I know…I know…most of us *JUST* got on break so the LAST thing we want to consider is next school year!
Earlier in the year I was brainstorming was to make back to school less stressful and more convenient for teachers. I decided to create some themed versions of my back to school forms…and the project just snowballed!
I began adding editable newsletters, an editable Open House Presentation and Classroom decor with MANY pieces that can be edited! It was so much fun to work on!
This pack is Bug themed and is only $10! I am considering making these as “custom” packs with the buyer choosing the digital papers and clip art and then I can make the items include below include the buyers choice in theme and clip art. Does that make sense? Would you want the pack below customized to your own theme?
Forms: 7 bug themed
forms for parents to complete for the back to school season. Please note these
forms are NOT editable. The forms include:
that includes email (color and plain version for better printing included)
for parents to write down his or her
student’s way home. (color and plain version for better printing included) . A premade version includes bus, care, daycare
and ASP. An editable version is included
in the zipped file as well if your students go home different ways.
included)
documentation forms for the teacher to document communication. The parents fill
in the part of the information to save the teacher time and the rest of the
form allows for teacher to record parent contact. One form is a full sheet perfect for the
teacher to store in a binder. The other
form is one form that has two sheets that need to be copied on cardstock back
to back. Cut the forms in half and hole
punch the corner to store on a binder ring.
request form
form for parents to complete (please note this is a two sided sheet and should

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! I have already begun decorating, using duct tape as a border (to get rid of using sticky tac to hold up the scalloped boarders). Anyway, my colors are teal and purple(zebra print on purple and leopard print on the teal). The color choices you've chosen along with the bugs make it a PERFECT union! I am buying this today…I just can't wait for another week, plus I'd probably guess wrong. But for kicks and giggles … June 22.
