Magnets!

I'm back on the blog again...what?!?! I just have the back to school bug...on July 3rd. It's probably because it's more fun to look at back to school deals and think about decorating my room than doing my final project for my grad school class. Hence why I'm blogging again. I'm just putting off that final project. Technically this is our week off...so I would just be an overachiever to be working on it right now! Come on! That is so not me.

Anyway...last year at this time I hadn't even officially gotten the job at Catlin. I was just wistfully pinning second grade things on pinterest hoping I would get the job. Then once I did I was in overdrive. The first day of school through the last day of school I kept thinking..."Ok, I'll do that better next year." But there were some things worth repeating.

Even on day ONE my students go home with lots of things in their homework folder. A survey for the parents to fill out, information about Class Dojo, etc. But something I was super excited about last year, and I've already reordered for this year are magnets! The original idea came from here. 

So I made this, uploaded it to Vistaprint, and ordered magnets to send home with my students! None of this is information that isn't already available to parents via our school website, but now it's available to them right on their refrigerator! It's very reasonably priced to order these magnets and they're the size of business cards! Some of my parents said they appreciated these! I put my information on everything but from day one I want to make sure my parents know how to contact me!!
