Saturday: Sweet Deals at the Dollar Spot

I'm baaaaack!  (I've always wanted to say that!)  Told you I wouldn't be long.  :)  Here's some of the great things I found at the Target Dollar Spot.  They really should just rename that place to be the Teacher Spot!

Stacking Boats & Fisherman Pails
Stacking boats for our transportation water table!  Fisherman pails for our fishing for letters game!  They've also got the pails in a TON of other colors, including cute Valentine's Day ones and primary colors.  I use the primary colored ones to hold supplies for our color-coded table groups.

Double-Sided Dry Erase Boards
Glad I found some more of these, I needed to restock a bit!  :)  And of course they have the dry erase markers, and the mini magnetic dry erasers which are absolutely amazing.

Pretend Play Money & Coins
I have been looking FOREVER for pretend play money and coins that's not ridiculously expensive, and here it is!  Yay!

Valentine's Scrapbook Paper
I love using their scrapbooking paper to spice up the writing center!

Assortment of Items for Valentine's Day Centers
Not sure how I'm going to use all these yet, but I'll figure it out.  I love the funky foam heart sunglasses and the pink dice!  I also love the mailboxes but I am bummed that they only had red.  Last year Target had at least four different colors.  I KNEW I should have pounced on them (even though I didn't have a classroom, and we were living in a cramped apartment...)!

Stickers and Sticky Notes
Yay for cute glitter stickers and sticky notes!  I bought cute cupcake sticky notes for all my coworkers for Valentine's Day.  I LOVE these glitter stickers, going to use them to spice up our handwriting letter racers if my foam cubes ever get here in the mail.

Don't forget to enter my transportation unit giveaway!  Today is the last day to comment on the blog post to be entered to win.  I will be picking the winner tomorrow!  :)  I just revised my transportation unit to include a 2-D shape memory game, more rhyming trains and the fishing for letters/letter sound activity, plus some other revisions.  Good luck!

Holiday Customs & Belated Friday Freebies

Saturday is here and Christmas Break has begun!  Well, in my case it's a 4 day weekend, but I'll take it.  I confess I am very jealous of my peers right now that get a two week break.  But I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a good break, and I can't wait to see the exciting stuff you create!  :) What a busy week it has been!  Between practicing for the Holiday Song Program, doing the Holiday Song Program, recovering from the Holiday Song Program, I'm not sure how we accomplished anything at all!  But accomplish we did, and largely thanks to you, my wonderful fellow blogger teachers!  I am so thankful for the great resources you make and share, they were a lifesaver this week for sure!  Here's a look at our week of Holiday Customs Around the World: Art Snowflake Craft Stick Ornaments (Parent Gift) These turned out so great!  I poured some craft (tacky) glue a bowl and they used Q-tips to place glue onto their gemstones.  Then, they put

There's No Place Like Space: Outer Space Adventures & Friday Freebie

TGIF!!!  What a week!  I absolutely adored seeing my kiddos learn about space, but this week was a toughie.  Sick and tired kiddos do not make for a happy class.  Everything kept going the wrong way: food spilled on the newly cleaned carpets, bloody noses on the newly cleaned carpets, bathroom accidents during the middle of centers, pink-eye working its' way around the room, forgotten materials at home, the printer at FedEx Office went haywire and messed up my play-doh mats, the copy machine at work broke, I broke the side mirror of my car coming out of the garage... Yikes!  I was seriously scared to leave my house this morning!  :)  So here's hoping the stars re-align this weekend and my class comes back rockin' and rollin' and ready to learn on Monday! With all that being said, it was still a fun and jam-packed week.  I loved overhearing one of my kiddos tell his parent, "Mom, did you know the sun is ACTUALLY a star?!?!"  And I got to test out another
