I just love linking up with Joanne over at Head Over Heels for Teaching for her Spark Student Motivation Saturday linky party!
I am a Vistaprint fanatic! They create first-class marketing products at a very reasonable cost. Sometimes you can get products for free and only have to worry about paying for shipping and handling. Through Vistaprint, I have created parent contact postcards (for positive and negative behavior), business cards, a class banner, magnets, and the product I’m highlighting today, “Whooooo Did A Great Job” student reward cards.
Positive Contact Card
I like these cards, because they can be given out for anything! Came in and immediately got started on bellwork? Get a card! Ranked #1 on our device activity? Get a card! Awesome participator today? Get a card! Students return their cards and I put them in a box for a weekly drawing where they can earn various types of passes (HW, Bonus Points, Missed Assignment). We’re required to make 5 positive parent contacts a month and with this card it is, as my DD says, easy-peasy!
And, like I said earlier, these cards were so inexpensive! I got 250 of them free and only had to pay shipping and handling. I ended up going back and ordering a second set, so I think I paid around $14.00 for 500 of them…..that’s it!
Do you have a creative activity that you use to spark your students’ interests? I’m sure you do, so head over to Joanne’s to share your wonderful strategies!
Until the next time!
I like those cards-so personal and adorable! I haven’t ordered from VistaPrint for a long time-I guess you’ve given me a reason to shop!! hehe
Thanks for linking up again Carla!

Head Over Heels For Teaching
Vistaprint is great! My Mom works at the local elementary school and demanded the principal have business cards. He’s now used them all over the place.
