HP Instant Ink and Promo Codes - Get More for FREE!

If you haven’t already heard about the HP Instant Ink program… let me tell you about it and give you some codes for some free months!  If you’re like me, I love to have colorful printouts, signs, labels, and activities in my classroom. 

 I used to think about how many trips I'd be making to Staples to get more ink... and ink isn’t cheap.  It was then that I discovered HP Instant Ink and it’s a game changer!  

Now, I don’t even think about how much ink something will require, I just hit the PRINT button!  

Seriously... I'd never print center signs like this without it!

First, you need an HP printer. You can see if your printer is eligible here. I chose the HP Envy 5660 because it works well for a great price.

Then, you get to pick your price point for how many pages you’ll want to print each month and you can change your plan if you don't have a lot to print.  If you don’t use the amount, there’s a certain number of pages that will rollover each month.

Here are the plans:

Occasional Printing

$2.99 a month for up to 50 pages

Each additional set of 15 pages for just $1.00

Moderate Printing

$4.99 a month for up to 100 pages

Each additional set of 20 pages for just $1.00

Frequent Printing

$9.99 a month for up to 300 pages

Each additional set of 25 pages for just $1.00

Updated: If you want more... contact HP ink and they can bump you up to a 500 page plan for 14.99!

Now for the fun part… free months!! 

When someone uses your sign up referral code you both get a free month- WOO HOO!

Here’s the codes you’ll want to use:

Use my referral code- gVPBH   and we will both get a free month.

Next, add on 6freeink for an additional 6 free months of ink!  Altogether, it’s 7 months of FREE printing and who doesn’t like free!

Update: sometimes the codes change- you can also try gVPBH   and 2MONTHSDJUK or FREEINK 

Get started by clicking here:

**As a bonus for using my referral code, I'll send you the Why Writers Write Posters for your room.  Just send me an e-mail here with the date and email you signed up for HP Instant Ink and I'll send you these posters for FREE!! **

Don't need the ink but want the posters? You can get them here.

Happy printing!

Crazy Cute Eaglets!

Is there anything more precious than an eaglet being born? 

 Our class watched DC 5, the second eaglet being born on the live DC Eagle Cam.  If you haven't already heard about it, the site provides a 24 hour web cam and audio for two bald eagles that built their nest in Washington D.C.  The bald eagles are appropriately named Mr. President & The First Lady and this is the second year they've done this. 

 It's a wonderful way for students to learn all about the life cycle of the bald eagle and experience it first hand.  Check it our HERE

You can watch it again here!

                                          Here's the site!

             The students also watched the female bald eagle feed the eaglets.

Watch as they grow right before your eyes.

When the eggs were still in the incubation period, the students learned all about eagles and their life cycle.  We wrote down what we knew about eagles and afterwards, checked if our prior knowledge was correct.

                  We read the book below that taught us all about bald eagles.

We created life cycles after reading all about the life cycle of an eagle.

 Here are some graphs we created.

We made these bald eagle projects last year... check out the original post here. 

 If you'd like your class to learn all about bald eagles that includes math and language arts activities, check out Bald Eagles HERE! Enjoy!

                   Here are some great books to read as well!

Don't forget to check out the DC Eagle Cam to view this majestic bird.  A word to the wise with any live feed, don't be surprised to see the occasional dead fish and/or duck being brought in for their next meal. 

You never know what's going to happen next.
