This is a great group with wonderful ideas that has taken off like a shot. I love it!
In honor of Earth Day (and every other day), a homeschooling mom decided to start a group for all interested in going “green”. Whether you are new to “green living”, or have been living it your whole life, there are a lot of simple things we can do for a healthier life and a healthier planet.

I was looking in a paper craft magazine July 2006 and found a few big punches that fold to shape like little file folders and library pockets. I actually have one that is shaped like little file folders - I got it for our scrapbooking. It’s dimensions are 1-7/8″ x 1-3/10″. Here’s the link to the manufacturer’s website straight to the picture of what it looks like: Mini File Folder Punchie. I’m sure I can incorporate the punchie into our games.
Here’s what the mini library pockets look like: Mini Library Pockets.

Office Star Teacher Program seems to have changed since I posted the information on the website. I posted from their info sheet that you’ll receive a 5% discount on every purchase you make. Now their website says you’ll get 10% back on ink, toner & paper and 1% back on nearly everything else. Print services are still 15% off. Obviously, I’m headed to Office Depot this week.
