{I hope you sang that to the tune of, “let’s get physical”… because I did…}
Moving on. 😉
The new year is QUICKLY approaching. I have already started getting my room set up. If you follow me on instagram, you’ve gotten a sneak peak at my new writing area. I am in LOVE with how it is coming out!! My name on instagram is adayinfirstgrade! I’ll post daily pictures of my classroom’s progress. It’s so fun to see everyone working in their classrooms!
I finally am back from a VERY.LONG.VACATION. Thanks so much to Lyndsey for guest blogging for me. I LOVE what she shared! I hope y’all grabbed her amazing freebies and head over to her blog to say hello! She is a dear friend of mine, so please, stop by and say hi to her!
I got to hang out with a a GOOD friend of mine will I was in MA. She actually was my assistant teacher YEARS ago. Way back in the day, I taught her daughter and her son.
Here’s a picture of me with a student (her daughter who will remain nameless) from my first ever Kindergarten class and a student from my class from last year! {I’m getting OLD!!} jk!!!
My vacation was spent everywhere from the Cape to Maine. It was SO much fun and VERY relaxing.
We ate lots of lobster and had a blast!
Unfortunately, my teacher brain never shuts off and I could not wait to come back home to WORK.
{it’s a disease!}
I wanted to create my writing center (Which I will blog about soon, decorate my classroom, and offer y’all a FREEBIE!)
I use a folder and binder system in my class to help me stay organized. Each student gets a writing binder, a math binder, a Thursday folder, and a homework notebook. I label EVERYTHING in my classroom. This ensures organization and that I know where everything belongs! (and to whom it belongs!)
I wanted to create fun labels for these notebooks and binders and came up with this:
I LOVE THEM!!!
{Print these labels on 2″x4″ labels. I bought Avery labels (the pack had 100 labels and 10 sheets) at Walmart for around $3.00!!}
They look like this on my computer:

Enjoy!
Love your stuff on TPT! Never knew you had a blog and now I am glad I found you!
These labels are fantastic! Do you happen to have the stock number for the labels you printed them on? Thanks!
I love these labels and want to use them. I downloaded to google drive, but they aren’t editable. Am I missing something?
These labels are adorable!! Do you know what size label they will fit to print on?? Thanks!
I love these labels. I just went to print them and they didn’t print correctly. Do you have any suggestions on how to make them fit? Thank you so much!
I’m not sure– they worked on my computer and printer! I would say make sure your print settings aren’t changing the margins and hopefully it will work! I’m sorry you are having trouble! Avery labels + printing is sometimes a tricky thing!!
This may be late, but I just found these and I too had trouble printing. I move the sides of the slides in to allow for margins then they printed fine. These are adorable!! I printed extra so I have some to use for new students 🙂
Glad you got them to work for you!
Mine didn’t print correctly either. 🙁 Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Nicole, I’m so sorry you are having issues! Check your printer settings and make sure that the printer is not changing the margins. They worked on my computer… I printed a whole bunch of them! I’m so sorry you’re having issues!
I bought 2×4″ labels to print on and they looked crazy too! Is there something I am missing when printing or do I need to adjust the set up?
Thanks,

Thank you thank you thank you!!
Thank you for sharing! These are awesome!
I just found these on Pintrest. They are fabulous! Thank you for the FREEBIE!
I downloaded the free labels with the graphics of the children. I LOVE IT! I was bale to edit it but even with the correct size labels it is not printing on the label the correct way. It is not matching up! What can I do to correct this problem?
I think you need to adjust the size in Adobe. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. It worked for me and many others but some find that their computer resizes it. 🙁
thank you ! this is really very useful for busy teachers like me. pls share your ideas and freebies more, my preschool class will surely benefit much from you! thanks so much
Kristen, thank you so very much for your generosity. These are so very adorable.
The correct labels should be Avery 8163.
I LOVE THESE! Is there somewhere I can purchase more with different pictures of the kids? I have 23 students and would like a different “kid” on each label. Thank you!!!
