While You Were Out Freebie

Happy Saturday, blog world!  Ahh it is almost noon on this glorious Saturday...confession?  I'm typing this in the middle of my unmade bed, still in my pj's, and it is SO NICE!  :o)  Handsome has already turned on the world of college football, and we have t-minus 3 hours until our Pirates play.  Arrrgh!!!

One of my students was absent the other day, and as always I pulled out my "We Missed You" page to attach to her missed classwork.  I wanted to share it with you.  It has made my life SO easy!  I used to use a regular piece of notebook paper just listing the assignments, but it took FOREVER!  I just couldn't find a printable that fit me, so I would continuously write the same template over and over again as students missed school.

Last year I finally broke down and took all of 3 minutes designing this:

Student Make-Up Work


**I just changed this so that it doesn't talk about being sick - I think I'm actually going to start using this one instead - thanks for asking Janae!  :o)

All you do is fill out the form, put the date somewhere up at the top, and then staple any missed work to this sheet of paper.  I usually send home the shared reading book and put it all in a gallon size ziploc bag.

If you grab this and like it, let me know by leaving a comment.  If you need it to say something different, I can change it too :o)



GO PIRATES!!!

  1. I love Saturdays! It is noon here, and I just barely showered. It is awesome! :) I love this print out. I have a lot of kids who miss school from appointments, vacations, sleeping in, etc. Could you make a generic one? One that doesn’t mention being sick?

    Thanks!

  3. Hope y'all can use it - thanks for the feedback and for checking it out! I am still figuring out how to make my own printables (without having to spend all that money for cute graphics), and am having so much fun in the process! :o)

  4. Thanks for changing it, Brenna. It's perfect! And I think I've learned that sometimes less is more when it comes to graphics. I also just learned about changing the lines on boxes and shapes. It make a world of difference! :)
