Dollar. Spot. Target. Need I say more? Goldmine! (Although honestly, when I saw they were in full back-to-school mode – panic struck). I was able to snag a TON of Dr. Seuss pencils, erasers, crayons, and "hats." There were also these mini Dr. Seuss tote bags. I picked up four, knowing I could use them for a center or cool "special person/reader/student/guest" thing. I also grabbed adorable speech bubble post-its and sparkly button magnets. Fun times!
You could not pass those bags up, right? |
The swirly straws on the top right corner were not from the dollar section. Those gems are tucked away in the party section. I busted out the big bucks and dropped $3 per package. So worth it. I turn them into their birthday treats for the year using an idea from Once Upon a First Grade Teacher:
How easy?? I tape one of these on each straw, put it in a recycled container, and POOF! A fun, non-edible birthday treat!
And finally...
I purchased this adorable mini filing portfolio. I think I can put sight words for my strugglers, word study ideas, stickers...anything! The other packages are three packs of reusable sandwich bags. I think these might be my favorite. There is just so much you can do! I pictured sending my kiddos home with their sight word cards tucked neatly in so that they can practice at home. 3 in each package at $1 per package! I am trying to curb my spending, but I just see these deals and it's like I can't help it! This is what I looked like after:
I am trying to avoid doing too many teacher things over the summer, but it is just impossible. When I am not planning for my wedding, I am pinning. When I am not pinning, I am planning for next year. Can't help it. Most teachers can agree.
And something completely random, leaving you with a laugh:
