Five For Fraturday {FREEBIE}

This week has completely flown by. It seems like yesterday when we were at the beach enjoying the waves. (Don't be jelly, we just finished our rainy winter in Panama - and we need sunshine!) I decided to go ahead and link up this post with 5 for Friday (hem Saturday) to share a little of my week with you:)

I am really proud of my most recent accomplishment - organizing my school stuff!  It feels so good to be organized and I created a little video to share with you:)  This is actually all from my Teacher Binder Bundle - which is super cute!!

After looking at my pinterest account - I noticed my blog needs a little face lift! It would be nice if everything matched.   It's been over a year and it is looking a little drab...so be on the lookout - some changes are coming soon - maybe chevron?  We'll see:)

I've been planning some MLK Jr. activities and this is what I came up with.  So far my kiddos are enjoying reading the mini-book and their writing activities.  You can click on any of the pictures to see more:)

I have also been thinking a lot about our 100th day of school.  I made these cute little awards - which you can grab for FREE - if you haven't already:)  I've also found a few other fun things on Pinterest....

DIY Super Hero Masks....This would be a big hit for reading like a super hero!

"Pin the Star" we are using this for our 100th day of school - 100 stars - stickers!

Super Hero Party - perfect for little super heroes who need a drink!

Finally, I realize I pin way to much. 20,000 pins!!  I really do love pinterest and all the fun ideas I find on there:)  Your welcome to come join me if you would like - but be warned it is a little addicting!

Have a great weekend!

How to Make Your Own Teacher and Student Binders

Making your own binders for your classroom is super easy!  You can make them for a 1/4 of the cost that you would pay to buy them already made. This little tutorial will walk you through the process.

This year I really wanted a cute set of binders for myself and my kids.  My little girls wanted the cute chevron planners and my littler guys helped design their own calendar notebooks with cute critters. I went ahead and conquered the task for all 5 of us.  Whether you are making teacher binders or student binders the basic steps will be the same. 

My Teacher Binder Bundle is completely editable, so you can customize each cover that you make.  I made covers for TheTravelingclassroom, Spanish, Calendar Time, Science, and my personal calendar notebook/lesson planner.   I also made front and back covers for each of my kids. 

 You can either use the cover pages in a 3-ring binder or use them in a comb bound notebook.  With a 3 ring binder you have the option of adding pages later on and it is really easy to just slide the pages in.  If you choose to have them bound at a print shop (such as Kinkos, Office Depot, etc.) with plastic or metal coil binding, you will have a nice little notebook when you are all done.  With the comb binding option you will want to laminate the front and back covers for durability.

You can also add your own little embellishments.  I chose to add a polka dot ribbon book mark to the back cover.  I just hot glued it to the back cover.

You will not need the binder spines with the comb bound or coil bound binder.  I printed all my pages on our home printer, laminated our covers, and then took them to the local print shop to be bound.  At the print shop they punched the holes and bound them with their handy dandy machine.

You will want to have all your pages in order before you head to a print shop.  Make sure to organize enough weekly pages, daily pages, and notes for the year.  Don't forget your page dividers!

If you are making a teacher lesson planner or organization binder you will want to include all the pages for that also.

That is all there is to it!  The fun part is seeing the final products:)  Everyone over here LOVED their new binders.   They couldn't wait to pull out the glitter  gelle pens and start writing.  (I have to admit, I felt the same way:)

If you are in need of a teacher binder be sure to hop on over to my store to check it out while it is on sale!

The Teacher Binder Bundle will be 50% off for a limited time. That's over 600 pages for only $15!!
