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

blue update key on dark keyboard

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

blue update button on keyboard

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!

St. Nicholas and Advent

I can’t believe that it’s almost time for Advent already.  I’m starting to do my prep for my class and I like to do a simple activity with them to teach them the basic colors of Advent.

The Colors of Advent with St. Nicholas cover art

This year I decided to tie my introduction in with St. Nicholas.  It’s just as simple activity where they’ll each get a little card with the colors of each week and they have to color the card.  I’m giving this to all of you as a FREEbie in hopes that it’ll help introduce Advent into your setting as well.  Also included is a color version in case you just want to pass that out instead.  

sample pages of "The Colors of Advent with St. Nicholas"

The cards really are perfect for any age level or even to pass out in church as an introduction to Advent.  And who doesn’t love St. Nicholas?  I hope that you enjoy and are a help to you.  If you’re interested in these cards, just click to….

Thanks for reading and see you soon!

A Thanksgiving Subscriber FREEbie

"Thanksgiving Verse Coloring Pages" cover with scarecrows

I know, I’m pretty lacking in my posts again. There just always so much going on and I don’t see it getting any better with the holidays coming. I do plan to do my best though.

I wanted to let you all know that the new “subscriber freebie” is uploaded and ready for you.  It’s a set of coloring pages and it’s in perfect timing for Thanksgiving!  This will probably be the last freebie until after the New Year.  

I also want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you who follow along.  As I said, I know that I’m not regular in my posting and that makes it hard to follow, but you stay with The Treasured Schoolhouse and I appreciate it.

God Made Me….

Last week, my class and my daughter’s class worked on a lesson for creation.  She did a cut and paste worksheet that I made.  Here are some pictures of her kids working on the page and enjoying it!

Coloring….

   

Cut and Paste….

All done!

 

It is read like God gave me ears to listen to his creation and God gave me a heart to love his creation.  So this page covers the 5 senses as used in creation and makes learning about it fun!

If you’re interested in this cut and paste worksheet, that also include the answer key, you can get it by signing up for my newsletter.  It’s an exclusive for subscribers and you’ll receive the password to enter the “For Subscribers” page with your first newsletter.

If you don’t already subscribe to the newsletter, you can do so in the right hand column. I don’t like spam either, so you’ll only receive a newsletter when there’s a new blog post.  Each newsletter has the current password to the “For Subscribers” page.   You also have the option to get the additional newsletter when I post new items in the Shop.

This printable is Pope Francis’ 5 Finger Prayer Poster and Worksheet Pack.  It includes 1 poster in color and the on the reverse side, you can print the meaning of the prayer fingers in English or Spanish.  In addition to that, there’s a page that can be used as a poster or print multiple on a page to attach to desk as a reminder.  

Finally, there are 3 worksheets.  These worksheets include cut and paste, label, and matching.  They’ll work for a variety of ages/grades to teach, review, or anything to suit your needs for Pope Francis’ 5 Finger Prayer.

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.

Lots of colors and no scribbling!

Next, we cut out all the different days.

Good scissors skills!

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

We love our glue sponges!

Glue them into their proper days!

Here’s the final project!!

creation-5
All done!

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….
