New and Updated

Hello all!

I just want to give you some updates about what’s been going on. Since I posted that I was updating some of the FREEbie resources on the site, I’ve been busy scouring to find the original documents. The first day, I was able to do quite a few and I posted those updates below the post.

I’ve gone through the site and I’ve added “image not available” to many of the posts because I wasn’t able to easily find the original pictures or replace them with something similar. I’m not done though, as I have other back-up drives that I can dig out. It’s just going to be a timely process. Obviously, I haven’t found all my original files either.

Just a reminder that some of the resources are no longer on the blog as I’ve removed them and added them to my store. Not all of them, of course. Hopefully when I’m done with this, you’ll still have a great choice of FREEbies.

One thing that I want to do is try to find some balance with what I offer. Right now, I tend to add whatever extra FREEbies that I have to the Resource Library that is just for my newsletter subscribers. That said, there’s not even as many in there as I’d like there to be. So that’s where my balance comes in….adding some to the site and some to the Library.

With all that said, I do come bearing gifts. This is an old file that I found and the best that I could tell, I haven’t shared it anyplace (except maybe my old Y!Group). I left the original date on it, but I did update it and make it “prettier” so that I could share it with you. My, I’ve come a long way in creating resources! HAHA This FREEbie is a simple set of concentration or memory match cards for Communion. It’s various images of the Body of Christ. I hope that you can use and enjoy this little game. Oh, did I mention that it has a storage box for the cards too? If you’d like to download it, just….

I won’t always be able to post that I’ve updated something, so if you’re looking for something in particular just keep an eye on that post or leave a comment about what you’re needing. You can also reach out to me on social media or e-mail.

Updating Files

Hello all!

I think I’m sticking to my once a month posting pretty well. I’m pretty sure that I’ve missed a month here or there, but for me, that’s good! HAHA

I’m just here today to let you know that I’m working on updating some of my free resources that I share on this blog. I hope to add some to the Free Resource Library for subscribers, but I don’t know if I’ll get that far. My objective is to get many of the freebies that were here on the blog back on the blog. It’s true that some won’t be back because I updated them so that I could sell them. However others just plain got old or where I was hosting them, they got lost. There’s other things that happened too. Some things I learned couldn’t be shared, even for free (that might be for trademark, copyright, or something else). Those won’t be back, but I’m hoping to fix up many of the other files and get them someplace safe and secure where I won’t lose them again.

This project has been a long time coming. I’ve made attempts to start it before and then work or life….and they just didn’t get done. I was doing some updates the other day and realized how “old” some of the blog posts looked or how empty they were. I had missing images, missing files, and things that needed help! So, I’m here to help.

Please don’t expect this to be done quickly, as it will take time. I plan to devote as much time as possible for the rest of March to this and then continue after that. I don’t really have a way of letting you all know what’s been updated. If there’s something that you’ve looked for and it wasn’t there or unavailable, please let me know and I’ll try to work on that first. Again, please remember that I have lost files over the years and some I’m just now allowed to post for various reasons.

I hope that you all are well and that Spring has moved into the area where you live. I’m not a fan of winter at all and I dislike the cold, so this has been such a welcome change for me! Keep your eyes out for updated posts and files!

A New Subscriber FREEbie

I know that it’s been forever and I appreciate all of you that continue to support and follow The Treasured Schoolhouse. I don’t know why, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to keep up with my blog. Actually, I don’t seem to be good at much on social media!

This year, I’m teaching my religion class via ZOOM. It’s been interesting to say the least. Since I have Kindergarten, I’m sending packets home to the parents for the students to work on. It’s gone pretty well so far. I do have a couple kids that have never shown up. It has been a challenge to get the copies run and in the mail on time for the classes though, so I decided that I was going to do one huge pack for the rest of the year! I was a couple lesson short, so I decided I’d create something for them to do.

What I came up with what the parable of The Lost Sheep. I made everything that I’ll need for class. The best part, I’m sharing it with my newsletter subscribers ONLY! All verses in the pack are based on New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE) of the Bible. This pack includes:

Word Search
Maze
Copywork for Matthew 18:10 and Luke 15:7 to print and trace
Coloring Pages for Matthew 18:12-13 and Luke 15:5-6
Answer Keys for Word Search and Maze

If you’d like to get this pack, you can go to the Home page or the right sidebar to subscribe to my newsletter. You’ll receive the password in the confirmation e-mail, so please be sure to confirm in order to have access to the Subscriber Only page!

Thanks again for following along, no matter how much or low little it is. I appreciate you more than you know!

Our Father

Do you work with your kids on their prayers? Learning and even memorizing prayers can be hard for children to do.

A few years ago, I had made a sequencing mat to put the Our Father in order. This helps children learn the proper order of the prayer. A reader asked me if I still had this available and sadly I had to tell her “no”. Well that didn’t make me happy, so I went digging through a very old back-up drive and found it! I was able to make a slight update to it and I’m able to share it with you all!

If you’re interested in this sequencing mat, Just click on the cover image above to download it. I hope that this helps your kids and makes it fun for them to learn the Our Father.

Creation

Last night was the first night back to class. I was excited to meet my new kiddos and get back to religious education.

I always start with creation because well, that’s where we started. So much time is spent on rules, what’s expected, homework, prayers, and so on, that the lesson needs to be fairly simple. I break creation down over a couple of lessons and classes. Yesterday, I read the story of creation to them from the Bible. I stop after each day to review what was created that day.

Then, we did a cut & paste worksheet that I made for class. It’s a mat that has each day and what was created on it. So they start off by coloring what was created each day.

Next, we cut out all the different days.

Then, we glued them onto the mat and placed them in their boxes.

Here’s the final project!!

creation-6 — So happy with our first project!

The kids had a blast!! I have a freebie for you, so that your kids can have a blast as well. If you click on the image below, you can download the simple color version of this project. I hope that the kids enjoy!!

Also, this project is available for purchase in my shop. It’s available in color and black & white, plus it has a little bit “fancier” borders on the mat. If you’re interested in purchasing this creation activity worksheet, please just click here to view this exclusive item or just click below to add it to your cart.

NOTE: This is the Catholic version based on the New American Standard (Revised Edition). This is the Bible that I use in my classroom….

My Lenten Promise Activity

I know that I haven’t had anything special for you all lately. Now that I’m starting my blog on my own domain, I think it’s time to get back on track!! I have something for all of you, my loyal readers and followers.

This is a freebie for Lent. I know we’re now into Holy Week, so there’s not much time left to use this. However, it’s a great activity for the religious classroom or at home with the family. This is a set of journal pages or a writing activity. They come in 2 types of lines for a variety of ages/grades.

You can write your promises on the lines for each aspect of Lent….prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It can be done daily, weekly, or just once during the Lent season.

If you’re interested in this activity, please just click to….

Enjoy!!
