At the end of last year I gave my firsties "Ways to Write" over the summer. At the top I titled it, "Once a Writer, ALWAYS a Writer" hence where the signs came from. :) I really want my firsties to embrace that they are AUTHORS when they walk in my door as well, so this I made the second sign. I'm also thinking I will greet them at the door with a "Good Morning Author" "So glad you are hear Author", etc.
I hope you can use these in your classroom! :) Just click on the pictures for your freebies!

Your signs are very cute! I share your struggle with summer motivation - or the lack thereof. It's sooo hard not to waste time when you can! ;)
