I LOVE getting packages in the mail!! But then again, I'm not sure who doesn't?! I was lucky enough to receive a $50 gift card to Oriental Trading and I spent every dollar...and a little more too!
Everything I ordered was in preparation for next year.
I ordered erasers so I could finally make the cute eraser gum ball machine I found on Pinterest.
HERE is the gum ball machine I ordered :)
I also ordered new crayon cases for my little ones. We share crayons for the first half of the year, but in January I give each student their own crayons. This gets them ready for first grade and also makes them more responsible of their materials! They actually LOVE it! I think these cute cases from Oriental Trading will fit much nicer in my desk organizers too!

I got more clips--which we all use ALL the time!!
Then I decided to order more foam dice. I have 2 right now, but I have a bunch of regular dice in my classroom. I use these ALL the time at the beginning of the year (lots of dice games) and my kids all like the foam dice much better! I do too--look at the fun colors!!

and lastly, I ordered more hot glue for all of my fun summer 'crafty' projects!

Hot glue and clips- two of my favorite things. Where did you get the gum ball machine? I've got to get one of those!

Those are definitely things you will use up! I love the foam dice!
ReplyDeleteI am headed off to order those foam dice. I don't really like the sound of dice hitting the tables so those would be perfect.

I love that you share supplies and then transition the kids into having their own! So developmentally appropriate!

I love Oriental Trading Company. I usually make one purchase each year just before school. The idea of transitioning school supplies is such a great idea. That is definitely going on my to remember list for next year.

I prefer the foam dice too - much quieter! {and they don't seem to roll quite as far as regular dice} Love the gumball machine!

Hi Caitlin!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I absolutely loveee it! Oriental Trading is the best. I'm going to order my prizes for our behavior incentive auction from there. I was just hired for my first teaching job for next school year. It's 3rd grade, but I'd love for you to stop by my blog anyways!
