Now on to my fabulous finds on a Saturday!
 
I was able to stop by the Dollar Tree and pick up some bright storage containers in my colors! I will be using the tote on the left for my "drop box." Students will be able to put their notes and lunch money in this instead of flooding my table in the morning. The containers in the middle will house my math games. The square containers on the right will be for the magnetic poetry and the other one will be for box tops.
 
Next stop was Target. I was able to find the purple pocket charts, a math bingo game, division flash cards and this cute basket. I will use the basket for story starters to use with Daily 5.
 



Last stop Wal-Mart. I was able to get 2 owl notepads in the 88 cent section. I finally found the letters that Tara at 4th Grade Frolics used for Letters for Learning. I found them in the scrapbook aisle! I was so excited when I seen these. :)

Now hop over to Fun in Room 4B to see more fabulous finds!

Monday Made It!

I'm linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for the first time today with her Monday Made It. If you have not seen her blog you need to hop over and take a look around. She has been a great inspiration this summer. Every Monday she posts things that she has made for her classroom or home from the previous week. My first project that I'm going to share are drawers that I'm going to use for my reading groups. I will be able to store the book that they will be reading as a group and the work that they will do with it in their own drawer. This will help me keep organized with each group that I will have. I made cute labels to go on the outside as well. Project #2.. I bought shoebox containers and made labels for different supplies my students will be bringing in the first day of school. I will have these setup at open house and have my students sort the supplies they will be bringing in. I want to do it this way because there will be some students that won't

Monday Made It #4

I'm so behind this week and need to get caught up today!! We had our county fair this past week and it was great! Justin Moore and Thompson Square performed this year and they sounded incredible! Now onto my projects that I have made this week. I'm linking up again with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics . Project #1... My inspiration came from this post she made a book that told about herself for the first day of school. Click on the picture and it will take you to her blog.   So I decided to do the same thing. The pages I used are: Mrs. Miller Family Pets Favorite Books My Favorite Things Here is my version. Project #2... I found this idea through Tara from her last Monday Made It. She used the Beach Ball poke game with multiplication. I went to the website of FlapJack Educational Resources and found the game Factor Pair Flip Flops. This game is similar but you have think of the factors that equal the number they give you. I made two games f

Fabulous Find Friday

I'm linking up with Elizabeth at Fun in Room 4B for a linky party called I went to Michaels a couple of weeks ago and scored some owl stuff for my classroom this year. The best part was most of it was $1! I'm going shopping again tomorrow to get stuff for my Monday Made It and will stop by Michaels to see if they have a couple more for the following school year. :) I have been trying to look for a rug to go in my classroom library area that was cute but cheap. I had one all picked out but waited a few days. This time I'm glad I waited because they added new rugs to Walmart online and I found one that matched my classroom colors perfectly. I can't wait to set this up in my classroom library. Now to get a couple of seats for the students. That may have to wait until I get my first check. I don't have any home finds since I have just been looking for my classroom lately. ~Ashley
