Teacher Appreciation FREEbies

heart apple graphic with "teacher appreciation week"

Once again this year, many clipartists are offering FREE clipart or other items for Teacher Appreciation Week. We couldn’t create the resources that we do without all the hard work from the artists for the wonderful clipart that they make. Their work is truly amazing!

Teachers are pretty amazing too, no matter where they teach and no matter if they’re in the classroom or at home (or another setting).

This is a free printable available at BitsyCreations.  Alternate version here.

 

Below, you will find a list of the Teacher Appreciation FREEbies that are available.  Some you can only get for a limited time and some will always be free.  There is a variety of items, but most is clipart.  They are showing their appreciation, so be sure to show yours as well by leaving these wonderful people some feedback!

Also, this is the first day, so I’ll be adding to this list.  Many of these sellers also offer something each day of Teacher Appreciation week, so since today is only Monday, be sure to check back at their store to see if they’ve offered anything else.

Here are the Teacher Appreciation Week FREEbies….

Sarah Pecorino Illustrations:  Teacher Appreciation and Dot Dudes Underwater

Jen Hart Designs:  Teacher Appreciation Freebie (includes those previously shared)

Lovely Jubblies Teach:  Teacher Appreciation Week Freebies (includes those previously shared)

Silly O Designs:  teeny token of appreciation

I will continue to add to this list until the end of the week as I find new FREEbies available, so be sure to check back.  You can also check out my post from last year, FREE Clipart for Teacher Appreciation Week, to find those resources that might still be available.  If you know of anyone that is offering anything for Teacher Appreciation Week, please let me know because I’d be happy to add them to the list!

I know, I’m pretty lacking in my posts again. There just always so much going on and I don’t see it getting any better with the holidays coming. I do plan to do my best though.

I Am Wonderfully Made

We just finished up our creation unit. I start them out with the days of creation and the next week, we go into how God made man and then rested. The following week, we do an “I am special” to go with God made me.

i am wonderfully made text

This year I’m used something that was new for me. I related it to Psalm 139:14, which states I am wonderfully made. This was so much fun and I loved having a verse that went along with the lesson. Here’s what we did….

We started by making our hand prints. I don’t know if they had more fun putting paint all over the hand or sprinkling glitter all over the hand print!

After they dried, we colored the frames around them and sent them home to share with their parents.

Next, we did a little writing practice by doing a tracing page.  I read the Psalm to them as they traced the words.

Psalm 139:14 tracing page - class sample photo

Again, I read the entire Psalm to them, then I read it sentence by sentence and they filled in the missing words.

Psalm 139:14 fill in the blank - class sample photo

With that hard part done, we moved onto the easiest part and that was the coloring page.

I have to say that the kids really enjoyed all the activities.  I’m so glad that I went this direction this year and I might just do it from now on!  If you’re interest in this activity pack, please check it out here or “add to cart” here….

God Made Me….

Last week, my class and my daughter’s class worked on a lesson for creation.  She did a cut and paste worksheet that I made.  Here are some pictures of her kids working on the page and enjoying it!

Coloring….

   

Cut and Paste….

All done!

 

It is read like God gave me ears to listen to his creation and God gave me a heart to love his creation.  So this page covers the 5 senses as used in creation and makes learning about it fun!

If you’re interested in this cut and paste worksheet, that also include the answer key, you can get it by signing up for my newsletter.  It’s an exclusive for subscribers and you’ll receive the password to enter the “For Subscribers” page with your first newsletter.
