It’s All on Sale!

Hello all!

I’m not even going to mention how long it’s been since I posted.  I just can’t stay in the groove any more.  I’ve got to find some writing mojo!  I hope that despite my lack of contact with you, my followers, that you’ve had a great summer and are ready to head back to homeschool or the classroom.

To help you head back, ALL my resources in ALL of my shops is on sale.  You’ll find everything at 20% off.  Here’s the details about The Treasured Schoolhouse Back to School Sale….

  • TpT (TeachersPayTeachers) – 20% off plus an additional 5% off with code BTSBONUS23 at checkout 29-30 August
  • Made by Teachers – 20% off plus an additional 5% off from MbT from 28-30 August
  • Classful – 20% off with coupon code BTSBONUS23 from 29-30 August
  • Dandelion – 20% off orders over $6 with coupon code BTSBONUS23 from 28-30 August
  • Create Your Homeschool – 20% off orders over $6 with coupon code BTSBONUS23 from 28-30 August

I’m rather new on a couple of the marketplaces, so I don’t have much listed yet.  I just wanted to be sure to include them so that you could check out the shop and see where you like shopping the most.  I’ll be adding new materials to the smaller shops throughout the sale.  I just got done uploading my newest resource of God Knows My Name Activity Pack and it’s perfect for back to school.  It works on the kids being able to trace, write, or color their names and how God knows us and they’re a child of God.

Thanks for sticking with me and I hope that you find plenty of great materials to use with your kids now….or throughout the year!

Happy Shopping!

It’s a Teacher Appreciation Sale!

It’s that time of the year where we tell all the teachers THANK YOU for all they do.  They, of course, deserve it all week long.  This is the week dedicated to them, so let’s make it a good one!  If I can find some good deals out there other than the sales, I’ll make a post about them like I’ve done the past 5 years.

Objects in Church and for Mass

This week, we worked on what’s inside the church. Next week, we’ll go tour the church and Father will have items for mass set-up for the kids. This all leads up to the week after when we attend mass for Ash Wednesday. I do lots of prep because of many of the kids, this is the first or only time attending mass, especially for the little ones.

I start by talking about the things that they can see outside and as they walk into the church. This is a great book for discussing the different objects in church….

I then discuss several objects with them.  We do a fun activity of matching items that we’d see in church or not see in church.  Sometimes they circle the items or color the items that they see in church.  This time, we drew a line from the object to the church.

You could also simply place an “X” through items not found in church.

Next, we work on tracing the names of some of the objects in church.

Finally, we do a cut and paste activity. I had them color the church and then they were told to color the objects that they would find in the church. We should have cut them out and then glued them onto the church, but we ran out of time!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can find the pages that we worked on in the What’s Inside the Church Worksheet Pack in my shop.

[add_to_cart id="3444"]

You can also see my new expanded pack, What’s Inside the Church 2 Worksheet & More Pack for older kids to learn about the objects in church and used during mass and it’s exclusive to my shop.  

[add_to_cart id="3438"]

If you use coupon code CHURCH, you can take 25% off those 2 printables!

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….

I Am Special Activity

Last year, I did a really fun activity with my kids. They loved it then and they really loved it again this year. So, I just had to share!!

 

In the big open space, they draw a picture of themselves. They need to see what makes them special like the color of their hair, skin, eyes, and so on. Of course, they’re little ones, so they’re far from perfect, but they sure are fun!!

There’s also an area to put stickers down with their name on them or glue letters down. There’s also a blank line for them to write their names. On the side, there’s a cute poem about being unique. Finally, on the side, they can also put their fingerprint under the magnifying glass. Why??  Because each of us has a fingerprint that is unique to only us!!  To do this part, we just used an ink pad.

If you’re interested in this activity page, just click to….

Here are some photos my kids in action with this page this year.  You’ll notice that I forgot my stickers at home, so we made due and used letter beads!!

Ash Wednesday Fun and Learning

Last night’s lesson was all about Ash Wednesday and how it’s the first day of Lent.  Advent and Lent are always interesting concepts to teach the kids when it’s all about “waiting” and “preparing”.  At their age, they’re just ready for Santa and the Easter Bunny.  They soak up the information like sponges!!

Ash Wednesday Craftivity cover

After our discussion about Lent, we focused on Ash Wednesday and did this activity page.  Since we attend mass as part of class on Ash Wednesday, it’s important the kids know all about the ashes so they know what to expect.  After that, we practiced for mass….several times!!  Our final activity was a little craft that I made for the kids.  They colored the pictures to look like themselves and then we took black paint and put a cross on the foreheads with their thumb.

If you’re interested in this, just click to….

download button black & red

 

To see the a few of the final projects, just click here and click here to see how my class did them on Instagram.  You don’t have to have an account and it’s worth it because they’re just adorable for being 3-5 years old!!
