1. Classroom Orders were due this month. I'm an uber nerd and love buying school supplies so I had my order in asap...in excel format. (This makes it easier for me and the secretary too--I hope)
Today I got my first packages!!
 |
| Dry erase sleeves from TeacherDirect--perfect when you want an instant wipe surface and can't laminate. ($15.88 for 10) |
 |
| HotDot pens (mine were no longer registering correct answers) |
2. Book Boxes have also been ordered. My IKEA box ones are in shambles. D5 (mainly the reading part) has been going strong since August...and here are the results.
 |
| I also heard IKEA doesn't have these anymore. |
 |
| I've ordered these from ReallyGoodStuff |
3. In math we're learning about calendar and time. I do a binder page with all this on it EVERY.SINGLE. DAY so hopefully we can breeze through this. I did find that least year the kids were pretty good at it but not so much their seasons.
I made this page and we decorated a tree from each season to talk about season attributes.
 |
| I made it at school and quit .ppt before I saved it!!! Aahh. |
4. I love Amazon.com
Today I got the case for my MacBook. Now it's even prettier. I got a gift for a baby shower and 100 Laminating pouches!!! I used FREE Super Saver Shipping and it still came in just a few days. (I ordered Tuesday and all my items came today)

| a photo I found on google--more accurate |
5. More about that collaborative blog
 |
| how cute is that! |
This blog is a group of bloggers that will provide freebies, products, tips & tricks, etc. I'm very excited to be a part of this. The first official post was posted today!!! Teresa over at Fun in K/1 posted a great Mother's Day idea (oh my---almost May already!)

I'll be sharing my first post on there in May! I'm very excited. Very likely I'll share a freebie (hint hint) but I'd also like to provide some kind of tip/trick that could be helpful. Anything you're dying to know more about? (hopefully I know something about it, too--haha)

Thanks for the comments. I tried replying but gmail is showing that some of you are no-reply commenters...so I can't email a reply and with my blog code I can't directly reply. Sorry!
I have been fortunate to still receive money though we're seeing cutbacks. I'm going to enjoy and utilize it while I can.
Have you checked out DonorsChoose.org?
My book boxes look A LOT like yours and we're on our second set! I bought cardboard ones from Target to start next year with, but am really debating order the plastic over the summer...Target has plastic ones this year too! *LOVE* their Dollar Spot!

I'm so excited about your Teaching Blog Roundup! I'm having the same problem with my Hot Dots pens. I like the fancy new ones you have! D5 has done similar things to my poor book boxes!

I use the book boxes from really good stuff for my kids' individual boxes and also for our classroom library. I have had NO problems with them and they are still just as sturdy as they were day 1 of this year!
