My classrom is mostly black, white, and aqua, so I was very happy to see those storage bins in aqua.
When we study magnets I like to give plenty of "exploration" time (which they view as play time) and these little guys will be a fun addition to our magnetic materials.
And finally, they must have just stocked the shelves because there was a huge bin full of these bingo card markers. Fran at Kindergarten Crayons has had so many math freebies that use these markers and I didn't have any. Well now I have purple, black, green, and red!
If you've found any great new stuff for your classroom this summer share it with us all! And then link up with Kristen at Ladybug Teacher Files.
I have been to 2 different dollar trees in the last week and neither have the bingo card markers. You were lucky!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat section were the bingo card markers in? I don't know if I keep looking in the wrong place!

I was just going to ask where to find the bingo card markers! I've been in there and I never know where to look!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent Multiagers!
I'm pretty sure the bingo markers were toward the back on the school supply aisle. There were a ton. Anyone need me to get them some?=)
ReplyDeleteLOVE The Dollar Tree! That's a great idea for a magnet activity :)

I found my Bingo markers in the Stationary aisle at Dollar Tree. They are awesome!!! I am fairly new at blogging, so I hope you can follow my blog. I am excited about this new adventure. There are so many creative teachers out there in "blog land".

Fantastic idea for the magnetic faces! We do magnet exploration centers at the beginning of our unit and the kiddos will love this. Thanks for sharing.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI bought six of the bingo markers. However, when I tested one it seemed rather messy for five year olds. Did anyone else have this issue?
Charlotte-I haven't opened any of them yet. I hope they're decent enough to use.
ReplyDeleteJust like going in to Target! You can't just get ONE thing! Cute site. Thanks for sharing!

I got a ton of bingo dabbers for a dollar at the local bingo hall if anyone is interested. Most bingo halls sell them to their customers and always have them on hand. Hope this helps.
