T is for Ten Commandments

I’m so happy because it just so happens that my Bible ABC page goes along with my lesson today!!

This one is “T is for Ten Commandments”. The children will color a picture of the stone tablets with roman numerals on them. This page would not only be good for the Bible alphabet, but other Bible lessons and reviews.

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

Seuss CVC Word Families

I know that tomorrow is Dr. Seuss’ birthday and that most people/teachers had that for their theme this week.  I’ve just been so busy that I couldn’t make things as fast as I wanted to.  Besides, it’s never too late for for some Seuss!!

This is a mat set for making CVC word families.  There’s a mat and then cards with word families and letters to make CVC words.  There’s also a worksheet to record the word family and the words created.

Here’s a preview of this printable…..

The Jetsons

JetsonsNot long ago in my group, we had a character theme of The Jetsons.  I didn’t get a chance to make much, but I was able to complete a couple projects.

There are four jigsaw puzzles.  Each puzzle has 9 pieces, so they’re good for several ages/grades.  There’s also a set of four basic puzzles.  These work on their fine motor skills assembling these 4-piece puzzles.

All clipart from internet sources and believed to be public domain.

R is for Rainbow

I had to hurry through today’s color and write Bible alphabet page, but it’s ready to go!!

This week’s page is “R is for Rainbow”.  I can’t help but to love this page and the way hubby drew it!!  I like the hill and the way the rainbow meets the land, plus, I adore that little puff cloud.  This would be a great page to use with Noah also!!

Q is for Queen

It’s time for a new Bible ABC page again!!

This week’s page is “Q is for Queen”.  This is a queen in general, but could easily be used for Queen Esther.   Each week, I do one of these pages as a warm-up with my class, but they could be used for a lesson, a review, or so many other things.

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

P is for Prayer

It’s time for a new writing and coloring page.  We’re over half way through the alphabet, so that means that we’re more than half way through the school year.

This page is “P is for Prayer”.  This page features a boy and girl, each on their knees praying.  I love the details that these kids have to them.  Each week, I do one of these pages as a warm-up with my class, but they could be used for a lesson, a review, or so many other things.

Fishing Penguins Count Their Catch

I have a new freebie for you today and it was created for a request from one of my group members.  She wanted a counting activity with penguins, so here it is!!

These are a set of counting mats from 0-20.  They feature adorable fishing penguins.  To make it fun and rewarding, use Goldfish Crackers to count out the number of fish that each penguin caught.  If you don’t want to do that, I included some printable Goldfish Crackers or you could use another manipulative such as fish erasers.  Each mat has the numeral and number word.

Here’s a thumbnail view of the mats in this set….

O is for Olive Branch

Can you believe that it’s mid-month already??  We just started this new year and now we’re half way through the first month.  I just don’t like when time goes this fast.  I have the new Bible alphabet page today to share.

This page is “O is for Olive Branch”.  I like this page and the way it turned out.  Alright, so there’s not many that I don’t “like”, but I love working with hubby on these.  We’re a good team and I hope that you and your kids enjoy them as much as we do making them!! Each week, I do one of these pages as a warm-up with my class, but they could be used for a lesson, a review, or so many other things.

Snowy Ten Frame Match

It’s a new week and a new freebie!!  Is it me or is time going by really fast??  We’re already coming up on mid-month and we just started this new year!!

Today, I have a ten frame activity for you.  The snowflakes in the ten frame are counted and matched to the snowman numeral and number word.  I like to include both the numeral and number word because I really think it helps with association.  I did these with the numbers 1-20 so you can use as many or as few of the cards as needed.

Here’s a thumbnail view of parts of this activity….

Snowy Night Alphabet Match

It’s time for a freebie!!  This one features a beautiful background with cute snowman and matching snowflakes.  Seems fitting for this time of the year!!

This game is Snowy Night Alphabet Match.  For this file folder game (ffg), the snowflakes with the slower case letters are matched to the snowmen with the upper case letters.  As the child becomes more proficient with matching them, you could use a timer to see how quickly they can make their matches.

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