Alphabet Maze – Letter Aa

Well here I am, ready to do my first post and share on my brand NEW blog!! I know that right now, it still looks pretty much the same. I haven’t decided if I want to get a new format or not. I sort of like the simplicity of this one and how well it works for what the focus of this blog is. We’ll see as I learn and grow!!

My first freebie for you is a letter maze. It was requested by a member in my group that I make a set of these, so I told her that I’d gladly do it for our Letter of the Week this school year. This time there’s 2 mazes…..one to help the ant get to the ant hill and one to find the apples the fell from the apple tree. Follow the upper and lower case letter through the maze to get to the other end!!

Here’s a thumbnail view of the pages….

School Bus Colors

I was on a roll posting again, then a busy summer happened!! I’m hoping to be back, at least enough to post a little more frequent. My goal is once a week, if not twice. We’ll see how that goes!! HAHA We go back to HOMESCHOOL in a week and half. Can’t believe it’s that time already!!

Today, I have a couple sets of label cards. They’re perfect for back to school with a cute school bus. The first set is a blank set where the color of the bus is labeled with the appropriate color word. The second set is already labeled with the color word and is for matching the label to the color word.

Here’s a sample of each type of card….

Blogoversary #2

Today marks this blog being 2 years old. I can’t believe it’s been that long already!! I remember people thinking that I was crazy for starting another blog, but I really felt that all my printables needed to be separate from my daily life blog. I stand by that as I mark today’s blogoversary!!

I always like to give a few stats on an ocassion like this. It’s fun to see where the blog has come from, where it’s at, and where it’s going. So without further ado, here’s some stats for my 2nd blogoversary…..

I’ve had 89,760 views with 327 comments. The best day ever was 968 views. There’s 189 posts with 33 categories and 1,800 tags. My followers include 56 blog, 8 comments, 163 Twitter, and 76 Facebook. The Schoolhouse has been shared 131 times in media like Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, and so on. The top shared post is “F is for Fiery Furnace”. There has been 7,182 spam comments blocked.

Pet Vet

In my group, one of our summer themes is prop boxes. Dramatic play is so important in the development of children. My daughter loved all things “grown up” and would play all sorts of these dramatic play things.

One of her favorites was playing vet, which she still intends to be!! I made to exam sheets or record sheets for her. One was made in 2009 and one in 2010. Yes, she was still playing “grown up” just a couple years ago. She had a cash register (real one), so she loved to do anything and everything with it. She loved to ring up her customers!!

Anyway, these are 2 of the sheets that I made for her and I want to share them with you to use for your little ones. Each one has a choice of type of animal, reason for visit, and pet’s name. After that they differ and can be used for different functions. I hope that your kids get as much enjoyment as my daughter did!!

Alpine Animals

My group is working it’s way through each habitat/biome and the animals that live there. This has been really informative and fun. This is the second set of cards in the set that I’m making for each habitat/biome. The first set was for rainforest animals.

This set is for alpine animals. I found some new ones that I didn’t know belonged. It’s been educational for me making these as it is for the kids to use them!! These cards are Montessori inspired and use real images. They can be used for flashcards, 3-part cards, or many other things.

Here’s a thumbnail view of one of the pages with cards….

Mrs. Wishy Washy

Yes, I’m finally back!! I know I haven’t posted in forever, but it’s just been plain busy. I needed to take a break from blogging and focus on other things, but I’ve had so much going on, that getting caught up or relaxing wasn’t even part of it. I’m here now though!!

I had a member of my group ask me to make some printable for Mrs. Wishy Washy and I was happy to do that for her. She’s a great lady and I consider her an online friend. There’s one more thing that she’d like me to make, but not sure if or when I’ll get to it. If I do, it’ll be a set of jigsaw puzzles for little hands.

But, for now, I have these to share with you all!! There’s a set of alphabet flashcards and alphabet match 2-part card where upper case is matched to lower case. I also made a set of kindergarten Dolch sight word flashcards.

You’ll also find a pull and retell the story printable. It’s one of my favorites!! There’s also a set of characters that can be used for stick puppets or felt story pieces. Finally, there’s a set of word wall cards with all the characters and items from the story.

If you’re interested in any of these printables, please just click on the Mrs. Wishy Washy book cover above to be taken to the download folder.

NOTE: Mrs. Wishy Washy is written by Joy Cowley and is illustrated by Elizabeth Fuller. I in no way lay claim to the book, the characters, or anything else pertaining to Mrs. Wishy Washy. These printables are not for profit and are for educational purposes only!!

Rainforest Animals

We just had a month long theme in my group for habitats. Additionally, monthly we having animals by biome. This week we focused on rainforest animals. I decided to make some rainforest animal cards.

These cards have many uses. They are Montessori inspired and I used images of real animals. The cards could be used for flashcards. Or, they could be 3-part cards where you print out 2 sets and cut one of them apart and match them up to the full card. They could also be used for memory match or a number of other ways.

All the cards are the same format. Here’s a thumbnail view of one of the cards….

Looking for Dr. Seuss??

Are you looking for printables to use in your classroom, at home, or in your daycare to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss?? Maybe you just want some fun activities to keep the kids busy on the weekend or after school. No matter the reason, I have what you need!!

I have lots of free printables to share with you. In some of the links that I’m about to post, you might find some duplicates, but many won’t be. Just take your time and browse around!!

On my blog, Commotion from the Ocean of Life, you’ll find a bunch of stuff for “Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss“. Once upon a time, that’s where I used to share all my printables that I created!!

Next, some of you might remember the “Seuss-icle Followers Contest” that I held right here on this blog. This contest lasted a week and I offered freebies each day. Here you can find each of those posts and see just what I offered each day.

With luck and time, I’ll be creating some new materials this week. Things have just been crazy busy and I’m barely keeping my head above the water right now!! Keep your eyes open though and hopefully you’ll see something new featuring Dr. Seuss coming your way!!
