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!!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fQDVu0tM_Wd_6J7DLiWq6IHYOfRdFZLLQn9J4n-DezULL_8egTa4bvm1lXQspW_zvorIcpcAQQsEaPliNzs5xwG2UJcJ8XRLDAk5n7hEFfx9HX9YC63a_PQ6-DQ5xtoBRpFb7-NGJmsi/s640/os.png)
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!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fQDVu0tM_Wd_6J7DLiWq6IHYOfRdFZLLQn9J4n-DezULL_8egTa4bvm1lXQspW_zvorIcpcAQQsEaPliNzs5xwG2UJcJ8XRLDAk5n7hEFfx9HX9YC63a_PQ6-DQ5xtoBRpFb7-NGJmsi/s640/os.png)
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!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZ7UVvPb0Z_WKmibq1Ct-_IIX0B9nWNWb4F7KRB_LCh98_TQ-Dh7aphMouJ0mmJrwg0z3ZqfxeoaiFtvDIPWAy3DvTc23ypDKl2SuurtvoF04tmIMNwJ_4t1AjpJyk_ex283PM-YuAHJz/s640/pen.png)

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!!!
