For example, classroom rules, welcome signs, shapes, alphabet, numbers, number lines etc. Im a graduate teacher and I want to make my classroom shine but find im up till midnight most nights trying to make things. Please help me, I teach prep which is 5 and 6 years olds.
I'll ask around. But I do have a suggestion. If you have time, surf teacher created websites. You'd be surprise at just how generous most of these professionals are. They will allow you to download or print out just about anything they have on their sites. You might want to narrow your search down to "kindergarten teacher web sites."
It is much more cost-effective then trying to purchase them. It is much more time-effective than trying to do them yourself.
Here's a collection of websites for 'printables'. There are more than just posters, but if you can't use them, I'm guessing others will be able to use them.

Thank you I have looked at all of those websites and their are some fantastic downloads which i have done and now have to laminate. But unfortunately they are not exactly what im after. Ive heard of and used sparklebox and instantdisplays. Are there any other websites like these that you know of?
Hi, ... but your school year has only got one term left to go!!! Why are you asking now? Did you take over from someone who stripped the room bare and left nothing?
To catch eyes with room displays, you are so much better off buying LARGE stuff, and ready-made bulletin board sets..... not A4 charts etc they are too small for display. My co-teacher spent $3500 on her classroom in her first year teaching and I do the same after years of experience. Welcome to the real world of teaching early childhood
