You Win Again Dollar Tree!

I just went in for tissue paper, that's all. But you know how sneaky The Dollar Tree is. They manage to get at least $10.00 out of me every time I walk in. So here's what I got for school.

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.

  4. 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?=)

  8. 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".

  10. Hello,

    I 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?

  13. 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.
