It's getting to be back to work time for me. *SIGH*
While I have loved being home with my little surprise, my mental well-being needs some more stimulus. There are eight weeks left before I get back into the classroom. Like many teachers, I had to create a teacher supply list before this past school year ended. For me, a doubly daunting task. First, I haven't taught in almost 20 months, second, I'm opening a new school. As I was making my list, I realized that I'll need coin envelopes for my 25+ students to hold their word study cards. Do you know how freaking expensive those little suckers are?! Yes, you get 500 for $20, but I only had $185 to spend for the whole 2013-2014 school year. $20 was too much to pay for coin envelopes.
Inspiration hit when I was cleaning out a suitcase and came across the "key" for a hotel room we had back in May. The "key" came in a little envelope. So I pulled the envelope apart, traced it onto card stock and used it as a pattern to make 30 of the cutest little coin envelopes you've ever seen! Oh, the possibilities! I realized that not only could they be used for word study, but for all sorts of crafts and classroom applications.
Happy cutting!
