Finders Keepers & Giveaways

I must admit I am in full summer mode. I have heard rumors of back to school shopping, but I am resisting that section in full force. I have over 5 weeks left and I am already dreading its end, but know I will love it when I do.
So I went to Target twice this week (and so glad I did). And no shopping for teaching supplies was not the reason I went either. The Dollar Spot has my name and called me to visit...a few times.

On my first trip I found these. Thankful I went when I did because they were all gone a day later. Crazy!

I have always wanted it something like this. Now I don't have to make them. Yes the middle is chalkboard paint so I can write on them. Yippee! I got seven thinking I would use them for tables and for my pencils sharpen and need to be sharpen system.

Then later I saw Christina at Buntings, Books, and Bainbridge had STAR STUDENT chair backs. So I went back to look for those. This is what I ended up with.

Not gonna lie I am pretty excited about the self inking stamp for student work.

I must admit I am a huge thrift store shopper! It is like an adventure seeing what you are going to find. I find some great bargains for myself and these for school.

I plan on turning both Candy Lands into literacy games. My students last year loved the Sight Word one I created.

I also love rock picking and beach combing. I am pretty sure it is a genetic trait in my family because many of us have a huge interest in this. This find was like a treasure!

I know there are a ton of giveaways going on but here are some you should check out.
