Pete the Cat School Tour freebie

While I do love summertime, I enjoy planning for the coming school year. One of the things I like to do on the first day is to take my students on a tour of the school so they can get to know the layout and meet the people who make our school great. 

I made this Pete the Cat School Tour freebie packet to make it fun for my kiddos.  

  

After reading Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes by Eric Litwin we will find this page tucked in  the back of the book...

Then we will begin our tour which will lead us around the school ending on the playground where we will go over the rules and then play a little (they are five after all).  Finally, we will head back to our classroom to find this taped to our door...

We will think about where the first clue lead us and that will (hopefully) lead the kids to our classroom library where they will find this...

There are two different sizes of labels to choose from included in the packet. Pick the one that fits best and attach it to the Pop Rocks candy packet.  

The order of our tour is below...it may not match your school exactly.  You can do what I have done in the past and "wing it".  Since they are five they may or may not be able to read so I usually just read what I need it to say. 

:) Update:  I have added an editable slide for you to tweak the order to help you adjust it to fit your school tour! :)

My kiddos are sure to have a good year and I hope yours do to!

Yearly Calendar 2019-2020

I am loving my new school calendar.  I made it for the 2019-2020 school year and it won't be long till summer is over and I am back in the classroom!

I printed front to back on card stock in color thanks to my membership in the instant ink program from HP.  Since I joined I have never been without ink and have saved hundreds of dollars!  And whenever I want to print something for my kiddos  at school I don't have to worry about breaking the bank! 

I purchased the hp Envy Photo 7155 and I love it.  It has the option to print borderless and that has made me one happy teacher! 

First click print and choose printer properties.

Then, click under the borderless tab to turn it on.

Finally, click under paper type to choose hp matte brochure or professional paper.  You can play around and try another choice but this one works for me. 

Once you get back to the screen to click print you should see that your page will print all the way to the edge.  Pure happiness!!!

Wallpaper Calendar Backgrounds for school!

While I LOVE my summer vacation, I always get a little excited around the first of July, thinking about the coming school year.  Its a chance to do it again and do it better than the last time.  I also love being organized and planning during the summer helps me achieve that goal.

One of the things I have been working on is a set of wallpaper calendar backgrounds for my laptop. 

I absolutely love anything cute and these fit the bill.  As I began putting these together I couldn't decide on just one so each month has 3 options.  Each month, I can display a cute themed background with the current month's calendar.  

If you are interested, please click on the picture below and check them out in my tpt store.

This product has been updated for the 

2019-2020 school year! :)
