I think I am in love....

I have (finally) starting reading The Daily Five by the sisters. I am so excited about getting to implement this in my room next year. We have a "centers" mindset on my campus and I am glad that I have the research to back up what sounds so right. All of the work for centers can be so time consuming and I love all of the ideas. I am ready to work on some Read to Self.

On another note, I went to Goodwill and Dollar Tree with the MIL today. Awesome finds! Goodwill had paperback books 5 for $0.99 and hardback books 3 for $0.99. I spent only $5 on a ton of books. Finally found the book crates at Dollar Tree as well as some really cool sight word cards.

We also went and saw Bad Teacher. OMG, hilarious! 

Classroom Shopping Linky Party

I just wanted to share some of the great buys I have had since moving classrooms.

1) The Dollar Spot @ Target is the most amazing thing. I love stickers for everything and they have tons to use!

2) These awesome beach chairs for my library are on sale now @ Target for $4.99. My target had them in red and green only.

I should be getting all moved into my new room this week. I have some painting to do and then the BIG task of organizing my library. More to come soon!
