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!!

Purim Sameach!!

This past weekend we celebrated Purim here in Panama with some friends.



Purim is a fun Jewish Holiday just like Hannukah. It is a celebration based on the book of Esther in the Bible during the time of the Medes and Persians about 500 years before Yeshua (Jesus). (Purim is usually in Feb. or March every year).

We had a wonderful time. We played lots of games; bean bag toss, musical chairs, hit our Haman Pinata, and had a costume contest! There were lots of prizes and yummy food for everyone.


This is a picture of everyone with their cast of characters on spoons for our Purim Readers Theater and play.

Here they are:  King Xerxes, Haman, Mordecai, Esther (Hadassah), Queen Vashti

Our huge Hamantashen cookies with brownie centers.  mmm- delicioso

Party Favors:)

Our Haman Pinata!  Boy, was this a blast!  Candy was flying everywhere & he lasted a really long time... everyone got a turn!  It was hilarious watching the kids diving for the candy:)

Another picture with the girls in their pretty Queen Esther style Dresses.  Each one had their own perception of what a Queen Esther should look like:)

Do you like the rain boots & butterfly wings?  She walked around feeling so pretty in her outfit!  So cute!

If you haven't done anything for Purim yet you should check this out!

I used my Party Planner and I must say I was much more relaxed being organized!  I was able to sit

back and enjoy all the fun:)  If you are planning a party, I would definitely suggest using something to help you get organized.  It helps take away a lot of the stress and makes your party become more of what you envision it to be!  Just click on the picture to learn more about what is included in my Party Planner!

I hope & pray you have a wonderful Purim holiday season with your family & friends!

Purim Sameach!!!

Jewish Calendar FREEBIE...

I thought I was all done with my calendar...but then I looked at our school closet and decided it needed to be reorganized again!  Whew, that took all day...but now I know what´s in there! Ha ha:)  I also put a lock on it because the kiddos kept getting in it and somehow all my hard work was undone in less then the time it took to organize it!

While I was in there organizing yesterday I decided my 4 year old needed to try Activity Boxes so off I went to make some numbers (I added them to my calendar - you can use them for both Activity Boxes and Calendar numbers:)  I also added Jewish holiday labels...ok - now I think I´m done - my husband sighed for me:) lol

I decided I would give these for FREE to YOU:)

Enjoy!
