Stikkord: freebie

Who is ready for summer?? I know I am 🙂 Even though I am not teaching at the moment, I sure am ready for this wonderful time of year. Usually, my first priority during the summer holiday is to get organized for the next school year! And I love it!! This year, I will spend my time getting organized with my TpT “business”. I have a long, long list of products waiting to be created and published, in addition to teachers sending me requests for various resources. Thanks by the way – you sure know how to keep me busy and my buisness running 😉 L-O-V-E IT <3

One of my main ways to stay organized is by storing everything in binders. Though most things can be digitalized today, using media platforms like Pinterest and Dropbox, I am still a little “old fashion” and like to keep a hard copy of my stuff. I pin almost everyday, but about twice a month I print my pins and organize them in my personal teacher binder. I love to sit down and go through page by page of great ideas for products!

I also keep my TpT business and blog, Joy of Teaching, organized this way. Here`s a glims of my personal binder and what I keep inside…

I print and glue photos of great ideas I find online or from visiting other teachers classrooms! It has become my big book of inspiration 🙂 !

Would you like to get your stuff organized this summer as well? Here`s a binder cover & spine freebie for you! Click the picture to go directly to my TpT-shop for instant download!

All you need to do is create a free members account at TpT, download the file and open in PowerPoint! You`ll receive 6 different covers as seen above, and two different sized spines for each cover – all EDITABLE! Means you can type your own text by simply clicking on the text boxes.

Hello everyone!

Finally, I am starting to get back into blogging buisness 🙂 As many of you might already know, we were expecting a new family member March 4th, the exact same date as our first prince was expected two years earlier. This last pregnancy really had it`s ups and downs so blogging was not at all prioritized.. We were 8 days overdue the 12th of March, on our first son`s birthday. Woke up early to sing him the birthday song and give some presents. Right after that I realized that the contractions I had felt earlier were getting stronger and it was time to go to the hospital. Yes, you guessed it! Our second prince were born on his big brother`s birthday:)! Same due date, same birthday. Matteo, our first son, was born March 12th at 02:02 and Millian, our second, was born March 12th 13:58. I can remember our midwife asked me if we should try to extend the birth so that Millian would be born 14:02… I think my reply was something like ” H…., no!” 🙂 Born on the same date was good enough for me 😉 To make it a little more special, my better half has two kids from earlier relationships, who also shares birth date:)

   

A new has just begun and with that I would like to share a 2015 calendar freebie with you! This packet contains 12 monthly calendar pages, with cute little graphics from Melonheadz. It can be downloaded from my TpT Store by following the links below. You can choose between English or Norwegian calendar.

I have found it to be very handy having a monthly calendar displayed in my classroom, just for my own overview. I note down tests coming up, assemblies, meetings, or other special happenings, so that it is quickly assessable without me having to get my plan book. I have also printed one i A3 size to use at home for our family planning!
