Teachers Be Shoppin' Linky Party

When I saw Kickin it in Kindergarten's linky for today I knew I had to link up. Being a first year kindergarten teacher I've had to invest a lot of my money into my classroom. I love buying things for my classroom and making it the best learning environment I can. I love my summers, don't get me wrong, but after putting so much time into my classroom this summer, I honestly can't wait for school to start. There are lots of goodies I've purchased so I might just post a couple each Monday since this linky party will be going on through August.

1. This was mostly for me because I am all about organization. This is the Teacher Anchor by C. Jayne Teach.  Being a teacher herself, she designed this gem with the teacher in mind. It has everything you need for organizing lessons, student data, personal agenda, etc. all in one swanky location. I cannot wait to use it. It is worth the money! It also comes in red and blue.

2. The TPT Queen, Deanna Jump, has me feeling so eager to get in the classroom and share her products with my kiddos. These two products are going to make learning so much fun. They are interactive, common core aligned, and just darn cute.

 

The first one is her Guiding Kinders Math Workshop bundle for Kindergarten. Guess what though? She now has it for First grade, so you firsties out there are in luck! Deanna collaborated with Dee Dee Willis to create the perfect math curriculum. I'm actually using it in place of the curriculum our school has.

 

 

 

The second product I'm super excited about is Deanna Jump's Chit Chat Morning Messages. It's great morning whole group work that focuses on letter recognition and phonemic awareness. It includes items to make anchor charts that match worksheets for the kiddos. What I plan do to do is give every child a clipboard with the Chit Chat message of the day on it, and gather on the large rug and Chit Chat together. I found clipboards for all of my kiddos at Dollar Tree.

 

 

 

 

3. My theme in my room this year is chevron and puppies. So I've been purchasing paw prints and puppies galore! A few things I've gotten are from Carson-Delossa. They have a very cute puppy theme this year that I know the kinders will love.

 

 

How cute are these pups???? So colorful and darling.

 

I also found these dog dishes at Dollar Tree that I am going to use to at the students' tables to hold crayons.

 

 

Keep on Shoppin' y'all!
