Back to School Freebies, Resources, and Pre Sale

August 2, 2014

I love this time of year! You can’t walk through Target without seeing kids picking out backpacks and carts loaded with school supplies. I catch myself browsing the aisles, smiling at their excitement. There’s just something about a new year. A fresh start. The endless possibilities. To make your back to school season a little easier, I’ve put together a few freebies, favorite products, and a bonus sale too. 


First up, I consider my newsletters a back to school must have. Parent communication is so important, but your weekly (or monthly) letters don’t have to take you a lot of time. I like that mine are quick, easy to edit, and still cute so they look like you spent a lot of time on them. 😉 They look great in color or printed in black/white on colored paper. Easy as that and a ton of different themes to choose from!


School Sesonal
School Kids
Smart Owl
Seasonal Owl
Fun Beach
Tough Pirate
Friendly Monster
Animal Safari
On the Farm
Detective
Frog Friends
Ladybug
Super Kids
Rockin’ Kids
Rock Star

Next up, back to school freebies! I made coordinating welcome postcards, contact cards, and birthday cards. I’m all about making things match and like that these work for boys or girls. I put my contact cards on magnets so they can easily be stuck up on the refrigerator.

My Big Kid Units are another must have for me. I use them for thematic fun that my third graders are still into while also integrating across the content areas. I check off reading, writing, math, science, and social studies standards while the students think we’re “just” having fun. 😉 I’m sneaky like that. I recently bundled my fall favorites so it’s equivalent to getting one FREE when you buy the bundle. That’s before the sale price, so it’s an extra great deal right now.

Finally, here’s another freebie for you. I mixed up our 100% work club last year with my Top Pop Stars board. Students who complete all of their assignments for the week get to roll the dice for a reward on Friday. I found it to be a great motivator for them and visual for me about how our assignments were coming along. Students who missed an assignment had to remove their tab for the week. You can read all about it on my previous blog post or just grab the reward card freebies here.

You can start shopping early in my store with 20% off everything on Sunday. The official sale will be Monday and Tuesday where you can save an extra 8% using coupon code BTS14.

    I am totally in LOVE with your Top Pop Stars BB. I might just have to find a place for one of these in my classroom.

Kid Closet // Because we were so happy with our ow Kid Closet // Because we were so happy with our own custom closet, we decided to do my son’s too. We primarily use his closet for off-season storage and toys, but it was always a MESS! Then the mess spilled out onto his nightstand, desk, dresser, building table, and under his bed. He needed a system! 

I used the online design tool from @containerstorecustomspaces to create this DIY Classic Elfa system. It took about three hours to install and set up. I love how flexible the system is, which means we can reconfigure the layout as he grows. I’m also really proud of his label choices... maybe he inherited some of my organizational skills after all!

As a momma, it’s easy to do all the things for your family. This is one thing I do for me! And since I work from home, it makes my space just a little happier every day. I was initially intimidated by the thought of arranging my own bouquets, but they provide tips and pictures to help. The best part? They arrive mostly in bud form and bloom in your home so you can enjoy each arrangement longer. ✨ Mine usually last 10-14 days. Link in bio to learn more.

Bathroom Makeover // We aren’t quite finished in Bathroom Makeover // We aren’t quite finished in here, but I’m pleased with the progress so far! We had plenty of room to turn our primary shower into a wet room with freestanding soaking tub. Shower glass is on the way, and I think we’ll tackle those mirrors too. The closet makeover is underway now, so check back for that next.

Merry Christmas // Does anyone still scroll their Merry Christmas // Does anyone still scroll their regular feed, or are we only seeing Reels and Stories these days? Either way, this deserved a permanent place. Merry Christmas from our family to yours. We are very thankful for another year together. Now bring on our second Kentucky Christmas!
