Back to school is often a time when teachers spend A LOT of their own money on supplies for the classroom.
This year I was so blessed to have some amazing donations to my classroom stash!
First there was a fantastic contest by McGraw-Hill. They filled a RedCube with tons of goodies that I wanted!
Please note the Amazon gift card in there. I cannot WAIT to attack my wish list - there are a TON of new mentor texts I want to purchase for writer's workshop.
I can't wait to dive into these books!
My firsties were so excited to see these card games being put in our indoor recess area.
You can never have enough glue sticks. Am I right?! Plus dry erase and Mr. Sketch. Yes please!!!
I may or may not have opened the Milky Ways immediately. Just. Saying.
I also took part in this years Reddit Teacher Exchange. What a cool idea this is! You should definitely check it out next year. It takes place each year in August. I got these amazing supplies from an anonymous donor. What generosity!
Clorox Wipes - because first graders love to share their germs! I go through Ziploc bags like water, so these will be particularly helpful. So excited about the thin dry erase and Mr. Sketch markers. Now I don't have to be so stingy when their markers run out, haha. There are also some Ticonderoga pencils on the way. Every teacher knows the value of Ticonderoga!
You may not think that page protectors are a hot item in first grade, but I use them a ton! We are using binders in writing workshop this year. There are a lot of resources I like my writers to have at their fingertips so they can be independent. They each need at least 10 page protectors in their binders. That adds up quickly!
Thank you so much to Tim at McGraw-Hill and my Reddit donor for these generous donations to my classroom!!!
