Lamination overload

January 17, 2013 by Tamara

Greetings fellow teachers!

What a great week its been so far!  My mom knows that my printer conked out on me, so, in order to help me better educate her ‘grand-students’…she graciously offered to buy me a new one!  Check out this state of the art printer people! 🙂  Thank you so much MOMMY! 🙂  I’ve been holding off on so many projects because I didn’t have a printer!  So, last night, I went just a ‘wee bit crazy’ with the new printer. I brought all of my pages in today…since our school only allows lamination to be done on one day by the teacher’s aids….and here is what we ended up with when we were all done… Full disclosure…Daina ALSO printed things out on HER computer as well! So…that only goes to show you how backed up…er..broke we’ve been to not have ink all this time! :/

Ya’ gotta love my totally exhausted look!

Oh wait!  There was MORE?  Yep! There was! I sent off my my Gridiron Greats pack and my brand new Fact Family Centers, too! 🙂  I’d forgotten once we’d seen all the stuff that came back when we sent off the Frosty in First stuff and the Brr!  It’s Cold Outside stuff! So…we are now all LAMINATED UP, people! 🙂  Pray we don’t get carpal tunnel syndrome after all of this craziness! 🙂  I’ll have an upcoming post on how we utilized these centers in the weeks to come! 🙂

Check us out! 🙂  This picture cracks us up every time!!
If you’re interested in taking a closer look at either of these packs, check out the links below! 🙂  Oh…and tell me what you’re doing for centers in YOUR classroom! 🙂

For more on Katie’s centers, check her out on TPT as well!
Your partner in education,
Tamara

        Girl…this was one big HOOT! I didn't even share the pictures of the recording sheets that came back from the county print shop! We had to sort all those to each center…we played the music loud and had a BALL! 🙂 It was good times, for sure! 😉
