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!!

My Favorite Pets

Here’s a calendar set that I created awhile ago.  It’s been updated and it’s ready to share!!  This calendar set is “my favorite pets”.

Included in this set are all 12 months.  There’s also days of the week that fit on the “today is”, “tomorrow will be”, and “yesterday was” calendar pieces.  The years go up to 2015, so they can be used for some time to come.

The calendar dates go up to 31, but also includes special days.  The special days are birthday, holiday, and no school.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the calendar set….

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.

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.  That includes writing practice sheets, Play-Doh mats, and a My Letter Aa Book in both fonts.  There’s also a set of letter tile mats.

To download the Letter of the week printables, just…..

As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback on the materials that I create.  Also, I’d love it if you’d vote for my blog by clicking the button below….thanks!!

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!!

Earlier this week, I shared a spacial (location) preposition book with you.  It featured Mr. Snuffleupagus and one of his favorite foods….cabbage!!  

This time, the item that I’m sharing is a spacial (direction) preposition book featuring Snuffy again.  However, this one features what Snuffy is doing.  It also includes his cave home and his other favorite food, spaghetti!!  After reading the sentence and identifying the spacial preposition, the kids will write it on the line under the picture.

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

Location Prepositions with Mr. Snuffleupagus

 

This week, I’m going to offer a couple preposition items that I’ve been working on.  They will feature one of my favorite Sesame Street characters, Mr. Snuffleupagus.  Mr. Snuffleupagus is better known as Snuffy to most of us and his full name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus.  He resides in a cave, just off of Sesame Street and his birthday is 19 August.  He has a sister named Alice and lives with family, Mommy Snuffle and Daddy Snuffle.  There’s also other family members in the cave.  Snuffy’s best friend is Big Bird and his favorite foods are cabbage and spaghetti.

The first item that I’m sharing is a spacial (location) preposition book featuring Snuffy.  This book is all about locating where Snuffy’s cabbage is.  After reading the sentence and identifying the spacial preposition, the kids will write it on the line under the picture.

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

CVC Words

Today, I’m offering Baited Words.  These are mats/game boards for CVC words and there’s 2 variations for this game!!

For version 1, the player will get a CVC object card and place it on the mat.  They will then use the fish hook letter to spell out that CVC word.

With version 2, the player will get a CVC object card and place in on the mat.  Then, they will place the CVC word next to the object on the mat.

Please be sure to download the corresponding printable pages that you will need for the version of the game that you’re using.  For version 1, download ffg mat 1, CVC hook letters, and the CVC objects.  If you’re downloading version 2, get ffg mat 1, CVC words, and the CVC objects.  All graphics © AnnieThingsPossible  with permission.  CVC objects believed to be from public domain.

Back to School Teacher Aids

We went back to homeschool on Monday.  To “celebrate”, I’m offering some back to school printables that I created last year.  The first things that I posted was a back to school calendar set.  Today, I’m offering some back to school teacher aids.  All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

First off, there’s some cubby tags.  There’s also a set of nameplates in various styles for the desk, locker, or wherever needed. 

There’s 2 varieties of incentive items as well.  There are incentive cards, which are small in size.  Also, there’s sheets, which are about the size of half a sheet of paper (maybe a little smaller).  These can be used for reading books, writing for the day, behavior or other classroom activities.

Finally, there’s a set of “home tags”.  These are to identify the method that each child gets home.  The options include bus, sibling, walk, parent, other and another choice.  The tags can be attached to backpacks, jackets, attached to the desk/table, or any location that suits the user best.  These were created for very personal reasons and I think no classroom should be without them!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the teacher aids….

If you’re interested in these back to school teacher aids, please just…..

 

One final note on these teacher’s aid printables.  Many of the items can be edited with the kids names and printed that way.  If they have lines, then they need to have the names written on them.  However, if they’re just a blank area, you can write or type the name in the form fields.

 

If you’re going to use these back to school aids for your homeschool, classroom, or other location for back to school (or anytime during the school year), please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Back to School Calendar Set

Today, the Schoolhouse went back to homeschool.  To celebrate “back to school”, I want to share some (back to) school theme items that I created last year.  The rest will come later this week, but first off, I have a large calendar set.  

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

This calendar set not only features numbers 1-31 for the dates, but also includes numbers 32-100 for those who count the first 100 days of school.  Additionally, there are “no school”, “birthday”, and “holiday” for date slots.  The calendar years are from 2010-2015 so they can be used in the future as well.  Also included in this set are strips for “yesterday was”, “today is”, and “tomorrow will be”.  They days fit perfectly on these strips or can be used alone.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the calendar set….

If you’re interested in this back to school calendar set, please just…..

 

If you’re going to use this calendar set for your homeschool, classroom, or other location for back to school (or anytime during the school year), please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Silent Consonants 3

This week, I’m going to be featuring a couple silent consonant games that I created.  It’s Friday, so that means that this is the last installment of the silent letter games.  This one features d, k, p, and t.  It’s called The Bees Knees.

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

There’s really no rhyme nor reason to how I decided to make these silent consonant games. I just wanted to cover all of them so that the kids would become familiar with silent letters and be able to recognize them. These games are a simple sorting game. The words are to be sorted to the mat for the letter that’s silent in each word. There’s also a worksheet that accompanies this game and can be completed during or after game play. This will also help with pronunciation and spelling of the words.

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