Since I had just blogged about my new puchases, I decided to link up with Elementary AMC to share my new treasures.
I found out from a friend that Mardel was having their 20% off sale today, so I decided to go and get some border that I wanted. It was only $3.99, and I wouldn't buy anything else, right? Wrong. I have fallen for this Isabella design that has all the colors I normally use (turquoise, lime green,) but there is red in the group. I have kinda stayed away from red, but I have decided I can't fight the red chevrons any longer, gotta have 'em! I ended up with some really cute border to go with what I already had and the red chevrons complemented it so well. Here is the "haul"...20% off!
Borders, letters (on sale for $5) and pennant banner: (sorry about the glare - cell phone was all I had at the time!)

| My new t-shirt for this year! |
And my FAVORITE find...Learning Chips from Kagan ($5) There are 16 chips and they will be perfect for group work, my teacher station, or writing stations. I can see letting each group draw out two or three chips, discussing and writing about it after we've read a story, then sharing what they wrote. They are really good fiction questions! I can't wait to use them.
In addition to Mardel, there were some Target Dollar finds!! (As always...it's a given that I have to find some great things at Target, because I'm pretty sure I should own most of Target based on how much I spend there.) You can find me staging pictures right on the floor in Target...like I just did. Here's the loot:
 |
| Blank books we used last year for story writing...super great deal!! |
 |
| I didn't buy these...but I WANT to! I think I want to re-do my file cabinet doors in the gray chevron. (I wish I could do all my lockers too!) |
 |
| Book Boxes!! |
 |
| LOVE the books and flash cards! I've been known to cut the pages out of the workbooks and put them in plastic sheet protectors. |
Ready to hang border and decorate!
You have had so many great finds!!! I love your new shirt! My team is using superheroes as our hallway theme this year, that would be so fun to wear on a Friday!

Hi Erin! I'm thinking you need to grab some of those t-shirts. I just looked online and Mardel has them for $5!

Thank you, Lisa!! I am gonna find a way to get those file cabinets looking better!
DeleteSo many good things!! I picked up the same blank books from Target love them. I also love the borders - I have so much border it is becoming a storage problem!! I understand the desire to re-do filing cabinets - I would be very tempted too!! Thanks for linking up : )
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, if you solve the border overload problem, let me know - I'm obsessed. (do we need the border patrol?)
DeleteI love Target too! I do have a solution to border storage -- clip them together with a spring clip then hang them inside a tall cabinet with 3M plastic hooks. That way, you can easily see what you have. :)

Great idea! I'm going to do exactly that.
