Documents I Found Going Through My Teaching Files And An Idea From Pinterest

My computer had to be restored this week—which meant all my programs and fonts were lost L  I still have my LD (Lettering Delights) fonts CD and the free fonts I downloaded, but I have to try to find the other CDs.  I said all that to say-the fonts in the pics are not the same as the word docs.  {I'm going to attempt to add word documents to my blog.  I hope I'm able to do it} {UGH! I wasn't able to do it.  It doesn't look like it's possible....so sad}

The fonts I used for the documents were: Footlight MT Light (already on my computer) and several free fonts: Swagger, Amsterdam Graffiti, Minnie and Mickey and Cheri.  Free fonts are from: http://www.dafont.com/

I designed the cover for a friend.  His only criteria: make it macho. LOL!
I think football is macho.  Btw-his name is not Derek Morgan.  I’m a Criminal Minds fan. 


  

“Sorry I Missed You”: Made these for the same friend to leave on the door during home visits.


“I don’t have my homework”: I used this when I was teaching.  In order for me to consider accepting late work (which I usually didn’t), students had to complete the form and turn in when the homework was due.  They could also use a late work pass or a “Day of Grace” pass (see Binder Coupons).


“We Missed You”: Students staple the sheet to their make-up work.  When the teacher sees the sheet-they will not deduct points for late work.


Binder Coupons: I don’t know who loved these more—me or my students.  I only gave these out a few times a school year and not everyone received one.  This was something you had to earn.  I copied them on bright cardstock (usually orange) and stamped the back with whatever stamp I had so students wouldn’t copy them and give them to their friends (learned that the hard way).  I usually gave them out the first Friday of the school year for students who had their first major assignment. 



My New Office-The Before Pictures

I was finally able to see my office today….well, a potential office to be exact.  I will be one of two new counselors at the school this year, so I’m not sure which office will be mine, but they all look somewhat similar.  The counseling suite and offices are a mess because they replaced the carpet this summer.  I have most of the stuff for my offices already, but I have to find/buy more things to make it prettier, especially the file cabinets.  I remember seeing an idea on Pinterest J Below are the before pics and the stuff I bought for my office.  I love purple…as you can tell J
