1-2-3 Make Some Back To School Treats With Me!
I enjoy browsing Pinterest to help trigger ideas. A big thank you to all of those creative geniuses out there who make the time to share.
I especially think that a "play on words" is really cute. I've used some favorites that have been Pinned in a variety of ways, and added my own twist, for some sweet back to school treats.
Click on any of the bolded links to zoom there. Here's hoping they help you have a wonderful time getting ready for back to school!
As a special way of saying Welcome; I like leaving a little surprise on my students' desks on the first day of school.
The "I hope you have a 'bear-y' special school year", features Gummy Bears. You can buy individual packages, or bulk and make your own Snack Baggies.
This star treat features Starburst candy. I put 3 on a star, but 1 also works just fine. If you don't want students eating candy in school, simply have them tuck it in their backpack, or distribute them at the end of the day.
Mini boxes of cereal make a nice snack. Students can munch it dry, or save for home and enjoy with milk. "Cereal-ously" is a stretch for "Seriously" but it works.
For a really inexpensive and simple treat, there's nothing like a refreshing Popsicle at the end of a warm day.
Simply have your students choose a flavor at the start of school, freeze in your cafeteria fridge and take out for a sweet snack before your kiddo's leave.
Finally, S'mores are a real hit. Children can eat separately right out of the Baggie, or have them assemble, place as many as 5 on a paper plate and zap in the microwave for 7-12 seconds, depending on your micro.
These are just a few of my newest back to school treats. For more ideas click on the link.
Thanks for visiting. As always, feel free to PIN anything you think others might enjoy. My "Pin it" button is at the top.
If you want to see all of the truly amazing things I PIN, simply click on the pink "Follow Me" heart button to the right.

1-2-3 Come Make A Back-To-School Treat With Me!
Are you looking for an inexpensive little something to give your students as a welcome treat on the first day of school?
You've come to the right place.
I've designed several money templates that you might enjoy: A "You're going to have a grand time in (grade)" and "Welcome to school. You're worth a million!" that make sweet bookmarks.
The US never created a million dollar bill, but some novelty shops sell them for gag gifts.
They feature everything from The Statue of Liberty, to various presidents and even Betty Boop!)
There was however, a real thousand dollar bill (featuring Grover Cleveland).
The largest bill the government ever made was for 100 thousand dollars (featuring Woodrow Wilson).
Whenever I'm designing something, I love doing a little research. I found an excellent article telling the stories behind large-denominaton currency. Click on the link to learn some fascinating facts.
How To Make A Back-To-School Bookmark:
Print a copy of the template of your choice. I've made one for every grade from preschool to high school.
Trim a photo of yourself so that it fits into the oval. Run the template off on light green construction paper.
If you want, buy a 100 Grand candy bar for each child and include that as an extra special TAKE IT HOME treat.
You can also wait, and take a first-day photo of each student.
To make cutting ovals of student photos quick and easy, make an oval template by printing off mine.
Trim and then trace onto a sheet of clear contact paper, lamination scrap or overhead projector paper, and trim.
You can now place the clear oval on your students’ pix, trace and cut out.
Run off the blank money template on green construction paper.
Print, trim and glue their photo inside the oval. Laminate the page to make a bookmark that's sure to become a special keepsake.
You may want to make extra copies and turn this into a back-to-school bulletin board.
Die cut black and green letters to say: "We’re having a grand time in (grade)." Alternate the letters in an ABAB color pattern. A yellow background will really make your board pop.

1-2-3 Come Make Birthday Notes With Me!
Since “Knowing how to write your name” was one of my report card standards, I was always trying to think of fun ways for my students to practice that skill.
Giving your students a birthday note that is signed by all of their classmates, is a great way to do that, and makes a sweet keepsake for the birthday child.
I have several black and white samples for you to choose from, as well as 8 birthday notes in color.
To expedite things for really little ones, you can have them all sign one black and white note and then run off multiple copies, so that when it is a child’s birthday you can personalize one and give it to them.
Put the note on a table where classmates can help color the card, when they have completed their other work.
Since I have 10 birthday notes, you may want to run off 5 copies of each one and keep them in a folder.
When it’s a child’s birthday they can look at your sample sheet of all of the cards and choose one.
After selection, set their birthday note on a “signing table.”
When students are done with their work, they can go over and sign their name to the card. Teachers should also sign their name for that finishing touch.
