Free Classroom Poster Printables

August 25, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

It’s back-to-school time and I’ve been very busy making preparations as I start this year teaching at a new school. I’ve brought a couple car loads of books and other materials from their summer home in my basement to my new classroom.

I have a ‘home base’ classroom where my desk is located but will also be teaching in two other rooms so I bought myself a little cart to wheel from room to room. I consider myself a ‘traveling saleswoman of knowledge.’  Trying to be an optimist here!!

I’ve also designed two posters to hang in my room(s) based on some quotes I’d seen on Pinterest. I took my flashdrive to Staples and had prints made on 11×17 (‘tabloid size) glossy cardstock for $2 each.  Click on each image below and you can download the file FOR FREE!  My ‘back to school’ gift to you!

I also made up some cute signs to hang outside each of my rooms…
The person working at Staples laughed out loud when she saw the Abe Lincoln picture! My day is complete!  Good luck this year to all my fellow educators!

    Thank you for the posters, that's a great idea to have them printed at Staples. I can't imagine teaching high school! I teach 2nd grade and am setting up my classroom in a new school as well. I read what you wrote this summer about leaving your old school and I could relate! Good luck this year!
    P.S. I am painting my bathroom "Big Chill" from Sherwin Williams after being inspired by the lovely photos of your home. 🙂

      Thank you for the posters, Kelly-Anne! I've been trying to make things like these for my new classroom, but I don't have a program to make them. This is great! Happy new school year to you, too!

    Thank you so much for your creativity and sharing those posters! Love them! I think I'll print them for myself and a couple of my teacher friends at school. Good luck at your new school – a very exciting change!!

Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! 😍💗

Please don’t be fooled, though…these are close up shots for a reason- the house is FULL of moving boxes, piles of stuff to be organized and put away, and the DIY project list is LONG! 

But finding small little pretty corners is bringing me a little bit of joy and I hope they do the same for you, friend! 💗🙂#
I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” d I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” decorate,  but we needed some functional storage and a “drop zone” near the entrance we most use so I threw together this little area with things I already had…and the best part is, everything is thrifted! 😍 

Eventually, I’ll put wallpaper above the beadboard and will give the fireplace a makeover. But for now, just trying to tackle the endless boxes to unpack and breakdown (peep that pile of cardboard at the end of the video)!!
Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in th Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in the works for a while but I wasn’t quite sure how/when/what I wanted to share. If you’ve been here since my Maine days, you know just how much I enjoy sharing all things DIY and home decor and I’m looking forward to doing just that. 

I know questions will inevitably arise about the circumstances of this move but I will likely keep those details private. We are still in Virginia, not too far from the farm, and are settling into our new routine. 

In true ‘Crafty Teacher Lady’ style, this house is a fixer upper, just like most of my previous homes. It’s in a lovely neighborhood in an adorable town and I’m excited to make some happy memories here as I turn this little house into our home! 
 
C requested pink walls (which I obliged) and Stanley has also already come to visit a few times during family movie nights and he has given his ‘seal of approval’ to the fenced-in backyard! 🤣🥰🐕 

More to share soon (likely in stories) as I continue to tackle my very long list of home projects! 💗
