20 Days of Freebies at the Lil Red School House

Happy December! This year I am taking on a new project - my goal is to create and share 20 holiday freebies with you over the first 20 days of December. I have combined the 8 Days of Hanukkah with the 12 Days of Christmas to create 20 days of celebration. However, each item is free for ONE day only. That means that you will need to come back and visit every single day to get all 20 items for free. But, if you miss one or two, don't worry - they will all be available in the shop for you to purchase.

The first day of this celebration offers visitors a complete set of December Gingerbread Friends calendar blocks.

This calendar set also includes a complete page of blank blocks so you can personalize them to fit in with your own special December celebrations.  Don't forget - this freebie is only available today so get it while you can.

Thanksgiving Freebie: I'm All Ears Literacy Seat Center

Click here to download this resource

I love, love, love centers where the students have a worksheet to reinforce the skills they practice on their own.  In this center you will find 6 sets (yes, that's right up to 6 students can work on this at once!) of homophone cards with color coded borders.  Once the students match their homophone pairs they write them on the included worksheet.

This matching card game has 12 pairs of cards and is perfect for center pairs or for those chilly indoor recess days.

Witches Brew Rhyming File Folder Game - Halloween Freebie

A wonderful friend of mine (Hi Cindy!) reminded me about some freebies that I had shared last Halloween.  I'm so glad she did because now I can share them with you here on the blog *Ü* This file folder game is designed for young elementary readers.  Students match the rhyming words together.

Beginning Sounds Clothespin Book - A Halloween Freebie

This is the final freebie in the Five Fabulous Frightening Freebies set.  With all of my clothespin books the students clip the pin onto the correct answer.  If you would like to make the books self checking, get a pack of the circle stickers (like garage sale price tags) and place a dot behind the correct answer for each before you laminate.  If you want to fancy it up a bit you can use theme stickers too.

To assemble clothespin books I punch a hole in each card on the top left corner and use a binder ring to hold them together.  If you are on a tight budget or you don't have binder rings, you can get plastic zip ties at Dollar Tree and those work pretty well too.

Mummy Math File Folder Game - A Halloween Freebie

My after school group loves the Magic Tree House series and around Halloween we read Mummies in the Morning.  I created this file folder game to practice their math skills while sticking with our mummy theme.  The skill practiced is three digit addition with no carrying - mental math.

Candy Contractions File Folder Game - A Halloween Freebie

I wanted to provide a variety of skills with the Halloween freebies so I'm adding a couple of games for older students as well.  The first of these games is a file folder game designed to reinforce the skill of contractions and their base words.  Students match the two base words to each contraction.

Pumpkin Pals File Folder Game - Another Freebie

What better way to kick off a new blog than to offer some fun freebies, right?  Well I think so too.  So, here's another great freebie for you.  Today's freebie is a favorite of mine.  I created it when I taught prekinders (oh what fun that was!) and instead of making a traditional file folder game I printed the pieces onto magnet sheets and used the game in our magnet center (which we had set up on the side of the filing cabinet).  The boys LOVED it and I loved how all of the little pieces stuck together so nicely.  If you opt for making a magnet game instead of a file folder game I would recommend storing all of the pieces in a large envelope (you know the kind with the nifty string closures) and attaching the cover image to the front of the envelope.

This file is once again added to Google Docs (gotta love free file storage!) so it will look a little grainy before you save it.  If you download the creation please leave a comment, I would love to know it's being used. 

Halloween Number Center

I love, love, love Halloween.  It has to be my favorite holiday.  This year we have a special addition to our holiday fun, our first grand child was born just two weeks ago.  So, to say the least I've been a little busy with wearing the Grandma (MeMe actually) hat and not so much with the Creator hat.  But, I did have time to put together this very cute (if I do so say so myself) number center that I hope you will enjoy using with your little ones.

I have uploaded this creation to Google Docs since I seem to be having problems with my web host right now.  It's in PDF format so it should be easy peasy for you to download print and use.  If you have any problems with it, just leave me a comment and I will work on getting it worked out for you.  The download does look a little grainy with the google viewer, but it downloads nice and clean. If you download this creation, please leave me a comment.
