Monday Made-It: Vistaprint Awesomeness!!

Following Stephanie's example, from Teaching in Room 6, this week's Monday Made-It comes from Vistaprint!
 
A while ago there was a Groupon for Vistaprint- $17 for $70 worth of products, which for Vistaprint can be tricky, since everything is so darn cheap, but I managed ;)

Here are just a few of my creations:
Word of the Day business cards- students can "nominate" a word to be WOTD by writing it on the back with a definition and placing it in our Word of the Day basket (maybe I will make that next week?)- If their word is chosen, they will win a prize :)
These magnets are the GREATEST! I am going to hang him to replace my "Learning Targets" sign
Business card that kids can use when they do well on their spelling quizzes. How cute is that bee?!
I put this on their weekly note when they get 5 stars on their Clip Chart (Behavior Management)
I got this idea from somewhere- if you know the source- let me know!
Better Bucket Filler cards- business cards that kids can turn into our bucket- those owls are too much!
Large rubber stamp for classwork- I will highlight or circle their grade
I'm afraid to write notes on this, it's so cute :)
For labeling my chart markers (the smelly kind, I heart them and want them to stay around!) and professional books

I also ordered a keychain since I am ALWAYS misplacing my keys :)
It's dolphin-themed, since our school mascot is the dolphin..... Kinda funny since we are near the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, but I think they are cute, so I don't mind :)

What have you made this week?

  2. I love your Vistaprint creations!! I bought the same Groupon & I have to use it still. I started making some things, but stopped. I'm glad I did, because I love your Super Speller punch card idea & definitely want to make that for my students. :) Great creations!

    1. Thanks so much, Lisa! Their items turn out so well, I just love them :) I was worried I wouldn't be able to spend all $70 at one time, but I quickly got over that ;)

  10. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these and all of your stuff! Do you have the copies of these on TPT? I just started using pinterest this summer. I was just moved last year from 1st to 3rd grade after 14 years. I am always looking for new inspiration. I feel like I have found a teaching partner who I can completely relate to. Thanks for sharing all of your terrific ideas.

    1. Thanks so so so much for your amazingly sweet comment :) I am so glad that you can use some of my ideas :)

      The majority of these Vistaprint items came straight from their templates- they have so many cute ones to choose from, I didn't have to worry about making my own, just editing the text to fit my needs :)

      Thanks again and welcome to 3rd grade, it's the bestest!!

  11. Hi Stephanie,
    I wanted to thank you for posting so many new ideas. I'm coming back to third grade this school year and it's only my 3rd year teaching so I'm excited to use some of these refreshing ideas in my classroom. Also I am attending my first WBT Conference this week! :) Thanks so much!
