Tech Tip Tuesday: First Day of School Signs! FREEBIE!!! Make it personalized with a tutorial here!

On Carly's first day of eighth grade, I made her a first day of school sign! I also made her one for ninth grade but I didn't get to print it out because my printer was on the fritz and I couldn't :( But here is what it would have looked like had I gotten it printed! I also made signs for my niece and nephew. I uploaded it to Facebook and had so many compliments and questions about how I made the signs. I've made personalized signs for many of my friends and family. Here is your chance to get your very own personalized sign for the first day of school! Just click on the link below and download.

First Week of School!

Hi yall! It's been a BUSY week over here in Louisiana. Not to mention HOT - upwards to 100. Can't wait til September. But first of August means back to school :) I just wanted to share with you how my first week back went! I made cookies for everyone!   {HERE} is my fantastic recipe.  Teachers reported on Tuesday where we got to sit in on all that really fun and exciting review of policies and handbooks and all that jazz. But my principal is so awesome that she makes those mandatory PowerPoint presentations into fun games. We did a Quiz-Quiz-Trade and a Tarsia puzzle. Have you used this before? It's amazing! District Policy Awareness Our fourth grade teachers use it with the kids to review facts and help to study. One side of the triangles has the answer and the another side has the questions.

Pinterest Pick 3 {Linky Party}

Hey friends!! I am linking up this month with PAWSitively Teaching and Inspired Owl's Corner for a fun Pinterest Linky! This is such a cute idea! Here are my pick 3s for July:  Believe it or not, I have exactly one month before I have to report to the first day of school for teachers. Crazy! This summer FLEW by. But I did manage to find some great ideas for the coming school year! Click HERE to see original pin Look how smart! Each child gets a paper bag and gets to put items inside that tell about them. This would be an easy way to introduce each child to the class and get to know a little about everybody. The teacher can do the same. I could give out the bags at Meet the Teacher night and the kiddos can bring them back on the first day. This next pin I know I've seen multiple versions of in various places. I think it's a great idea!  Click HERE to see original pin At meet the teacher night, give each parent a slip of paper to write a wish for their child for the year....
