Teacher's Printables

With a new semester in full swing, I wanted to highlight some of the nearly 30 new classroom printables I've added to TeachersPrintables.net.

There are new checklists on which to mark off learning goals, a daily weather chart, a printable postcard, absence reports, a show and tell notice, a classroom birthday chart, music practice schedule (great for parents and band teachers), a detailed school transcript, and even a college budget planner. For math class, there are blank addition and multiplication charts, counting by 10s, a place value worksheet, and activities for the 100th day of school.

I've also added a new seating chart, this one with a circular arrangement. Have you heard of Flat Stanley ? It's a fun project where students watch a paper friend travel the globe as a writing and geography exercise. He's now on TeachersPrintables.net!

There are also various printable rulers, which are great to send with homework so students don't have to hunt for a ruler.

TeachersPrintables.net now has 355 printables in PDF and DOC (Microsoft Word) format, from classroom management and parent communication forms to blank lesson plans and graphic organizers.

I enjoy making these printables available to teachers, especially knowing what a tight budget they have. Everything on the site is available to download and print for free individually. I also offer a single-classroom license of the entire collection for $27; a whole-school license is $67. The collection includes everything on the site, plus a selection of bonus printables such as lined, graph, penmanship, and note-taking paper - more than 400 documents in all.

New Printable Paper

Wow! With the latest round of additions, PrintablePaper.net has reached a milestone, exceeding 1,000 papers available to instantly download and print. In the years since I launched the site in 2008, I've covered all the basics, such as lined and graph paper. Plus, there are lots of specialty papers: music staff, columnar pad, dot, penmanship, notes, calligraphy, storyboards, and calendars. PrintablePaper.net also has printable games, score sheets and tons more templates for home, school, and business.

I've had so much positive feedback on my papers for crafting (such as knitting and quilting) that I've now added 51 new papers for beading. The beadwork layout paper includes patterns for lots of popular designs such as herringbone, peyote, brick and their many variations. These patterns are appropriate for seed bead, cylinder bead, and other projects.

All of the papers are free to download and print as PDFs, and often in DOC (Microsoft Word) format as well. Some categories (such as budgeting forms and score sheets) have the option of a free PDF or a $4 premium DOC version that can be edited and customized.
