Ok so it wasn’t my biggest pile of laminate and cutting ever but it was big enough (only 163 pages). I just hate it when I put off the cutting part. Laminating is kind of like doing laundry for me. I enjoy doing laundry, but I despise folding and putting away clothes. Likewise, I LOVE laminating. Heck, I have my own personal laminator at home and another one in my classroom (just in case) even though our school has two of their own. All my student teachers get laminators when they leave me just because I figure, if I love laminating so much, how could they NOT love it? It is my secret passion.
It’s so bad that you know how you sometimes can tell that someone has about 20 cats living with them because of all the fur they carry around on their clothing? Well, it never fails, I OFTEN have a little sniggle of laminate hanging off me somewhere at any given time. People must know I’m a teacher because of it. That stuff sticks to everything, socks, carpet, pets, husbands, even my children have been known to sport a tidbit of the slippery stuff when I haven’t inspected them before leaving the house. I tell them it’s the burden they must bare for being the child of a teacher obsessed with her laminator.
I think it’s TIME for you to do a little laminating yourself now since I’m passing along this little freebie to you. Go ahead and grab it up by clicking HERE or on the picture, all I ask is that you show me a little love by following my blog, facebook page or leaving me a comment.
It’s part of a larger unit, ‘It’s Spring Time-A diffferentiated telling time write the room activity’ available at either my TpT or Teachers Notebook stores.
Ok, it’s time for me to get back to cutting . . . and after that I’m sure I have some laundry to fold.
I share your love of lamination! Thanks for the great freebie!
Wow! That is a lot of laminating. Thank you for the freebie. Cute!
Oh sooooo cute. Thank you! I love my laminator too but it is getting old and I am waiting for one to go on sale on Amazon!! 🙂
Check your local Goodwill. My friend picked up my second one there for $2.99. I was sooooo happy. I could’t believe someone wouldn’t want a laminator!
OMG! That is a ton of laminating! Do you want to cut mine out as well! LOL!
Carried Away in Kindergarten
Thanks for the goodie. I got a laminator this year for my birthday. Felt like a little kid playing with a toy. I may need to get one to keep at school next year. 🙂 Where do you buy your ink from? That’s what costs me so much.
Oh yeah, ink is my downfall right now. Shhhhhh. Don’t tell my husband. He doesn’t have any idea how much ink I can use in a year. Luckily my little Samsung LP is better than the old inkjet we had.
I keep getting a 502 Bad Gateway error message when I try to download this freebie. Would you be able to send it to me via email? jgoetz5ATgmailDOTcom Thanks!
No problem. TpT was having some technical issues. It seems to fine now.
Thanks for the freebie 😉
Thanks! I just set up a telling-time-around-the-room activity. When I change it, I’ll use your much cuter cards!
Thanks Marsha for meeting someone that sounds just like me! But, I do like to cut the laminating out. lol I even bought a 25″ laminator just like schools have! That is bbbbbaaaaaadddddddd! lol
Thanks for the freebie. Now to my laminator. Janet
That’s awesome Janet. Now get back to that cutting!
Thanks Marsha! I loved to hear about your obsession with laminating! I do my laminating at school late in the evening or on the weekends because we have a particular 3rd grade teacher who likes to give the kindergarten teachers a bad time about how much laminating we use. Since I have discovered blogs and TpT, I haveseriously used up a lot more than my share. I’m sure I owe the school a full roll.
Thank you for the time freebie!
My students LOVE all of your I-Spy activities! I am hoping you will create one for the ocean…hint, hint! (not too subtle huh?)
Thanks for all you do!
Oh . . . you’re a closet laminator. I know about your kind. I used to be like you to but I now throw caution to the wind. Those 3rd grade teachers are just JEALOUS they don’t have the cool, fun games that we do in kindergarten to play. (I’m sure that’s not it but its what I tell myself). By the way, there will be an I-spy ocean themed activity coming out this week. Stay tuned.
Thank you for sharing the freebie:) I as well am guilty of my love for laminating! I have been razzed by numerous people…the IT dept I razzed when the laminator was broken. Our school cleaning lady, who has the hardest time getting the laminate off the floor and apologizes to me profusely. My para who helps me cut out EVERYTHING (so sweet, I’m so thankful!). And basically, I try to keep my love for lamination a secret from anyone else….
We are ALL Special!
That’s hilarious.
Someone needs to invent a self cutting laminating machine! I have a bag of lamination and I am *so* avoiding actually cutting it! And your spring freebie is adorable!!!
