B is for Bible

This is the second week of my religion class and another new page for the Bible ABC’s.  I’ve created my own alphabet page for each letter. The images are hand-drawn by my wonderful husband. I added letter writing and the word from the Bible. This is the second one and is “B is for Bible”.

Here’s a thumbnail view of of the page….

The coloring book image was drawn by my husband and is © The Schoolhouse and © Commotion.

Every week, probably on Thursday if time permits, I’ll be posting the newest alphabet page. There will be one for each letter and they will end at the end of our CCD school year.

Meep!!

I had a request in my group for some printable activities for Beaker.  Beaker is one of the Muppets and he’s most seen in the science lab with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.  He always says “MEEP”!!

The things that I created for Beaker are pretty standard.  There’s a set of 4 9-piece jigsaw puzzles.  I also made a set of “label the color” cards.  Finally, there’s a Beaker tic-tac-toe game with a couple options for the tokens to play with.

Here’s a thumbnail of some of the pages….

Letter of the Week: Aa

It’s time to start Letter of the Week in my Y!Group and this year, we’ve decided to do the alphabet in order.  That means that Aa is first up!!

I’ve created several new materials to go with Letter of the Week.  The first item is for a writing center.  The sheet contains the activities of color, circle, stamp, glue, draw, and trace the letter.  This comes in  ZB and DN font.  Next is what I’m calling “Fancy Letters”.  It’s all sorts of letter a’s and they must be sorted on the mats by upper case or lower case.

The final activity is what I’m calling my “letter formation skills”.  These can be downloaded separately, but I’m grouped them together because they all work on skills using the current letter.  There is a letter lacing  for upper and lower case.  There’s also a do-a-dot mat.  One could also just color them, use stickers, or a number of other things.  I’ve made a letter formation mat that has the poem on how to form the letter and is large for tracing the dotted letter.  (This idea originated when I was asked if I could create something like what Confessions of a Homeschooler has, so I made it my own.  The letter formation poem is from Little Giraffes.)  Finally, there is a 4-piece puzzle for the upper and lower case letter.

There’s also many previously released printables in the folder.  It includes a set of Play-Doh mats, 2 writing sheets, and a “My Letter Aa Book”.  All of these printables come in both ZB and DN font.  There’s a set of letter tile mats in there also.  The last item is a set of magnet sheets in upper and lower case.

Here’s a thumbnail view of new pages….

All images are from internet sources and believed to be public domain.  Other images are from personal sources and used with permission.

A is for Angel

Yesterday was the first day of the Religious Education (CCD) class that I teach.  Every year, my arrival/warm-up activity is a Biblical alphabet coloring page.  This lets the kids arrive and get seated, then start on a little busy work while I take role and collect folders.  For the most part in the 6 years that I’ve taught this class, I’ve rotated a couple books that I purchased.  This year is different!!

I’ve created my own alphabet page.  The images are hand-drawn by my wonderful husband.  I added letter writing and the word from the Bible.  The first one is “A is for Angel”.

Counting Apples

Since this month starts fall/autumn and I had a request in my group, I decided to get a jump on it and start making things to share.  The request was for some counting mats with apples.

I’ve come up with Counting Apples for the Apple Tree and I went with the number word on the tree and the numeral on the basket.  That number of apples will be placed on the mat.  This activity will work on a couple of skills for little ones.  These mats are for counting 0-25.

ARG!! It’s a Pirate’s Treasure, Matey!!

I’m just so overwhelmed with lesson plans that I haven’t created nearly as much as I wanted to.  However, I took a break long enough today to have a little fun with these adorable pirates.

This is a set of 3-part cards.  The numeral on the pirate’s map is matched to that number of jewels and the number word on the treasure chest.  ARRGGGG!!  There’s a bounty to be had by all mateys!!

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the pirate’s treasure….

Patriotic Calendar and Desk Sets

It’s almost time to go “back to school”, so this week, I’ll be creating and sharing things to use in the classroom (or at home) as we all head back in that direction.  Most will be calendar sets in a variety of color themes, but if time permits, I’ll also be making some other materials.

I call this first set patriotic because I used a red, white, and blue background.  It’s a great background with all the patriotic colors in a fun swirl.

The calendar set includes dates 1-31 with extras like “no school”, “birthday”, and a couple of others.  There’s also a set of numerals for 32-100 for those that use your calendars as a 100’s chart.  There’s also all 12 months of the year, as well as years from 2012 to 2017, so you can use this set for years to come!!  Finally, there’s a set of days to use on their own or use with the yesterday was, today is, and tomorrow will be cards.

In the desk set is a set of cubbie tags and desk plates.  Both include a blank for you to use as needed.  There’s also a 1-100 counting chart.  I also made a set of “home tags” which list several methods that the children go home.  These can be attached to the desk, used as a neck tag, or attached to the backpack.  Had my daughters teacher used these in 1st grade, I wouldn’t have had to be panicked when my daughter didn’t get off the bus!!  Finally, there’s some incentive sheets.  These are larger in size and can be used for behavior, reading, returning homework, or a number of other things.

Here’s a thumbnail view of what the calendar set looks like….

NOTE:  Some of these files are very large in size.  I apologize if they download slow.  I’m not sure why they’re so large when there’s no graphics and only a background.

Ice Cream Cones

I thought that I’d cool things down today since it’s so hot outside!!  These are a couple of printables that I made last year and thought that it was time to share them.

First up is a set of 2-part cards for color matching.  The scoop of ice cream is matched to the color word on the card.  For all of them, I used actual ice cream flavor images  to make these.  One of them is sherbert, but I couldn’t find ice cream!!

The next item is a set of mats for matching contractions to their words.  There’s a total of 5 mats that can be used separately or together.  The ice cream scoop has the contraction, and the mat has the cones with the contraction words.

Clipart and graphics from personal source.  Some also from internet sources and believed to be public domain or samples and copyright/watermark remains in tact.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the ice cream cone printables….

Curious George

I’m sorry for my long absence of not sharing any freebies.  I just haven’t been making much.  It saddens me to say that my FREE printables are showing up all over GigaTribe again.  No matter how many times I ask that people remove them, they just flat out refuse.  I have no inspiration to continue creating materials if they’re going to constantly be abused and no respect shown toward me.  For pity sakes, I offer them for FREE!!  All they have to do is join my group or visit my blog to get them and NOT put them on Giga.  It’s pretty simple really!!

CuriousGeorge & BigHatAnyway, I’m back today with some materials for Curious George.  He was recently a theme in my group and I wanted to share with you what I made for them.  Not to worry though, I have plans for some reader exclusives!!

There is a set of 5×7 alphabet posters that were requested by one of my members.  There’s also a set of alphabet flashcards that have the upper and lower case letter on them.  They can definitely be used as more than just flashcards!!

You’ll also find a set of puzzles that feature horizontal and vertical lines, as well as triangles and squares.  Finally, there’s a magnification game that has the covers of Curious George’s 8×8 size books.  This one is a fun challenge, since some of the covers show very little difference between them!!
