More Deals!

What do I love more than Target??? Target DEALS! So thanks to the blog Target Treasures (maintained by a kindergartened teacher-how ironic) she has been keeping me updated on the amazing bargans! This week FREE scotch tape! Just print the coupon and go for it. On her teaching blog she also mentioned a deal on glue sticks so I will have to check that one out when I get there. To check out her site click on her button on the left. And have fun shpopping!

Lego Math

I  came across this great lego math idea from The Kent Chronicles and put it in a word document to use in the classroom. If you would like a copy click HERE. I think the boys especially will love it and I can even see them making their own after!

Guess Who....A Class Book for You!

This one is for my teacher friends! Here is a class book I made for back to school. The kids will take it home and fill out their pages and bring back to school. I will bind it together to make a great first class book. If you download it please leave me a comment and let me know what you think! Also become a follower for more!

Target Deals and even some Steals!

I know it is only July but any bargan shopping teacher knows how quickly things get snatched up! I went to Target today and hit the Dollar Spot teacher jackpot! Check out my loot:

Pocket charts, name tages, stickers, awards, cardboard book bins, posters, all $1.00 and even the baskets (they were only $2.50)

Also see the sharpies and pens?? Target is running a coupon for 1.oo off each if you print it from their web page. Well the Sharpies are on sale this week for 1.00 this week so they are FREE and the pens are 1.03 final cost = .03

 I am totally going again tomorrow! Happy shopping!

Blog Addict

I am quickly becoming addicted to reading teacher blogs! I think it is because I don't have the time during the school year to really get deep into them. But I am so excited to share what I have learned. I have found some AMAZING new ideas for the upcoming school year!

Learning All Around

Summer is only one week in and I have already had a chance to go on an adventure! Sometimes it is easy to forget that summer is not just about taking a break from the day to day school routine but it can also be about taking advantage of the learning opportunities all around our local area. There are so many interesting and great activities in this area that your child will not only enjoy but will learn from and remember for years to come.

I had the chance to spend a day with my Dad for a late Father's day and we visited the Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls. We had a great time and I recommend it as a fun family activity!

So here are a few of the things that are local and great for families see if you can check off any of the following on your list, or add some new ones to mine, I have added links if possible.

Niagara Falls

Old Fort Niagara

Local Farms for fruit/veggie picking ( Browns Berry Patch, Blackmans, Becker Farms)

Bison Baseball

Local Beaches (Beaver Island, Bennett Beach, Sunset Bay, Crystal Beach CA)
