I know I blogged about this awhile back, but I just had to share again today! Our FREE teacher store is so amazing. As a teacher who never had one thing donated to her class before (no Kleenex, no sanitizer, no cleaning wipes, nothin!) I am SO THANKFUL for the generosity of the businesses and people who donate as well as the organization and people who run this place!! I have saved a TON of money this year by getting great resources that I normally would have bought myself. So here's a look at how great this month's trip was!!
Office supplies!! A 12 pack of black dry erase markers and a set of 12 thinner color dry erase markers. Binder clips and book rings, pencil grips, white out, post-it label roll and tabs, pencils, Sharpie highlighters and some fun holiday packing tape!
Art Supplies! Yarn in my favorite colors (pink and green) will work great for hanging things from the ceiling! A large jar of Mod Podge (if you've followed long you know this was an amazing find for me!!), Dot painters, really nice kid scissors, some punches (heart/star) and fabric markers!
Awesome Ink Joy pens!! In different colors :) These make me smile!
Frog, apple, and bus cutouts as well as frog name plates from Carson Dellosa! They had number lines, posters, and name tags too! Last month I got sentence strips!
A cute lunch bag! Pink caddie to hold dry erase markers on the white board (it's magnetic), and hand sanitizer!
I was able to get class sets of each of these titles!! My students love these books and I was so excited to be able to get so many for FREE!!
I also got these great books, and a few more that my kids have already taken to read before I take them into school!!
And this is just what I got in April!! We are able to shop once a month and I have gotten great things every single time! So if any of you who are responsible for the Teacher Store in Elkhart are reading this please know what a huge effect your having on classrooms! A great big THANK YOU from me!!!!
Wow! Those freebies are AMAZING!! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW! What amazing finds - I sure wish we had one of those in my state! :)

Hi Amy! I'm so JEALOUS!!! There is not a teacher store like that in my area - I checked after seeing some other bloggers posting about their finds. That is so great for you all though!!!

It is a small world. You work in the district where my father is principal! You are definitely blessed with such a great asset!!
