The countdown for the breaks is on so let’s really make every day count!  

Helpful Stuff  & Recommendations 

The following links are Amazon affiliate links, but don’t worry, it does not affect your price at all :).

These amazing laminating sheets (100-Pack Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets by Office Square, Self-Seal, No Machine Needed, Letter Size, 4 Mil Thick) have been a game-changer for my classroom. They are about twice as thick as the laminating machine at my school, making my signs and classroom forms waaaaay more durable!

Here’s a pic of a laminated “closed” sign I hang on my metal classroom door so students know that it is my conference time and may not be in my room.

Check out this video tutorial and use this free TPT template to get started! I had a ton printed in about 30 minutes, saving me much more time in the long run by not having to handwrite them all!

Or you go print your own custom Post-it 50-sheet pads for about $4-$5 (they offer lower prices per unit if you buy more than 1) on Vistaprint.

Try it out and let us know how it goes! Don’t forget to tag us in your posts on Instagram as @shining_scholar_education and Facebook as Shining Scholar Education!

Because through helping others, we all win!

A Little Inspiration

Let’s remember that even when our jobs are not so inspiring, there are some people that could only dream to be in our shoes. 

This is not to belittle nor downplay what serious issues may be going on with your work, let’s just keep everything in perspective. 🙏

​As always, please forward this to any teacher that could benefit from this message and help spread the love!
