I was out with my son today doing some errands when we decided to stop by a new Dollar General store in our area. It was much bigger than the one we have closer to our house. I was excited to see that they had some educational things there... all for a $1!!!!
This photo is of all the loot together...
I was excited to get these cute number banners. Not sure where any of it will go in my classroom just yet, but I was thinking in a math center on the wall or back of a cabinet??
They also had these "award" frames, I think that's what they were called. You can put artwork, special homework or photos of the kids in them. Again, hopefully I have a spot for them on the wall somewhere. If not, I will use them at home with my own kids, for a $1 I couldn't pass them up.
I think my favorite one is this "I Spy" Spinner. I work with 4 & 5 yr old TK students and this is a great beginning of the year game we can play. I think that eventually, when they are comfortable playing it alone, I will put it in a center to be used whenever they want.
I love getting good deals. Creating a whole new classroom isn't always easy on a teachers budget. I have a lot of things from the daycare, but some of it is to young for this group. I am excited to be setting off on this journey, I think it is going to be a great year. Now, off to make some TPT copies for my Beginning of the Year Centers :)
I found those same frames at my Dollar General yesterday. I am trying to decide if I just do 6-8 for Star Quality Work or have one for everyone. I just keep thinkging "not everyone gets a cookie!"
