Favorite Things: February

This month’s Favorite Things is all about the grade that you teach. I teach 4 & 5 year olds, which is usually PreK – Kindergarten. They’re the ones that nobody really wanted, but I do so love them!!

Here’s my Favorite Things about my littles….

FavoriteThings Feb16 - TheSchoolhouse I really wouldn’t trade my littles for anything!! They’re quite the crew each year and they keep me on my toes. I just love it when they come back and I get to see the changes in them. I do love being their first experience with many things!!

You can find more Favorite Things if you check out the linky at….

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….

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!!

If you use any of these printables, have any requests, or just want to let me know how you used them, feel free to leave a comment and let me know. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below to vote for my blog. (You can vote ONCE a day!!) I also have a “contact” button in the right column. I enjoy receiving feedback and I create by the input that I get, so thank you in advance!!

Clifford – The Big Red Dog

What kid doesn’t love Clifford the Big Red Dog?? I don’t think many!! Today, I have a wide variety of Clifford materials for you. I hope that you’ll find something that you can use and that the kids will enjoy!!

First up, there is a set of alphabet ~~flashcards~~ posters with the upper and lower case letter on each card and a set of ~~flashcards~~ posters that has the days and months on them. There’s also a set of ~~flashcards~~ posters for 0-25 with the numeral and number word, as well as a set of US money posters with the front and back of each coin and the coin name. The last set of ~~flashcards~~ posters is for colors and it features the color word with that color bone in Clifford’s mouth!! All posters are 5 x 7 and could be used for large cards as well.

I created a set of 2-part cards for money using 4 coins for amounts less than $1 and a set for matching the colors of Clifford’s paw to the color word that Clifford and his friends are looking for. There’s also a set of shape cards that can be used several ways. They can be used to play concentration, “Go Fish”, “Old Maid”, or a variety of other things!!

Next is as set of clothespin cards for counting Clifford’s dog dishes or bones and a set for matching the lower case letter to Clifford’s upper case letter. The final item is a set of word wall cards for Clifford and his friends.
