Using Vista Print Label in the Classroom

Obviously I have somewhat of a Vista Print obsession (sadly there is no current 12 step program for that).

One of the ways that I use Vista Print to my advantage is through their labels.

I thought I would share some of my labels and how I use them!

Incomplete work

If a kid turns in work that is incomplete, I stick this "under construction" label on the paper and give it back to the kid to complete.

Poorly done work

If a kid turns in work that is not though out, messy, or just plain poorly done, I stick this "speeding ticket" label on the paper and give it back to the kid to rework.

Missing Work

If I see that a student is missing an assignment I stick this label on an extra copy of the assignment and hand it to the kid.

School Supply Labels!

Label the books or the school supplies in your room with these fancy labels and they come back more often than not!

Short Stories from a Middle School Teacher: Gold Stars

Gold Stars One of my favorite things to do my third year of teaching was team teach. The Civics and Economic teacher and I would put our classes together regularly so we could create cross curricular stations and activities for the kids. The arrangement worked out great because, even though there were more kids in the room, the kids were less willing to act up with two authority figures in the room. One day the Civics teacher’s side of the room was going downhill and fast, while my side of the room was behaving like angels. Finally, he called out, “Whoever is being good will get a gold star!” (Amazingly 8th graders coveted these stars like none other). The room got completely silent and without missing a beat one of the students on my side of the room said, “You mean like Hitler did to the Jewish people?” I suppressed my laughter and thought to myself, “Yes, finally they are retaining true things about WWII!” Then I thought to myself, “Too bad I don’t teach history.”
