Who doesn't love a good sale, right?! I know I do! And this weekend I am putting my best selling item: "Helping Hands Take Home Volunteer System" on sale for 40% off all weekend (Friday-Sunday)!
Not only is this the most popular item in my store, it is also the most popular option for parents/guardians to choose to volunteer! I had 16 out of 22 parents/guardians be a take home volunteer last year! It was such a valuable system and so easy-peasy to use!!
This packet has everything you need to begin utilizing your Helping Hands take home volunteers system!
These thank you gifts included in the packet were a BIG hit with my take home volunteers this past year and I plan on using them again this year!
You can get a jump start on next year by grabbing this Volunteer take Home System for 40% on TPT this weekend only!
This is SUPER awesome. Found you through Pinterest, and just followed your TpT store.

This idea sounds great--but what do you use it for? Do you allow parents to grade papers? Because that & lesson planning are what take up most of my after-hours work. (Well, except for pinning new ideas for my classroom but I'm not giving that one up!)

Hi Terri! Thank you so much for your comment and questions! I don't have parents grade papers for confidentiality reasons, but I do use the Helping Hands system for:
Delete-cutting lamination
-tracing and cutting templates for craftivities
-assembling and stapling paper books
-preparing various activities for science and holidays
I used to spend so much time doing those things, on top of the already time consuming lesson planning, grading, and pinning! :) But now I have parents do as much preparing of activities as I can and it has been a great way to partner with parents and also save me mega hours!
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Oooooh, I'd never give up my laminating to cut! I LOVE cutting it out--don't know why, but I find it relaxing and it gives me something to do while I watch TV (which I don't do much). Also, the two times I let someone else cut laminating for me (a parent & a student teacher), they didn't do it right. I HAVE to have that little edge around the item; don't you dare cut it too close & nip the cardstock. ;-) As I follow your blog I'll keep my out for things you probably "volunteered out." I am on the lookout for a way to organize in-class volunteers so I always have things for them to do (aside from working with students).
ReplyDeleteThanks for your quick reply to my question.
