s a thumbnail collage of what I added to Letter of the Week this year…..

As well as the new items, the folder also contains the items that I made last year.  It  includes writing practice sheets, Play-Doh mats, and a My Letter Mm Book in both fonts. There’s also a set of letter tile mats.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  I created these for my Y!Group for our “letter of the week” for the previous school year.  Members started asking that I include a word list so that the kids can self-check themselves.  When I posted this, I forgot to include the word list.  It’s now included and while I was at it, I added several more word tile cards.  So if you’ve downloaded this, please download the new version so that you have the most updated file!!

Letter of the Week: Aa

Since school has started for most or will be starting very soon, my Y!Group has resumed with it’s “letter of the week”.  Since I create things to go with our current letter, I wanted to share them here as well.

Our first Letter of the Week is Aa.  This year, I’ve created magnet sheets and added 2 more writing practice sheets.  For the magnet sheets, I used apple and ant.  It was my first experience making these and it was rather fun!!  For the writing practice sheets, I used award and artist.  I did create those with both fonts….ZB and DN.

Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids – Upper Case

My family and I had a movie marathon today.  In between times, I created this new game.  It’s Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids and works on the skill of matching lower case letter to the uppper case letter.

I didn’t place the upper case letters in alphabetical order on the game board because I know how well kids are at memorizing them!!  The player will place a lower case pumpkin letter token on the upper case letter pumpkin patch kid.  This should make for a fun autumn game and keep the kids busy for awhile!!

Here’s a collage of the some of the parts of this game…..

If you’re interested Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids, please just…..

If you use this ffg, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it and also, if you’d like to see a lower case game.  I’d appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).  I love feedback….thanks!!

Let’s Have a Picnic!!

July is National Picnic Month.  It starts off the perfect way and the perfect time for a picnic.  And that great start is Independence Day!!  What’s better than celebrating the 4th of July with a cookout or picnic by the lake.

I’ve created a couple items to help celebrate National Picnic Month and get us ready for bbq-ing this summer and church picnics!!  First, there’s Ants on a Picnic Number Mats and we all know how pesky those ants can be!!  Ants are sorted onto the mats by the number indicated on the picnic basket.  You won’t be annoyed by these cute little ants though!!

Next, there’s 2 sets of Picnic Alphabet Writing Strips.  There’s a set for upper case….and a set for lower case.  I also made a sequencing puzzle called Sequence Teddy Bear’s Picnic.  It’s made from an adorable picture and they place the strips in order to complete the puzzle.

Finally, there’s some shadow matching cards.  These are What’s in the Picnic Basket? Shadow Match Cards.  There’s an image on the plate and it must be matched to the shadow of that image on the picnic basket.  What do you think it inside the picnic basket??

Here’s a sample collage of some of the pages….
