1-2-3 Come Make A Back-To-School Treat With Me!

Are you looking for an inexpensive little something to give your students as a welcome treat on the first day of school?

You've come to the right place.

I've designed several money templates that you might enjoy: A "You're going to have a grand time in (grade)" and "Welcome to school. You're worth a million!" that make sweet bookmarks.

The US never created a million dollar bill, but some novelty shops sell them for gag gifts.

They feature everything from The Statue of Liberty, to various presidents and even Betty Boop!)

There was however, a real thousand dollar bill (featuring Grover Cleveland).

The largest bill the government ever made was for 100 thousand dollars (featuring Woodrow Wilson).

Whenever I'm designing something, I love doing a little research. I found an excellent article telling the stories behind large-denominaton currency. Click on the link to learn some fascinating facts.

How To Make A Back-To-School Bookmark:

Print a copy of the template of your choice. I've made one for every grade from preschool to high school.

Trim a photo of yourself so that it fits into the oval. Run the template off on light green construction paper.

If you want, buy a 100 Grand candy bar for each child and include that as an extra special TAKE IT HOME treat.

You can also wait, and take a first-day photo of each student.

To make cutting ovals of student photos quick and easy, make an oval template by printing off mine.

Trim and then trace onto a sheet of clear contact paper, lamination scrap or overhead projector paper, and trim.

You can now place the clear oval on your students’ pix, trace and cut out.

Run off the blank money template on green construction paper. 

Print, trim and glue their photo inside the oval.  Laminate the page to make a bookmark that's sure to become a special keepsake.

You may want to make extra copies and turn this into a back-to-school bulletin board.

Die cut black and green letters to say: "We’re having a grand time in (grade)." Alternate the letters in an ABAB color pattern.  A yellow background will really make your board pop.
