Target Finds

So, I finally made it to Target after seeing all of everyone in blog land with their great finds!  I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find the mini pocket charts with the dry erase boards on them.  Maybe  next time.

I found these cute Dr. Seuss items.  Erasers and Silly Bands.  Probably going to use these as treasure box reward items.



I found some cute wooden pointers, mini dry erase markers and magnetic mini erasers for the white boards. 



I found Smellies!  LOL. If you are thinking I'm crazy right now you have to read Mrs. Miner's super cool idea for teaching left and right at her blog http://kindergartenmonkeybusiness.blogspot.com/2011/07/teaching-left-and-right.html

Crayon Wreath for my door this year

I had a lot of fun making this.  It took one foam wreath, two rolls of ribbon, 4 boxes of crayons, and a hot glue gun.  I want to add a little something to it at the bottom.  Maybe a bow or something with welcome on it.

End of the year gifts for my students

So, with the gift card that I won, I purchased beach buckets for my kiddos.  I used my favorite new craft machine...the Silhouette SD craft cutter to decorate them. Check out the pics!  I only have to buy goodies to go in them now.
