Not from me.

I do large lettering on the pooter now.

I used to spend hours cutting out fancy letters.
I know you can buy them, but I'm not doing that either.

I meant from anyone in school or my LEA. I have a class of 30 year 3 and 
4 children, 6 of whom cannot yet read at a standard that gets them to 
the stage 4 Oxford Reading Tree books, and one of those is looked after 
by severely deaf grandparents. In addition 1 other child is on the 
asperger's spectrum, 2 have dyslexia (1 receives out of class support 
once a week) and 1 has dyspraxia. I'll have enough on my plate trying to 
do them all justice, and will have more than enough for the one morning 
support TA to do without worrying about displays.

I'd like a plan for each of your boards and at least one per week to

Publisher for banners. I don't use it for much cause it's a resource

Umm...

I have to draw up a plan for boards. It would be quicker to do them
myself, which is how it ends up.
The TAs are there when the children are and we can't put up classroom
displays when the treasures are in the rooms.

Yup. One TA once a week when the children are there is all I have. And 
as she doesn't start work until 9am I'm lucky if I get a chance to talk 
to her before they come through the door. She also has a 15 minute break 
during class time because she has to be outside with the little darlings 
at the 'proper' breaktime. And assemblies are now in the afternoons so I 
can't even beg 5 minutes out of assembly time to talk to her. We have to 
do it on the hoof.

That so rings a bell.
I had a TA who used to arrive exactly when the lesson started and then
sat there with a face on her cos she didn't know what she was supposed
to be doing.
She then left 15 min early cos she was also a dinner lady.

I solved it by writing her work for the day in an exercise book that I
put on her table so she had no excuse for not reading it when she
arrived.

Not having an excuse also annoyed her.
