Have You Tried CANVA PRO?

Posted on By PassionateAboutTeaching 2 Comments on Have You Tried CANVA PRO?

I have a new love – well, yes, chocolate, pumpkin spiced coffee and fall scented candles – I love all these things too. However, when it comes to designing for my blog, online teaching, TpT products, or classroom, I use CANVA PRO. You name it, they’ve got it.

PRO is CANVA’s premium library of high quality designs. They have stock photos, backgrounds, elements, incredible fonts, and tons of designs. If you need a blog, Instagram, or Facebook Story, they have ready-made or blank templates. One of my new favorite templates is their CANVA SLIDES. You can even present straight from CANVA.Add in the professional elements, photos, and animations, and you’re definitely looking like a pro. 💜

Here’s a SLIDE I made for my online teaching:

Need a logo for your business, a poster, infographic, resume, invitations, you name it, CANVA has it. As a classroom teacher, I’m ecstatic that they have now added worksheets. I made this worksheet in CANVA. Click HERE to grab your FREEBIE “Let’s Describe With Sensory Language.”

 

And with CANVA PRO…”Never pay for another image again…Yes, you read that right. With Canva Pro, you get VIP access to all our high-quality stock photography and stock video library. It’s a subscription with unlimited possibilities and creativity.” Unbelievable, right!

Anyone Else Addicted?

Must Have Coffee
Must.Have.Coffee ☕️

Anyone else need this “magic liquid” (known as COFFEE) flowing through their veins first thing in the morning to function? Yes, I’m addicted!

As a matter of fact, I even bought a MINI K-CUP Keurig Machine for my classroom. 😂 This has been one of my favorite additions (in my opinion, a necessity for sure)!😉

I take the caffeinated KPods for the morning and decaf for the afternoon. Not only does it “hit the spot,” but it makes my classroom smell like Starbuck’s. Ahhhh!

Keurig K-Mini Plus Single Serve K-Cup

Cheers and happy coffee drinking (even while at school)!

A Home Laminator? Yes!

Posted on By PassionateAboutTeaching No Comments on A Home Laminator? Yes!

 

Scotch Laminator
Scotch Laminator

I know it’s not just me! Ever need something laminated, but you have to wait to laminate it at school (only to find out it’s out of film ) 😂or you have to take it somewhere and pay to get it done? That was me! When I started teaching online in 2018, I needed items laminated for longevity and needed it done quickly. Having my own laminator at my house has been a game changer! After reading about a few of them, I went with the Scotch laminator and am extremely happy with my choice.

I especially love how quickly it heats up. In addition, the lamination pockets that you purchase for this are heavy duty and come in a variety of sizes. My papers, charts, and products that I’ve laminated are definitely long-lasting.

If you’re in the market for your own laminator, I’d highly recommend this one! While you’re at it, you’ll want some of these heavy duty Scotch Thermal Pouches (talk about long-lasting). I love these!

Until next time and happy laminating,

Ambient Music for Tranquility

Posted on By PassionateAboutTeaching No Comments on Ambient Music for Tranquility

Long day at work? Love music? Yes and yes!

Music is my first “go to” for releasing stress. Ambient music is my first choice for zen and relaxation.

Try this ambient music for a quick stress reliever! I even find myself playing this music throughout the day at work. I have students comment on how the music calms then while thinking.
