Get in the School Spirit with These Free Printable Educational Coloring Pages
Fall is in the air and students are in their desks. The arrival of the new school year came quickly, but some students may still be in summer mode. To help them get into the school spirit, try a few of the free printable education coloring pages at ColoringBookFun.com. They are designed to help toddlers, preschoolers and even older children learn concepts like the alphabet, numbers and what a typical school day is like. There are many different options available under each category, so check them all out. You're sure to find several that will be appropriate for your classroom. All images are simple in design to allow the greatest amount of creativity from your students. Coloring is a fun individual or group activity. Explore what works best in your classroom!

Slide into the School Year with Free Printable Educational Coloring Pages
The free printable school spirit coloring pages are the go-to resource for teachers for getting young students acclimated to the classroom. Here's where you'll find coloring sheets depicting classroom- and school-related items that help students identify with the new environment. In this category, you'll find pictures of an apple, a backpack, a bell, a student award, a gym floor, a cap and gown, a chair and desk, a chalkboard, a globe and more. These are items that students will encounter nearly every day, but they may be intimidating to young ones just starting out. For the first few weeks of school, give them one of these pages every day to color. Ask them to identify the sights, smells, sounds and more that they associate with each of the images. Allowing them to process their emotions and senses as they color can be especially helpful toward acclimation.

Free Printable Education Coloring Pages for Older Students

This free printable schoolbooks coloring page is perfect for both young and older students alike.

There are many different ways to incorporate this coloring sheet into the classroom. To print this particular coloring page, simple click the print now button to print it right away.

However, if you'd rather wait until you're at your work computer to print these out, you can save the file and copy it to a flash drive or email it to your work email address. Feel free to share this coloring sheet with other teachers and parents, too. Coloring engages students in creative thought. It is a welcome, relaxed activity compared to the hectic schedules students are required to keep these days. Let your students unwind with a fun yet educational coloring activity.

Teacher Resources: Free Printable Rulers



Free Printable Rulers for Students
Free Printable Rulers for the Classroom
As a teacher, it's not easy to manage the sheer number of classroom supplies needed by students today. Glue, crayons, scissors, construction paper and rulers are just the start of a very long list of items needed in the classroom. Unfortunately, not all parents can afford to buy the items on those long lists, but their children still deserve the same educational opportunities as the others. In the free printable crafts section of PrintablesFree.com, you'll find a couple of resources that can be very helpful to those students: the rulers, bookmarks and stencils. These are designed to be high quality resources that provide accuracy and are free of cost. All you need for these tools are a printer and a computer. As with all of the printables there, they are completely customizable. Add your name or the classroom name to each sheet before it's printed out. It couldn't be easier!

Students Use Free Printable Rulers for Math Projects
The free printable rulers on PrintablesFree.com come in a variety of designs and styles. The wood pattern is one of the most popular designs, but the colored ones like green, blue, gray and purple are also favorites. There are rulers featuring owls, frogs, bees and bears for the little ones, too. All of the rulers feature centimeters along one side of the ruler and inches along the other. When printed correctly, the rulers go up to 10 inches and 25 centimeters. Instead of spending your own hard-earned money on plastic or metal rulers, print these rulers out for free. To make them last longer, print them on thick cardstock, laminate the entire sheet and then cut the rulers out individually. Each student can have an accurate, quality, durable ruler and it won't matter if it is lost or misplaced.

Free Printable Rulers for Boys and Girls
It's sometimes hard to find gender-neutral resources that can be used for both boys and girls, but there are a number of options that are suitable in among the rulers there. The free printable green ruler is one that is suitable for both boys and girls. It features a stylish wave design with light and dark green colors. Other good gender-neutral options include the wood pattern ruler, the black ruler and the grey ruler. Of course, both boys and girls like different colors, so there's no harm in printing out a good variety of colors to let each student have his or her own choice. After all, math is a lot more fun when you can inject some color and personality into it. As you can see in the example above (click the picture to make it bigger), I have customized the rulers with the teacher's name, the classroom number, the student's name or the school's name. You can use any of these options for your rulers or print them out as is. Either way, your students will enjoy them and find them useful when measuring things in the classroom.
