Calendar Numbers Freebie

Well have you ever gone to set up the monthly calendar and you don't have all of the numbers?

Where do they go?

I usually use the same set for August and September....they were cute little kid faces that I bought a long time ago....but not this year because somehow I lost two of them, lol. I also 'lost' my camera (but actually I am hoping I left it in my classroom). We set up the 3 main bulletin boards and took pictures but now I cant find the camera. We (my daughter and I) were there a long time and we were pretty 'pooped' when we left so hopefully it is there!
I think I will go there tonight or tomorrow to get it so I can share the pics. Everything looks so bright and fun with new backgrounds and borders!!
So back to the calendar numbers....I gave up searching for the numbers and decided to just make new ones. I used the new digital colored crayons that I drew and they turned out great. There is also a page of blank labels (sorry not editable) that you can use.

I put this one up through my FB page.

To grab your free set, click on the Fan Freebie tab. It will take you to the site to download your free set. I will likely make a new set for each month as some of my numbers are REALLY old!!

 

I'm still not counting down, but if I were it would be 10 days....

 

 

Binder Covers Freebies, Washi Tape and Ribbon

Well my back to school pile continues to grow, but guess who is procrastinating going back to set up? I bought a few more things yesterday at Walmart...these cute borders were only $.97...that's a good deal!!

About 2 weeks ago I covered this composition notebook with Washi tape. It was my first project using the tape. I was surprised with how thin it is. You can easily reposition it if you make a mistake. I guess I should have somehow made the area I was going to cover white first because you can see the cover through the tape. I added a ribbon loop for a pen. The paper clips are just scraps of ribbon tied on

. 

Then on my trip to Walmart yesterday I treated myself to a new fun clipboard. I gave it a little bit of extra cute this morning.....cuz that's how I roll.  :)

VERY inexpensive and fun!! You can find cute ribbon for less that $1 a roll! Fran Kramer from Kindergarten Crayons had very cute and clever washi tape teacher gifts on her blog. You can see her cute gift ideas here.... Kindegarten Crayons:Do-you-know-about-washi-tape?

I had a request for some extra items for the Monster Classroom Set. I'm sorry I don't have time to add all of the elements requested, but I did make 2 editable folder or binder covers. You will need to open this file in PowerPoint and then 'insert text box'. Add names using your favorite fonts and print.
You can grab a free copy on Google docs (link under the image).

Have a great day!!!

Final Four Freebie Colored Pencils

Here are the last of the colored pencils set. If you need any different colors let me know and I will try to add them.

I learned how to make files editable in a quicker way so I was able to make two sets from last summer now have editable labels.

/Bee-Happy-Classroom-Design-Set-EDITABLE

Monster Classroom Set EDITABLE

They are both priced at $4.00 for a few days.  When I make my classroom labels, I use the heavy lamination sheets (is that 5ml??) I write on them with a sharpie and place where needed. At the end of the year I clean them using nail polish remover. They will hold up REALLY well. I have some labels that I am using for the 3rd year this year and they still are in excellent shape....they look new.
If you have any goo from tape just use a little Goo Gone and it will come right off.  I use a personal laminator from my mybindings.com. I bought my lamination pages through Amazon. Oh, one more trick I found is to always run everything through the machine twice...I always do this even if they look ok with just one time.
I will not count down my days of summer until it is 10.....or maybe 7.....or 5, LOL!!

Have a wonderful week!!!
