HP Instant Ink: The greatest thing since sliced bread!


Printing to most teachers is really important, but also REALLY expensive. 

Case in point:


I have tried all different kinds of methods for bringing the cost of printing down. Getting ink from overseas (the cartridges worked about half of the time), buy the XL ink cartridges, and tried different off brand cartridges. Nothing ever worked so I usually just printed from my schools horrible printer that would leave those awful horizontal lines from the toner constantly being low. Printing it color was never an option aside from the one cartridge I would buy at the start of the school year.

My mother introduced me to the greatest thing since sliced bread last summer: Hp Instant Ink Program! With this program you can choose from 3 different plans ranging from 2.99-9.99 a month and print in either black or COLORED ink as much as your plan allows!!!! Your printer monitors you ink level and if you are running low, ink comes right to your door without you even having to think about it. There are even rollover pages. 


I have the $9.99 plan and I am beyond happy with it.

The website tells me how many pages I have printed of my allotment:


 It also breaks down how many pages I have printed per day.

Customer service is great also. One time I got a black in cartridge in the mail instead of color so I called customer service. They overnighted me a color ink cartridge and the conversation only lasted 5 minutes. 

I love being able to print something in full color without having to worry about the cost of ink or draining my resources to quickly. I have only gone over my printing allotment once and that was at the beginning of school last year (heavy printing season). 

How do you get in on this magic you may ask?
First things first, you need to have an HP printer

Here are my recommendations (I have the Envy 5540):




Next, you need to sign up for an account. If you want to use my referral link you (and I) get a month free!

Teacher tip: Paint Your Bulletin Board

One of the things that I hate every. single. year. is putting bulletin board paper up!  It never fits properly and trying to line the various pieces of paper up is so frustrating as well! I tried many different solutions over the years. I tried sheets, I tried fabric, I tried shower curtains.  Finally, I had an idea! PAINT (Cue hallelujah chorus music) I decided to paint my bulletin board with a pretty universal color that would show up in most borders or could transform into a specific background if need be. (I recommend a blue!) I got a quart of pain and a roller and I went to town! It's great! It doesn't need to be replaced, it doesn't fade in the over time, and it can be reused over and over again!

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! :  Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be!  I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon.
