It’s been a minute you guys. I’m so sorry. If you are like me, then you are feeling the pressure of teaching during a pandemic. I don’t care if you’re virtual, hybrid, or face-to-face, teaching, no matter what it looks like this year, is a roller coaster of emotions and anxiety and the extra work has gotten this teacher BEHIND!!!

I had promised a couple of readers that I would put up a free banner for Valentine’s Day and so here I am. I’m so proud of this little accomplishment. It has been on my list of to-dos, and I can finally check it off.

I had to first come up with a little crafty something-something that would give our very white hallway a pop of color. Once again, Astrobrights papers came through with the BRIGHTS!!!

ROBOT LOVE

I never really have a template or plan for when I do these things. It’s always kind of what comes to me in the moment. I try to stick to basic shapes that I can reinforce with my students, and from there, it’s basically just lots of cutting and following directions. I’m never quite sure how they will end up, but I think this batch of lovely robots were kind of cute!

You can use my design if you choose. You can basically look at how I did it and do it for yourself, or you can make up a design of your own.

MY HEART “BEEPS” BANNER

While I don’t have a robot template, I do have the banner template for you. It’s super easy to print, cut and simply hang up with some twine and little clothespins. Easy Peasy. And it’s free for you.
