This is one of my favorite times of the year... Back to School shopping! I love the sweet smell of school supplies. I know sounds a little crazy but this is the norm for teachers. Scouring the dollar spot bins, dollar stores, Wal-Mart, Target, Big Lots, and more is oh so fun! Check out my latest finds...
Pic 1: You always need a good set of pens for the start of a new year and of course they are chevron!
Pic 2: I love these light bulb sticky notes. I am thinking these will be great for tracking their thinking or showing what they know or learned.
Pic 3: Part of my word work area is practicing spelling and vocabulary words on whiteboards. At the end of last year I found dry erase crayons and my kids absolutely LOVED them.
4. I found these alligator clips at the Dollar Tree. Won't these be amazing to teach greater than and less than?!?

| I will use the small notebooks as "Treasure Notebooks." The kids keep track of new vocabulary words that we read during read aloud, during their independent reading time, or vocabulary words of the day. I found the fly swatter at the Dollar Tree. The coolest thing is that it is retractable...it will be a HUGE hit! Love the dry erase pockets...so much to do with those. I also am always looking for new writing materials that either I can use for anchor charts or my students to use for collaborative work. |
More dollar store finds!
The top left corner has clear magnetic pockets. I loved the puzzle sticky notes. I am thinking cause and effect relationships, problem/solution, connections, question/answer, etc. My kids love non-fiction so I thought these Weird But True books would be a great addition to the classroom library.
Great finds! I love back to school shopping!!!!
