School is back in session and TeachersPrintables.net has 90 new teachers printables that make class prep a snap. There are four new categories and a whole slew of new organizational templates, signs, and worksheets.

If you want some open-ended craft materials for students to work with, I now have foldable paper templates and stencils to use in lessons or art. The foldable paper teaches students how to fold a page into, a shutter, a booklet, a matchbook, and more. The printable stencils can be used for tracing, cutting out, or practicing numbers and letters.

If your students have a hard time remembering or learning the structure, meter, and scansion of a poem type, use the new poetry templates that provide structural tips and rules for writing different types of sonnets, cinquains, haikus, and limericks. They’re perfect for English and theater classes.

Finally, I’ve got quite a few printable signs and classroom labels for different grades throughout a school. Colorful diamonds decorate the background of classroom signs for Kindergarten through 12th Grade. Illustrated labels are available at four per page for book baskets, reading levels, and assignments.

Altogether, TeachersPrintables.net has 586 grade book pages, lesson plans, seating charts, and parent logs for teachers and students. Stocking a classroom and keeping it organized doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult, which is why each form can be downloaded and printed individually, for free. Or, to save time, I have the entire classroom collection available with a bonus of 400 additional printables and worksheets for only $27 (single license) or $67 (whole-school license).

SignLanguagePrintables.com has been a great addition to the FreePrintable.net sites, providing users with American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling signs for classrooms and art projects. Now I’m adding a new type of sign language: baby signs. Colored and uncolored, these are great for teaching infants the first steps in communication.

Nurseries and toddler rooms are the best places to hang the full-color baby signs. Try to reinforce the lessons as much as possible by helping your toddler mimic the smiling boy in the pictures as he or she signs out the words “Want,” “Dad,” “Mom,” “Play,” “Thank You,” “Airplane,” “Hungry,” “Sad,” and more.
If you’d rather teach a lesson alongside art time and fun breaks, try using the line art baby signs as coloring pages as well. This can make the lessons more relaxing and enjoyable for your child.

SignLanguagePrintables.com signs are free to download and print as a PDF. The whole ASL collection is available for only $9 and features the labeled and unlabeled alphabet.

The perfect resume is one that highlights your best features and catches the eye of a recruiter or employer. Since there are a lot of different circumstances with changing factors, I’ve got 24 new resume templates that provide all the variety you’d need to apply for a job.

There are several new modern resumes that employ bold, selective uses of color. Others are creative in their use of white space, arrows, hanging text, and large print. These draw attention to your name, your skills, and your artistic flair. There are also new business card resumes, if you need a quick reference while networking.

Applicant Tracking Systems are big now, which are automated machines that scan resumes, searching for key words. If you need a resume for that, you don’t want anything fancy that can be misread. I now have functional, chronological, and academic ATS resumes, which are stripped of all but the most basic formatting.
There are 186 professional, informal, academic, and basic resumes at InstantResumeTemplates.com. Each DOC file is free to download and print. They can all be edited first in a word processor.

Back-to-School shopping is a stressful event for parents, teachers, and students alike. I’ve always thought that if you can stock up at home without having to drive around, you should. With that in mind, I’ve assembled a huge number of education printables that can be printed immediately from a home computer. Whether you need them for a class, the whole school, or homeschool, they’re all effective homework, study, and lesson templates.

My main hub for teachers of any grade is TeachersPrintables.net, where I have classroom printables for the whole school, and home, too. There are library, testing, and classroom signs for various grades, as well as hallway passes, parent communication forms, and school calendars. For individual teachers, there are seating charts, lesson plans, grading rubrics, and homework templates that make planning a day (or the academic year!) a little easier. Files are free to download and print as either a PDF or, in most cases, a customizable DOC. However, if you want access to all 530-plus templates in one place, I recommend getting the teacher collection (licensed for use by a single classroom) for $27, or the whole-school license for $67.
Certificates are a great way to instruct, motivate, and reward students. That’s why I’ve got plenty of education certificates at FreePrintableCertificates.net. These diplomas and awards recognize students for participation, attendance, reading, graduating, counting, spelling, behavior, musical achievement, performance, language, and more. Each one is colorfully illustrated and styled to be cute, fun, elegant, or professional. Certificates are free to print as a PDF. A customizable DOC version can be purchased for $5 and typed into using a word processor.
There are 1,352 printable printable paper templates at PrintablePaper.net, and all of them are useful for the school year. There are typical templates that provide lined notebook paper and standard graph paper designs, but there are also really interesting creative ones too for special art projects, mapping, and design. These include 3D paper, comic book story panels, music staff paper, polar graph paper, and logarithmic paper.

If you’re a teacher, you could probably use some occasional forms and ideas for activities and lessons. Fortunately, I’ve got two helpful sites on that front: InstantWorksheets.net and FreeWritingPrompts.net.
InstantWorksheets.net provides hundreds of printable worksheets that can be used as homework or classroom activities. The various forms range from preschool to high school and teach concepts and information concerning the alphabet, biology, history, social studies, and grammar. While all of the worksheets are free to download and print, a monthly membership is only $4 and provides unlimited access to the custom math problem generator.
FreeWritingPrompts.net has hundreds of writing prompts for narrative, persuasive, and instructional essays. There are also many ideas for creative fiction stories and character development. Essay prompts are divided up by categories, holidays, and grade levels. You can lift the text from each prompt, or download and edit it as a DOC.

Finally, I have homework, test, and study printables to help students learn from home. PrintablePlanners.net is the best organizational resource, with more than 380 printable planners. Some of those planners are crafted especially for students and can help track grades, schedule courses and application materials, organize homework, and plan for tests. They all come with nice, colorful designs and a three-hole punch marker so that they can easily be put into binders. PDF files are free to download, while an editable DOC version is available for $4.

The other great resource for studying is PrintableFlashCards.net. There are 300 flash cards that users have created on every subject from biology to ancient history to language translations. You can make your own, too, on any subject you like, by using my free flash card maker.
Whatever you do, make sure you’re prepared for the upcoming year and that you cram in the rest of your summer fun while you can!

If you run your own business, need a company logo, or just want to update your own personal image, you can probably find something in the batch of 31 new business cards up at FreePrintableBusinessCards.net. Illustrated, fun, funky, and professional, there’s a lot to choose from here.

Make your skills and your services known with the new job cards that advertise your business. There are templates for Karate, Interior Design, Bookkeepers, Bodyguards, and Librarians. Each one has a picture or silhouette related to their field, or depicting a person engaged in service work.

For everyday hobbies and fun, you can always download a personal business card with a defining image. There are some featuring a Celtic Cross, a Horse, Metal Textures, Jewelry, Hearts, and Flowers. These also work well for gift shops and event planning.

There are currently 1,327 business card designs to choose from at FreePrintableBusinessCards.net. All are available to download and print as a DOC file. A free version is available with a permanent URL of the site, whereas the editable version has a removable URL and costs $3. You can make a custom card with the QR data code generator that transmits the information of your choice, or the photo business card generator that lets you upload a custom picture.

I’ve got a mix of professional and personal templates up at PrintableLabels.net this week, with the 30 new printable labels covering bother CD/DVD labels and shipping labels for retail providers.

For people trying to get their computer organized or their hard drive backed up, I have new designs for disc labels. Whether you’re burning a movie, photo album, documents, or music, you can add some flair and a splash of color with these fun, abstract illustrations. There are even a few that feature film strips and camera lenses to help you organize content by category.

If you have business-related label needs, I have more shipping labels for warehouse companies. Mostly rectangular and featuring backgrounds of bright red, green, and yellow, these labels feature important information like “Keep Frozen,” “Do Not Drop,” and “Fragile—Handle with Care” in big, block letters.

PrintableLabels.net has 377 address labels, mailing labels, and canning labels. They all print onto various standard label templates found through Avery. Each one is free to download and print as a DOC or PDF.

There are 25 new page borders at PageBorders.net, and it is a pretty cute batch. Kids especially will like the cartoon designs of animals, creatures, and desserts.

The creature page borders cover everything from bugs to jungle animals to fuzzy, unidentified monsters. They’re all brightly colored and incredibly fun. They can be used for class projects, art backings, or picture borders. There are also some tasty cartoon designs featuring frosted cupcakes.

On a more serious note, there are several subdued, prayerful Christian page borders for religious users. These include pictures of praying hands, the rosary, stained glass, the Christian fish, and crosses. These are excellent as personal or family stationery.

PageBorders.net has 375 templates that can be downloaded and printed for free as PDF, DOC, PNG and JPGs. Categories include school, holidays, recreation, and sports. PageBorders.net is the sister site of FreePrintableStationery.net, which has more than 400 stationery templates in similar categories.

Teachers and parents know how hard it is to make chores and other menial tasks fun for kids, which is why I have new 20 chore charts that can help. Whether it’s adding incentives or just turning it into a game, these chore charts are more likely to get results.

Many of my new additions are the brightly-colored chore bucks, which are a great way to offer kids a reward without getting into actual money. Chore bucks can be collected over the course of a day, week, or month, and then traded in for small prizes or for privileges like extra screen time, staying up late, or double dessert. The new currency features smiling faces and pretty, pastel colors.

The more traditional task charts for this round focus in on specific chores such as outdoor, nursery, classroom, and money chores. There are ones specific to school or family, and a no-nonsense template titled simply, “Do Your Chores.”

There are 148 printable chore charts at ChoreCharts.net that cover chore wheels, behavior charts, reward charts, and charts for personal care. Printable PDF files can be downloaded, printed, and written on by hand, but if you want to edit them in a word processor, a DOC version is available for $5.

If you run LibreOffice or OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Word, you probably know by now that a lot of DOC designs don’t translate to ODT very well. Fortunately, I have 26 new Libre Office templates at LibreOfficeTemplates.net and Open Office templates at OpenOfficeTemplates.

A lot of the new templates are great for staying organized. The most important of those might be the medical forms that track everything you might need for an emergency or doctor’s visit. These include a list of Medical Procedures, a Medication Log, Medical Wallet Cards, and a Medical History Form. They can make health appointments go a lot more smoothly. In addition to medical forms, there are also lists for daily errands, a two-day planner, invoices, and fax cover sheets.

For genealogists and student projects, there are several new family tree templates. These include decorative, illustrated family trees, as well as others that include blended families with half-sibling and stepparents, and vital statistics for ancestors.

All of the templates at OpenOfficeTemplates.com and LibreOfficeTemplates.net are free to download, edit, and print as an ODT file. Both sites feature 92 the personal, business, resume, invoice, and planner printables from the various FreePrintable.net websites.

Staying organized on your own is tough, but keeping everyone who comes to your house organized is a whole other thing. Well, at PrintableToDoList.com, I’ve got a batch of new printable lists that keep everyone at the top of their game.

The new informative to-do lists are great for communication purposes. There are attractive lists that you can leave behind for the babysitter, housesitter, or houseguest. With a colorful, decorative background, they’re great information sheets for providing contact numbers, internet passwords, home layout, and storage locations. There are also cleaning checklists, and a checklist for people who are about to leave the house (save yourself a trip to your kid’s school with her forgotten textbook!)

There are also some handy checklists for figuring out your life. What exactly are you looking for as you search for a job, start a diet, or try to buy a house? Sometimes it helps to write down what’s most important to you first. On a more casual note, you can also plan your spring and summer fun with the bright, illustrated holiday checklists for the different seasons.

There are more than 65 to-do lists available at PrintableToDoList.com. They are all available for free to download and print as a PDF or editable DOC file. PrintableToDoList.com is the sister site of PrintablePlanners.net, which has 387 printable planners for school, travel, and events.
