It’s a Grand Opening!

I haven’t quite kept up with my one post a month goal, but I’m close!  HAHA  I’ve been quite busy with work….and life.  It’s all good though.  How were your holidays?  How is the start to the new year going?  I have no complaints.  Just so much to do on all fronts.  I think most people are like that right now.  How about the price of eggs?  HA!  I do hope that you’re all doing well.

So one of the things that I’ve been working on is expanding into the other marketplaces.  I had started on it previously, but I’ve fully gotten into it.  I want you all to be able to find me on multiple places.  I know that some enjoy shopping in certain marketplaces and some enjoy others.  I still don’t have everything in the other marketplaces, but I’m making some good progress.  Along with me expanding, many other sellers are as well.  We decided to get together and do a Grand Opening Sale.  I’m really excited about this!

There’s so many special days coming up that you can hopefully find resources for.  Ash Wednesday is 22 February, which also makes it the first day of Lent.  Easter will be 9 April with Holy Week leading up to that.  There’s also Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring, and other important dates coming up.  I have materials for all these in my shops!

One of the places that I’ve expanded is to reopen my shop on Etsy.  I have very few resources listed there yet.  I’m just getting my feet wet again.  I’m really out of the loop there and trying to see what will or won’t do well.  I’m also working on getting more materials on Made by Teachers and Classful.  I’ve gone into other marketplaces, some are, but some aren’t part of this sale.  I’ll tell you about those another time.  Anyway, back to the Grand Opening Sale!

Let me give you the details.  The Grand Opening Sale will be 12-14 February.  Everything at The Treasured Schoolhouse will be 20% off.  Here’s where you can shop….

Made by Teachers:  20% off (with an extra 5% off 12-13 February from them)

Classful:  20% off with coupon code GRAND20 applied at checkout

Etsy:  20% off

Teacher Professional Development (TPD):  20% off with coupon code GRAND20

TES:  20% off

As you can see if you got to any of my storefronts, they each have a different number of materials in them.  I’m working on getting a little bit of everything up so that there’s a variety.  My true goal is to get everything on all of them!  HA!  As always, if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.  I can get something uploaded to the marketplace of your choice, or if you have a request, I can see if I can create it for you in a timely manner.

Happy Shopping!

Thank You Teachers

It’s time to say THANK YOU to all the great teachers out there.  This group is so deserving of praise, but often doesn’t get it.  So at least we get to honor them at this time of the year.  Please remember that it doesn’t matter if you work in a daycare, homeschool, are a teacher in the classroom, a professor, a parent, or anyone else that works with kids, teacher appreciation is for YOU and you matter!   If you teach kids, you’re important to them and their lives.

Word Search Makers

Even before I started selling resources, I loved to make word searches.  I just love word searches in general.    It really doesn’t matter who you’re making the word search for, they can be fun and entertaining.  Word searches are great for all ages from little ones (my Kinders always love them) to adults.

words being highlighted in a word search with a female hand

Over time, I’ve found several great word search makers online and I’d like to share them with you.  Some are free and some are for purchase.  If you plan on using one or need one for commercial use, please check the Terms of Use (TOU) or similarly named from each one to make sure that it’s allowed.  If you can’t find a TOU, please contact the site to ask them what is or isn’t allowed.

Here are just some of the word search makers that I’ve found over time.  Alright, so it’s 10….my top 10!

The FREE ones….

1.  Discovery Education Puzzlemaker

There are 8 steps to using this puzzlemaker.  You can choose title, size of the puzzle, shared letters, upper case or lower case, you words, to add directions or not, check your words and create the puzzle.  You can also choose your output type (image or HTML).  My favorite thing about this word search maker is that it allows you to put in whole paragraphs, instead of just a word per line.  There is also an option to generate an answer key with this one.  There are also other puzzlemakers available on this site like Fallen Phrase, Cryptogram, Maze, Hidden Message, and more!  Discovery Education does not allow commercial use.

2.  Two Lime Prints

This puzzle maker has plenty of options with it.  Some of the choices are grid size, grid shape, font, word direction, color (title, grid, words), border, and more.  You can also select to have it generate the answer.  The word search will generate as a PDF (or a PNG).  Just print and start playing!

3.  The Word Search

This word search maker allows you to add between 10 to 30 words to make your puzzle with the maximum word length being 14 letters.  For this one, it allows you to have spaces and dashes, which it will remove when it generates your puzzle.  This generator allows you to play online or print your puzzle out.  This site holds your puzzles for 30 days and they just may add it to their collection of available puzzles!

4.  SuperKids

This puzzle maker doesn’t have many options available, but it’s still a good one.  You can select the grid size and whether or not you want it to be an easy puzzle (no backward words).  Also, this one doesn’t allow numbers, spaces, or punctuation and it’s one word per line.  There is no answer key available.

5.  A to Z Teacher Stuff

This generator has a few choices like title, rows and columns, font style, font size, grid style, and word placement (direction).  Words can be from two to 15 letters and they can be place in the list separated by a comma or a space, or one per line.  For this one, you can also select from existing word lists.  There is no answer key available.

6.  Super Teacher Worksheets

This generator lets you choose level (basic, intermediate, advanced), header, alphabetized word list, and letter case style.  Words can be from three letters to sixteen letters with a recommended number of words of 20.

7.  ABCYa

There’s only 3 steps involved to make a word search with this maker.  This can be used for teaching children to spell at home or at school.

8.  Puzzlefast

This one allows you to make clues, phrases, multiple words, or omit for just the word.  There are also other types of puzzles available.  This one is very easy to use!

9.  Tools for Educators

This word search maker allows you to use images or text for hints/clues.  You can choose the font, 3 grid sizes, and upper or lower case letters.  If you use image clues, you can make up to 16.  They can be printed or used online.   

10.  The Teacher’s Corner

This word search maker allows you to use multi-word entries.  You can also make hidden message word searches.  There are lots of options like font, how many rows and columns, word placement, showing grid lines, and how many columns for the word list.  There is also the fun option to choose a shape for the puzzle from square to a car to a heart….and more!

The PAID ones….

123 Word Search Maker

$24.95/$18.71 with Educational Discount – Save $5 if you buy with the Crossword Weaver – FREE demo

There are 4 styles of word searches to include standard, hidden message, clues, and clues with hidden message.  You can also choose difficulty level, word direction, letter sharing, upper case or lower case (or both), and you can even choose how it prints.  Some of those options include export as text, export as HTML, export as image, and more.

Automatic Word Puzzle Maker

$10.00 – Bundle available for $30.00 (includes Word Search, Crossword Puzzle, Matching, Word Scramble, Letter Shapes, and Secret Code) – FREE demo

This generator operates in/with MS Word by using macros.  It functions on Win or Mac.  To use, enter your words and clues/descriptions, then generate your puzzle.  It also generates an answer key.  Some options when making your puzzle is upper case or lower case, grid shape, size, and more.  Spaces between words are removed.  Once generated, you save your puzzle as an editable file so you can alter it if needed, copy/paste into the project your making, and so on.  They offer customer service and have a YouTube channel on how to use the puzzle maker.  Commercial use is allowed.

Word Search Machine

$20.00 – Combo available for $36.00 (includes Word Search Machine and Crossword Puzzle Machine

This program works on PC and MAC by using Flash Player.  In just a matter of minutes, you can create a word search that can be printed or saved as an image.  Complete directions for set-up and use are included.  You can insert up to 30 words.  You have options like puzzle size and how often letters are shared.  It will also generate an answer key if you select that option.  Commercial use is allowed.

There are so many more, but these are the favorites that I’ve used over the years.  There’s so many that are so good and worth mentioning.  However, I did want to limit it to 10 so that it wouldn’t overdue it.  I hope that you find this useful and that it’ll help you in your word search endeavors.  

Do you have any favorite word search generators?  If so, please let me know in the comments.  I’d love to know if you have used any that I’ve used and didn’t include or maybe didn’t know about it.  Also, let me know if you’ve used any of these and if you like them as much as I do!

Let’s Talk About Blogging

blogging vector graphic

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I’m not great at blogging.  I swear that I’m going to do better and it’s not that I don’t try, but it just doesn’t happen.  I used to love to blog.  Then I think it began to feel like work to me.  I wasn’t sure it was worth it.  I know that many of you have followed me for years and I truly appreciate it.  It takes time and patience to read blogs or even to read the newsletters from the blog.

woman typing on laptop with cell phone close by

I recently watched a class on blogging and it made me realize how very much I miss it.  Plus, I know that I have this amazing following that has stuck by me through it all.  So now, what’s this woman to do?

Well, I’m going to make an honest effort to get back into blogging.  I know better than to make promises.  I’m going to start slow and work my way up.  For now, I’m going to start at one blog post a month and see if I can do that consecutively for a couple of months.  Yes, ONE post a month now.  I’ve got to start someplace!  If I can do that, I’m going to move up to blogging twice a month.  I’d really love to maintain that.  How does that sound to all of you?

My ultimate goal will be to blog once a week….or 4 times a month.  I don’t know if that’s possible for me.  I’m constantly going different directions and blogging is going to require my focus.  The good news is that I can get it all typed out and schedule it to post!  Oh my goodness, imagine this blog and this site active again.  We’ll have to see and well, I feel good about this right now!

So what I need from all of you is to know what you’d like to see.  Of course, I’m going to blog about the things that I love.  I’d like your opinion too.  Leave a comment on this post and let me know what you’d like to see from me.  It can be about a topic, how to use a product, life, photography, religion/religious education, and well, just about anything that might interest you.  I’ll do it, if it’s within my power or realm of knowledge.  If it’s something that I don’t know about or something, I’ll let you know.  I promise, I won’t just ignore you!  Again, reply to this post about what type of things would interest you to see here.

Oh and yes, more frequent blogging will probably mean a few more freebies posted on the blog/site and in the “For Subscribers ONLY” area.  

Here’s to the future of blogging….well, ME blogging!

Our Father

Do you work with your kids on their prayers?  Learning and even memorizing prayers can be hard for children to do.

  

A few years ago, I had made a sequencing mat to put the Our Father in order.  This helps children learn the proper order of the prayer.  A reader asked me if I still had this available and sadly I had to tell her “no”.  Well that didn’t make me happy, so I went digging through a very old back-up drive and found it!  I was able to make a slight update to it and I’m able to share it with you all!

If you’re interested in this sequencing mat, Just click on the cover image above to download it.  I hope that this helps your kids and makes it fun for them to learn the Our Father.

Time for Back to School….and a Sale

Hello all!

I know that it’s been forever since I’ve posted.  I’ve been busy though.  I’m guessing that you all have been as well.  I’m hoping that this finds you healthy and safe.

notebook with TpT back to school sale info

First, the big thing is the site-wide Back to School sale on TpT.  Everything at The Treasured Schoolhouse will be 20% off.  With code BTS20, you can get an extra 5% off.  The sale will be 4-5 August and if you add the code, you’ll get up to 25% off.

In addition to that sale, my shop at Made for Teachers will be on sale as well.  Everything will be 20% off from 4-6 August.  I’ll be adding more resources to The Treasured Schoolhouse at that location in the next couple of days as well.

I’ve been getting to work on adding the digital layer to my resources.  As I said in my last blog post, the digital layer adds a layer to PDFs so that they can be used in Google Classroom.  They aren’t Google Classroom resources, but with this tool, they can be assigned and turned in via that process.  The tool allows the buyer or seller to add answer boxes, and has a pen and highlighter tool.  I’m working on updating my resources so that you don’t have to do it and can easily access them for your Google Classroom needs.  Again, remember that it’s just a layer and not an actual resource type so that you can assign them in that format.  I’m keeping a list of all the resources that I’ve updated.  It states the resource name, how many pages, and in most cases which pages/activities.  You can click here to view the list.  I’ll keep it updated as I add more materials with the layer.  Also, you can still get the PDF and have access to the digital layer!

I think that about covers it for now.  I hope that you have an amazing start to the school year.  Happy shopping!
