Peep Show

Well, I didn't make it to the classroom today.  However, I ran MANY errands and spent money that I shouldn't have! ;)

Then I came home and took a few pictures and worked on a few items!

Here is your peep show...

 My Target purchases. :) Boxes to hold my markers, erasers for prizes, the ABCD erasers for small group, fan that plugs in USB to keep me cool, NEON Sharpies because I'm awesome, coupon holders to hold username and password cards for each class, magnetic clothes pin for the board, and ping pong balls for my hubby! ;)

 Snack containers from the Dollar Tree were 2 for a $1 and are the PERFECT size for playing cards!!!  Hubby helped me sort the cards and get them in their own container.

Super excited about this, but not mentioning it yet! I hope it works out tomorrow! ;)

Check this out!!

Guess who has been shopping? Well, I am always shopping so that is no surprise.

I have hit those Target bins and purchased EVERYTHING that has already been blogged. I have also hit the Dollar Tree for those fold-able crates, but I also found something else!!!!

Are you ready???


I got these for $1, which is .50 for each!! It is a pencil sharpener and eraser in one!! These two things are something my students always need and will be GREAT as a gift on the first day of school!! Bad thing? They only had 14 packs. Which is enough for my homeroom, but not enough for ALL of the kids I teach. So I am definitely keeping my eyes open for more of these!!

Here is a picture of my bag all packed and ready to be emptied into my classroom, if only I could get in...



Oh, I forgot I got theses glasses at Hobby Lobby for $2 (VBS sale section). I know my kids will love these in the treat box!


Don't forget about my giveaway. I will be picking a winner this evening!!! :)

Calm Week

Wow, I am bad this week with the whole bloggin' thing. I have been reading every ones and their exciting lessons and ideas, but haven't felt inspired. This week we've had our state testing, tomorrow is our last day and then we're off on Friday. We've really not done a whole lot because when we are done with the test it is lunch time. After lunch the kids get recess (which they NEVER get because it isn't in our schedule) and then our day is pretty much wasted. We have watched many Magic School Bus videos this week, which the kids love!

Anyways, tomorrow will be the same thing. Then this weekend my MOM is coming to visit from Arkansas. I am very excited about that!!

Today I went to the Dollar Tree to pick up some items for our party. While I was there I found these two items and wanted to share!

Check out these two sticky notes. One says Did you... The other says Remember to... These will be perfect to pass the students a quick note during quiet times. What are your ideas?
When I saw this book, I really wasn't sure if it was worth a $1. However, there are 32 pages of information all about space. It includes planets, constellations, and telescopes! Great resource for $1. They also had one called Government.

Alright I am done for the night. I was trying to work on end of the year awards, but am lacking the motivation. Next week I promise I will be better! Good night!

OHHH SIDE NOTE: ALL THESE FIRST GRADE BLOGS MAKE ME WANT TO TEACH FIRST GRADE! I LOVE ALL OF YOUR LESSONS AND IDEAS! I WISH I WERE AS CREATIVE AS YOU ALL!
