I got my digital gift card to TARGET last night and was really excited to get shopping. I knew I wanted to use it for teacher related things... I ended up spending a ton of time on the site last night and this morning trying to find just the right things to buy! I had to take a quick break from shopping to take a picture on the photobooth on my computer, because this was what my shopping trip looked like this morning:
Sorry the picture is dark, but how cute are they?! These are my youngest two babies (we have two cats and two dogs) and they follow us e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. we go, especially the kitten! Chipper especially loves when we are working on a project... he has to sit right where we are!
I started off spending some time looking at teacher clothes, but I realized how weird I am about buying things online that I'm not sure of the fit. I am super picky about my clothes! So I ended up finding some good deals on a few school supplies I hadn't ordered yet:
These Expo markers were a steal! I love the skinny ones for my little friends to use... if they use the regular fat Expos, they write ENORMOUSLY on their whiteboards, and I find the skinny ones encourage their writing to be a bit more normal sized. I ended up ordering 4 packs of these so I will have plenty of them available for my kids to use during small groups or centers!
Teacher Tip: Newbie teachers, I have to warn you... DO NOT be tempted to buy other brands of white board markers! I know the Expos are not the cheapest, but they are worth it! I speak from experience on this one.
These file folders were something I completely forgot about ordering with my school's annual supply money. I knew there was something I was forgetting... there always is. And of course when I got to school on Monday it dawned on me right away that I was almost out of file folders! I use these for my personal files (duh) but also for putting their weekly graded papers into "Thursday Papers" each week. This price was really good, especially because I didn't actually need 600, which is how many I feel like you usually get!
These Mr. Sketch markers were my special splurge!!! I love them for making anchor charts and what is better than a fresh pack of markers? (nothing!)
Even if you aren't looking to buy any school supplies from Target.com, you may want to check out their clearance clothes! There were tons of things marked down to ridiculously cheap prices, but selection in sizes was a bit picked over. You never know though, you may get lucky!
I had lots of fun spending my Target gift card today, and I know these things will really benefit my classroom. Thank you so much for the giftcard ladies!! If you are reading my blog today, be sure to visit their sites today and enter their latest giveaway... a Michael's gift card this time!!!
