Teacher Binder Freebies- Part 1

I have been working hard at creating new forms and organizational tools for my Teacher Binder. I implemented a teacher binder last year after having researched and read a million posts from other bloggers. I'd always had a similar things before but definitely not at deliberate or as organized....nor as cute!

This year I found some great clipart and have updated all of the pages from last year plus I will be adding new pages that I think I will find useful. I plan to be posting this as series so make sure you check back frequently.

Parent Communication Log

Looking forward to seeing you!

PLUS....some of my pages will only be available here on A Class*y Collaboration. Yes, that's right! We have another amazing event planned. 

What are you carrying back to school?

In celebration of all the Back to School posts, giveaways, freebies, Instagrams (etc! Whew...!) I am hosting a fun get-to-know you type linky party.

I recently hosted on online Thirty-One party for my family and friends because Thirty-One is now in Canada!! Beyond excited...I bought 6 bags...crazy.

I'd love to know what you carry to school. 

Is it big, small, sturdy, colourful, have wheels? 

How do you get all the necessary stuff to and from school?

I have an obsession with bags and purses so I am really looking forward to seeing all your posts and pics. I probably own upwards of 30 purses and usually change my purse on a daily basis. To give you an idea of how much I love bags, when I got married my husband and I agreed that he would never comment on my purse buying and I would never comment on his beer buying! LOL

So come on by, link up and share your teacher bag (or bags, if you're like me)!
