Avery Products Galore!

Shoplet has once again generously provided me with some awesome office supplies that I would love to share with you.   All these items are Avery products and I was extremely excited that they arrived just in the nick of time for preparing for my first grade classroom.   With the help of my creative teaching partner, we came up with some great ideas for using each of these items in our classroom. 


The Avery Flexi-View Round-Ring Presentation View Binder (AVE17686) and the Avery Ready Index Contemporary Table ofContents Divider (AVE11133) turned out to be a perfect complement to my teaching binders.  I had been looking for a durable binder that could easily hold my Common Core Standards that I use every day in my classroom.  The combination of these two items was absolutely perfect for what I needed!  The front cover is see-through so I was able to slip my printed sheet through the plastic and outer edge of the binder so that the title is easily displayed.  The Table of Contents template I downloaded from Avery.com was so easy to use!  I was a little nervous about printing it out, because you only get one chance at it!  It came out perfectly.  The 8 tabs that are included are sturdy and I think will hold up nicely to a great deal of usage!  The fact that there are 8 tabs made it an even sweeter deal because that is how many I needed for one particular group of papers I needed in my binder.   I still need to purchase a few more sets to complete my book, but it is going to be awesome when I finish.  Here is what it looks like so far!  Love them!!!

The Avery Round Easy Peel Labels (AVE22807) were also a perfect addition to my classroom.  Once again, Avery provides the templates and they worked perfectly!  The labels are clear and I must admit I was a bit nervous about how well the printed label would stand-up to the daily use of an active first grader. My ink from my printer adhered to the labels beautifully!   I was definitely not disappointed with the results that printed on the labels.  My students all have their own reading bin to keep their books they have chosen to read.   To go with my classroom theme, I printed them with a camouflage background and printed their name so they could easily recognize them.   Aren’t they absolutely adorable! 

The Avery Black Printer-Compatible Tags With Strings (AVE22802) are pretty awesome too.  I have so many ideas for them!   Here are just a few ideas that my partner and I have come up with so far.  We haven't quite decided how we are going to use them yet.  

• attach to little gift bags we will be giving to them for their birthday & Christmas.
• attach to a jar of jam/jelly at a wedding (next June)
• attach to a basket of books with the reading level of them

The last product I received was the Avery Tri Fold Brochure With Tear-Away Cards (AVE16152).  These are absolutely wonderful.  There are 4 tear away cards that will be perfect for what I'm going to use them for.  As a teacher, I always give my parents a pamphlet with information that their child needs to learn in first grade.  I haven't quite decided what I want to put on these cards, so I haven't printed them out yet.  So far my teaching  I have come up with putting this on the cards:

1. My name, email address, classroom website & cell phone number.
2. Our school name, phone number, and fax number.
3. Dates that the school will be closed for holidays, professional days, etc.
4. Important dates they need to save for our field trip, assemblies, etc.

I think my parents will love having this cards with some pretty important information for them.
