Layers and Animals of the Rainforest

We had a “challenge” in my group for the rainforest theme.  I created this file folder game (ffg) for my members.  Players will label the 4 layers of the rainforest.  They will also sort animals into the 4 layers where they spend most of their time.  I wasn’t able to create a worksheet to accompany the game, but an answer key for the ffg is provided.

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

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”. 

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

Symbols of the U.S. from A-Z Flashcards

Here’s the second part of the project that I’ve been wanting to do for a while, but just finally got working on it.  The first part was a set of 5×7 posters and this is a set of flashcards.

This is a set of flashcards that feature symbols of the United States. There is one for each letter of the alphabet. I did have to get creative with “X”, so please no negative feedback. You can choose not to use it or replace it with something of your choice.  These have a few different images than the posters do to add some variety to them!!

There are 4 sets of flashcards. Included is one set each for Zaner-Bloser manuscript and cursive. You’ll also find one set each for D’Nealian manuscript and cursive. They can be identified by ZB or DN in the file name. If it’s cursive, it’ll also include that in the file name.

Here’s a thumbnail view of some of the flashcards….

Images from internet sources and believed to be public domain.

If you’re interested in these flashcards, just….

I hope that you’ve enjoyed the posters and flashcards featuring the great symbols of the United States.  This is one my favorite projects and I regret that it took so long for me to do, but I’m thrilled that they’re now done.  If you missed the 5×7 posters, you can find them here.

I plan on having a set of flashcards similar to these in the next couple of days.  That way, in a smaller size, there will be more uses for them and they could also be used for games.

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….

To get these ice cream cone items, please just….
