This is a continuation of my original post, Things to Do While Everyone is Home.  You can click here to see that post.  This new post are all the links that have been shared to other blog posts, Facebook posts, and so on to help teachers and parents during this time where everyone is home due to Spring Break and/or the coronovirus.

Here’s the Entire List of Education Companies Offering Free Subscriptions Due to School Closings from Kids Activities:  “With school’s closing across the nation, parents and educators are in bit of a panic as they try to figure out how kids can learn and obtain their education from home. If this sounds like you, stop stressing. This is going to be super helpful!”

Cyber Monday and More!

The year is rolling right along!  Thanksgiving has passed along with Black Friday, so now it’s time for Cyber Monday.  I’m having a sale for Cyber Monday, but it’s more than just Monday!  My Cyber Sale will be Sunday to Wednesday, so there’s plenty of time to shop.

The entire store for The Treasured Schoolhouse will be on sale for 20% off 1 to 4 December!  In addition, at TpT, you’ll be able to get an extra 5% off for a total of up to 25% off with code CYBER19.  That code is only good 2-3 (Monday and Tuesday).

I’ll also have The Treasured Schoolhouse on sale at my other marketplaces as well for 20% off!  Please click below to be taken to The Treasured Schoolhouse that you want to visit and shop….

As usual, I’ll try to add at least one new resource during the sale.  It has been extremely crazy, so I’m not sure I’m actually going to get it completed, but I’ll try with all my powers!

Happy Shopping and Happy Cyber Sale!

New and Expanding

"new" button - round blue

I’m back for an update and some news!  First I want to start off by saying that I’ve temporarily closed down my Shop here at The Treasured Schoolhouse.  I do intend to reopen it, but it’ll be a couple of months.  It was taking too long to do my updates, so I decided instead of letting it looks messy and only half complete, that I’d just close it and get things back on track.  I expect with the holidays here, that it will take some time and I can do it little by little this way.  I do have other locations where you can shop The Treasured Schoolhouse though and I hope that you’ll take the opportunity to visit me at those locations.

I’m happy to announce that Amazon has started a new Digital Educational Resources section on their site.  You will now be able to find resources from The Treasured Schoolhouse there!

Amazon Ignite logo

This new digital educational resources area of Amazon is called Ignite.  I’m honored to say that I was part of the beta testing process and am now part of the marketplace.  The Treasured Schoolhouse is one of the featured sellers, among many other great educational goods stores.  I hope that you’ll be sure to check out The Treasured Schoolhouse on Amazon Ignite!  If you’d like to visit, just click on the logo above.

Finally, I’ve added a new resource to the Subscriber’s Only page.  This one is a simple game for Christmas to celebrate the nativity.  The password is included in the newsletter and if you haven’t subscribed yet to the newsletter, please do.  You can request to subscribe on the sidebar of this blog or by going Home.  I have plans to add at least one more resource before Christmas, but I haven’t decided if it’ll be a Subscriber Only or for everyone, so keep an eye out!

Updating

"update" road sign

Hello all!!

I know it’s been forever since I’ve done a blog post.  I feel horrible because when I get busy, this is the first thing that seems to fall aside for me.  I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of you for sticking by me and The Treasured Schoolhouse.  You are the BEST and I know it!!

colorful "update" blocks

This is just basically going to be an update as to what’s going on and what you can expect to be happening around here.  First I’m starting with updating all the freebies that are on the blog.  Many of them haven’t been available for quite some time for various reasons.  I’m going to update them and make them usable again.  I’m not going to work on them in any certain order, but I hope to get to all of them in somewhat of a timely manner.  The exception will be those that are Seuss, Disney, and other characters like those.  I’ve learned a lot over time and I fully understand now that those are in violation and won’t ever be available again.  They were also the first I deactivated when I found out how serious of an issue it is.  We all learn and grow….or we should!!

Next up is The Treasured Schoolhouse Shop.  I’m still getting random orders despite there being no photos or real store front.  I want to work on getting those images back up and make the resources fully available.  The good thing is that other than the “Exclusive” materials, everything can be purchased on the other marketplaces where I sell my resources.

The “Subscriber Only” page will be getting some additions as well.  I’m thinking that this will be a slow process as I really want to get the blog freebies updated.  It’s hard to work on new and old at the same time.  However, there will be some new materials coming to that page and hopefully soon as I truly appreciate all of you who have subscribed and joined my mailing list.

I think that about covers everything.  It’s going to be a long process, but it WILL happen.  If there’s anything that you’ve been wanting and it’s not available, please let me know and I’ll work on those first.  See you next time!!

Do You Need a BOOST?

It’s time for back to school.  Are you ready?

With back to school comes a sale on TpT.  Tomorrow, 20 August, is their one-day sale.  You can get everyone at The Treasured Schoolhouse for 20% off and tomorrow ONLY, you can get an extra 5% for a total of 25% off!  Just use code BTSBONUS19 for the extra discount.

Just in case you miss the sale on the 20th, I will be extending my sale by a day, so you’ll still be able to get 20% off until 21 August!  To check out the sale, just click the banner….

Back to School BOOST

I know I didn’t get the FREEbies for my newsletter subscribers posted.  Had a major issue and wasn’t able to complete them.  Please check throughout the week, because I’m going to get back to work on them and upload them as time permits.  There should be 3-4 new subscriber FREEbies posted within 7-10 days!

Happy Shopping and Happy Back to School!

Reminder and Best Deals

I just wanted to do a quick reminder that there’s only a couple hours left to use code BTS19 for the Back to School Sale on Teachers Pay Teachers.  It will give you an extra 5% off and if you shop my store, that makes your discount up to 25% off!  Just click on the banner to be taken to The Treasured Schoolhouse to visit my store.  Also, my store will continue through tomorrow, 8 August, and will continue to be 20% off.

back to school sale

I thought that I’d share some of the best deals in my store right now.  As I mentioned, it’s on sale for 20% off, so when you grab some of these, you’re going to get an amazing deal.  The top 5 deals at The Treasured Schoolhouse are….

1.  The MEGA Prayer Pack BUNDLE – Catholic:  This bundle contains 32 Catholic prayers and would normally be $99.50, but it’s at $69.65 with a 30% markdown discount.  With the 20% off, it’s $55.72 on sale!  Since making this MEGA bundle, 3 prayers have been added and if I make any more prayer packs, they will be added as well.  That means that you get ALL of the updates at NO additional cost!

2.  Inside the Church MEGA BUNDLE:  This bundle includes 5 individual resources for items found inside the church or used during mass.  The regular price would be $26.25, but it is $19.00 with a bundle discount of 20% off the individual prices.  It’s currently $15.20 with the 20% off sale price!

It’s Time for Back to School….and a Sale

Yes, I’ve been away all summer, but I’m back!  I’m not only back, but it’s time for back to school and a sale.  Can you believe how fast time is going?  It seems like summer just started and here we go again!

My entire store at Teachers Pay Teachers will be on sale for 20% from 5-8 August.  On 6 & 7 August, you can use code BTS19 for an extra 5% off.  That gives you a total of up to 25% off when you shop The Treasured Schoolhouse!  

As always, I’ll try to add something new during the sale.  I also will be uploading some freebies here for subscribers to my newsletter.  If you aren’t subscribed, you’ll want to be (and I promise that I don’t spam)!  I’ll also post some of the best deals that are sale in my shop in hopes that you’ll check them out and find some awesome resources for going back to school.

Thank you for reading and following.  Happy shopping and all the best for your new school year!

Site Maintenance

I don’t know how much you’ve been paying attention to The Treasured Schoolhouse, but it was down for a bit.  My contract was up with my host, so I transferred to a new one.  In the process, I lost everything!

With the help of my new host, we’ve managed to restore just about everything.  There are still many gaps in the site that I’m working on little by little.  If you notice things amiss, fear not, we’re in maintenance mode!  You may find downloads not working or images that aren’t visible….or other glitches like that.  Hopefully they’ll all be back to normal soon.  Please remember though that if a post/download is marked as “expired” it can be found in my shop or stores.  If a post/download is marked as “discontinued” it is no longer available.

Where the most work needs to be done is with orders that customers have made from the Shop.  The orders are there, but the downloads are missing.  This is at the top of my list to get fixed.  If you have any issues, please contact me and I’ll get to work on it immediately.  Also, the “Subscribers Only” page is down.  That is also a top priority to get the site up and properly running.

I do appreciate everyone’s patience through this.  I don’t have a timeline for completion, but I’m working hard and doing it on my own.  For most of you, this really isn’t going to change things at all.  For others, you may see glitches here or there, but we should be in good form and ready to go!

It’s Time for the Winner!

I want to start by thanking everyone who entered the giveaway for the $10 gift card to TpT.  I appreciate you checking out my page, following me and leaving a comment.  I really love warm weather, so it was fun to read everything that you have planned for the Spring ahead!

Don’t forget that my sale on TpT is still going on.  Everything is 20% off until 28 February and tomorrow, 27 February, you can still use code TICKTOCK for an extra 5% off.  Now is the perfect time to get all the resources that you’ll need for Spring!

And now, it’s time to announce the winner!

 

Time for a Winner

Congratulations Christina!  You were the first to enter, so that really worked for you!  Enjoy your gift card and I’ll be sending it in a few minutes.  Please let me know that you received it.

 

UPDATE:  Christina, I’m not able to send the gift card to you.  It’s coming back as “undeliverable” and saying that the e-mail address does not exist.  Please e-mail me at army_family_ok@rocketmail.com by 3pm (CST) so that I can get this to you!!  If I don’t hear from you by that time, I’ll have to pick another winner so that there’s an opportunity to use it during the sale.

Advent: New and Revised

Are you ready for Advent? Tomorrow is the first Sunday of Advent for 2018. If you haven’t yet prepared your lesson or activities, I might be able to help!

Advent candles - hope peace joy love

First, I’ve updated my 2 previous Advent Activity Packs.  I’ve revised them so that all the color purple is now violet and pink is now rose.  It’s a fairly minor change, but I wanted them to be modernized with the colors that we now call them and they’re the same through all the resources now.

I’ve created a new Advent Activity Pack for this year.  It’s the 3rd installment!  This one has a “My Advent Reflections” book that the kids or even adults can note their reflections for each Sunday or week of Advent.  There are 2 to write on with differenciated lines for various ages/grades.  There is also one to draw on.  It also includes a worksheet and 5 puzzles….and they all have an answer key!  

This pack is also comprised of 22 word wall cards and 2 blank for you to add words of your own.  Some of the ways to use these cards are to just display them during a lesson, write sentences using the words, write the room, and many other uses.  A few of the words included are coming, hope, liturgical year, Advent, rose, and more!

The best part about this?  I’ve combined all 3 Advent Activity Packs into a bundle at more than 20% off the individual resource price.  Is there anything better?  Yes, there is!  You can use coupon code ADVENT to get an additional 10% off the bundle and the individual packs (in case you don’t want to purchase the bundle).  Oh, and as an added bonus, I’m including the Advent Write the Room and the O Antiphons Poster and Activity Pack in the coupon discount and it doesn’t expire until 24 December!
