Round 2

I saw all of the cute creations friends were making on Second Grade Teachers Club, and I ended up with a new Vista Print promo code. This is my last trip to their website for back to school!

A sign for the 2nd grade hallway. I think this will go between the classroom doors. Our theme this year is space.

This will be hung from the ceiling in my reading area (minus the ground stakes).

These labels will go on student folders and notebooks. I am going to print their name on them.

This is a car magnet, but I am going to use it to do graphing with sticky notes, tally marks on the dry erase board.

I am going to attach a school calendar and lunch menu to the top right and bottom left corner.

These are notices for parents. I will use them to share their child's AR goals, Independent Reading Levels, etc.

VistaPrint Freebies!

             Last year was the first time I had ever heard of the company VistaPrint.  I stocked up on business cards (changed into incentive cards), notepads, personalized pens, and a banner last year.  This year, I created some more incentive cards and made a morning procedures poster.  You can see the other things that I created for free below!  I like using the company because I can change my theme and the cost is minimal.  I'm still using some of the free products I received last year.  You factor in their shipping costs so it's not 100% free, but watch out for their specials and buy then. Google "Vista Print free items" and stock up. You can only get 1 set of each of the free items, but you can get around that by placing multiple orders if you really wanted to.  I restrained myself!  But, I did want to make a poster and some cards to go with my new "Smartie pants" that I am sewing.

This goes on my magnet white board.  Students write their
name below, so I can see how many need to take AR tests.

This is a yard sign, but I threw the wire away
and display it when the desk fairy arrives. 
She usually leaves a sweet treat for neat desks...
and I somehow always know when she is coming.

These are going to go in the back to school goodie bags I made. 
They are fridge magnets to display student work at home. 
I like how they have my SpAcE theme clipart I purchased!

I always have a few students who come in
totally unprepared in the morning. 
Last year I had crosswalk duty every once in awhile,
so my partner teacher would step in for
 a couple of minutes.  This is a nice visual for students to check.

This is one of those freebie items I just couldn't pass up. 
 I love my nieces and son!

I was almost out of notepad paper. 
Plus, I wanted to promote this blog!

I will add pictures of my "Smartie pants"
when this Vista Print order arrives. 
I can easily hand students one of these cards
when they are doing great and they can trade
it in for some candy! I like to catch kids doing the right thing. 
The idea came to me when I was "stuck" in the
Target $1 section with Smarties on sale for a dollar!

I hope this poster looks good when it comes! 
It will hang above the pants with candy inside.

I think we all could use sticky notes! 
I wish I could order 10 different sets in one purchase.

I am going to put this on my lanyard.  It also has my whistle. 
One of those freebies that I had to check out.

                                              The possibilities are endless.
