Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids – Upper Case

My family and I had a movie marathon today.  In between times, I created this new game.  It’s Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids and works on the skill of matching lower case letter to the uppper case letter.

I didn’t place the upper case letters in alphabetical order on the game board because I know how well kids are at memorizing them!!  The player will place a lower case pumpkin letter token on the upper case letter pumpkin patch kid.  This should make for a fun autumn game and keep the kids busy for awhile!!

Here’s a collage of the some of the parts of this game…..

If you’re interested Pumpkin Patch Alphabet Kids, please just…..

Direction Prepositions with Mr. Snuffleupagus

 

Earlier this week, I shared a spacial (location) preposition book with you.  It featured Mr. Snuffleupagus and one of his favorite foods….cabbage!!  

This time, the item that I’m sharing is a spacial (direction) preposition book featuring Snuffy again.  However, this one features what Snuffy is doing.  It also includes his cave home and his other favorite food, spaghetti!!  After reading the sentence and identifying the spacial preposition, the kids will write it on the line under the picture.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pages….

If you’re interested this spacial preposition book, please just…..

About My Printables – A Must Read!!

I have some issues to address with all of you, my readers and users of my printables.  In the time that I’ve been in Y!Groups and had a blog, there’s been many changes.  As with anything, some changes are good and some aren’t so good.  In January of 2010, there were huge changes to the graphics that we were allowed to use on free printables.

There has been more changes, the latest coming from Scrappin’ Doodles.  I purchased the license so that I can continue to use their graphics and give the printables away on my blog.  I have no problem doing that.  I do this to help people that have kids, work with kids, are teachers, grandparents, homeschoolers…..well, just anyone who interacts with kids.  I do this because the KIDS benefit.

My biggest problem is that my printables are being “abused”.  Below every single post is a brief TOU (terms of use).  I also include my full TOU in each printable download.  On top of that, I have a tab at the top of the blog with my TOU and Disclaimer.  Despite all this, I’m still finding my creations in places that they don’t belong.  The main location that I find them is Giga.  I have NEVER allowed my printable creations to be on Giga and I stress that. 

That is part of my TOU because I don’t know who’s grabbing them from you on Giga and you don’t technically have control of who’s getting them and where they go when someone downloads.  I don’t allow ANY uploading to Giga, AIM, 4Shared or any other online file storage/sharing service.  The reasons why it’s part of my TOU doesn’t matter.  The TOU should be honored no matter what.  Just know that it’s in place to protect the artist, the graphics, and myself. 

I’m sorry that I have to do this, much less say this, but it has to be done.  From now on, if I find my materials in any location that they’re not supposed to be, I’ll find a way to ban that person from downloading my materials and accessing them.  By people not honoring TOU, they’re ruining it for others.  It’s not only ruining things for you and others, it’s ruining it for the KIDS.  The KIDS are what this is all about and by you “abusing” what’s being freely given and shared with you, only the KIDS lose out. 

Also, if you find my printable materials used or in any location that they shouldn’t be, please ask that they be removed.  If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, don’t hesitate to let me know and I’ll handle it.  There’s no reason to let others lose  your change for free printables that are helping your KIDS!!

The final part of business is that if you have a problem with me or the printables that I create, please take it up with me.  There’s no need to run to artists, other bloggerss, teachers, or groups.  I’m very easy to work with and I’m willing to listen and learn.  I’ve been at this a long time, but there’s still mistakes that I make and I feel like we all can learn something new each day.  There’s just no need to go behind my back.  I have a “contact” button in the right hand column and there’s always leaving a comment.  Contact me at any time…..I love feedback!!

Thanks for reading and I hope that we don’t have any more issues with this.  My hope is that we don’t lose any more artists or graphics stores.  I’d love to be able to keep creating and helping you and especially the KIDS!!

Location Prepositions with Mr. Snuffleupagus

 

This week, I’m going to offer a couple preposition items that I’ve been working on.  They will feature one of my favorite Sesame Street characters, Mr. Snuffleupagus.  Mr. Snuffleupagus is better known as Snuffy to most of us and his full name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus.  He resides in a cave, just off of Sesame Street and his birthday is 19 August.  He has a sister named Alice and lives with family, Mommy Snuffle and Daddy Snuffle.  There’s also other family members in the cave.  Snuffy’s best friend is Big Bird and his favorite foods are cabbage and spaghetti.

The first item that I’m sharing is a spacial (location) preposition book featuring Snuffy.  This book is all about locating where Snuffy’s cabbage is.  After reading the sentence and identifying the spacial preposition, the kids will write it on the line under the picture.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pages….

If you’re interested this spacial preposition book, please just…..

 

**PLEASE NOTE: Mr. Snuffleupagus character © Jim Hanson and Sesame Street – I in no way lay claim to ownership of the character, images, books, or anything else pertaining to Mr. Snuffleupagus or Sesame Street.**

If you use this book,  please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it….or don’t like it.   I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).  I love feedback and create by the input that I receive….thanks!!

With version 2, the player will get a CVC object card and place in on the mat.  Then, they will place the CVC word next to the object on the mat.

Please be sure to download the corresponding printable pages that you will need for the version of the game that you’re using.  For version 1, download ffg mat 1, CVC hook letters, and the CVC objects.  If you’re downloading version 2, get ffg mat 1, CVC words, and the CVC objects.  All graphics © AnnieThingsPossible  with permission.  CVC objects believed to be from public domain.

Back to School Teacher Aids

We went back to homeschool on Monday.  To “celebrate”, I’m offering some back to school printables that I created last year.  The first things that I posted was a back to school calendar set.  Today, I’m offering some back to school teacher aids.  All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

First off, there’s some cubby tags.  There’s also a set of nameplates in various styles for the desk, locker, or wherever needed. 

There’s 2 varieties of incentive items as well.  There are incentive cards, which are small in size.  Also, there’s sheets, which are about the size of half a sheet of paper (maybe a little smaller).  These can be used for reading books, writing for the day, behavior or other classroom activities.

Finally, there’s a set of “home tags”.  These are to identify the method that each child gets home.  The options include bus, sibling, walk, parent, other and another choice.  The tags can be attached to backpacks, jackets, attached to the desk/table, or any location that suits the user best.  These were created for very personal reasons and I think no classroom should be without them!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the teacher aids….

If you’re interested in these back to school teacher aids, please just…..

 

One final note on these teacher’s aid printables.  Many of the items can be edited with the kids names and printed that way.  If they have lines, then they need to have the names written on them.  However, if they’re just a blank area, you can write or type the name in the form fields.

 

If you’re going to use these back to school aids for your homeschool, classroom, or other location for back to school (or anytime during the school year), please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Back to School Calendar Set

Today, the Schoolhouse went back to homeschool.  To celebrate “back to school”, I want to share some (back to) school theme items that I created last year.  The rest will come later this week, but first off, I have a large calendar set.  

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

This calendar set not only features numbers 1-31 for the dates, but also includes numbers 32-100 for those who count the first 100 days of school.  Additionally, there are “no school”, “birthday”, and “holiday” for date slots.  The calendar years are from 2010-2015 so they can be used in the future as well.  Also included in this set are strips for “yesterday was”, “today is”, and “tomorrow will be”.  They days fit perfectly on these strips or can be used alone.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the pieces in the calendar set….

If you’re interested in this back to school calendar set, please just…..

 

If you’re going to use this calendar set for your homeschool, classroom, or other location for back to school (or anytime during the school year), please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it. I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).

Silent Consonants 3

This week, I’m going to be featuring a couple silent consonant games that I created.  It’s Friday, so that means that this is the last installment of the silent letter games.  This one features d, k, p, and t.  It’s called The Bees Knees.

All graphics used © Scrappin’ Doodles with permission.

There’s really no rhyme nor reason to how I decided to make these silent consonant games. I just wanted to cover all of them so that the kids would become familiar with silent letters and be able to recognize them. These games are a simple sorting game. The words are to be sorted to the mat for the letter that’s silent in each word. There’s also a worksheet that accompanies this game and can be completed during or after game play. This will also help with pronunciation and spelling of the words.

Here’s a collage sample of some of the parts of this game….

Travel Fun & Games

I know that summer is quickly coming to an end, but you can’t tell it by the temperatures here!!  There’s also lots of people out there taking their family vacations or visiting family and friends.  To keep the kids busy in the car, I’ve created a couple simple printable activities.

Last year, I made a Travel Bingo game where the objects can be marked off as you find them on the trip.  There’s also calling cards, that someone could use to call off objects or they could be cut apart and the players draw objects….until BINGO is yelled!!

There’s a set of Travel Word Games where words are made from travel phrases.  There’s 4 different ones!!  I also made 2 versions of tic-tac-toe with a travel theme.  Finally, there’s a set of maps to choose from to color the states (or countries) that you visit or travel through on your summer journeys.

I have 2 more games in the works, but I don’t know if I’ll get them done or not.  Well, I will, it’s just a matter of when!!  Just so many things going on right now and I’m trying to keep up with it all.  Please check back to THIS post to see if there’s an update for me finishing up creating them.  If it’s not posted by Sunday, then I got overwhelmed and I’m not sure when they’ll be complete!!

Here’s a collage sample of some of the items for travel fun & games….

If you’re interested in the travel fun & games printables, please just…..

UPDATE:  There is a new set of 9-piece jigsaw puzzles with a variety of cute and fun travel pictures.  There’s 4 puzzles in the set. 

If you’re going on vacation, taking a trip someplace, visiting family, or going use these games for your homeschool, classroom, or other location, please leave a comment and let me know how you and the kids like it.  I’d also appreciate it if you’d click the button below (as well as in the side bar under “vote or rate The Schoolhouse”).
