I need to stop!!!

Whew, just got back from playing Pokeno with new(ish) and old(ish) friends... such fun! Heard from an experienced teacher the struggle of unpacking years of stuff in our new rooms! I seem to have a different problem...
I keep buying new stuff!

But I do love what I found today:

Big Lots, Target, and Zapppos, oh my!

So excited to have an ottoman ($20) like Clutter Free Classroom's! I also found buckets (Target Dollar Spot) for who knows what and cups (3 pk for $1.40 ea.) for crayon storage. My real finds were these babies at Big Lots ($2.50 ea.):

I envision each kiddo at the block center having their own and also having them available during Daily 5 Read to Self! I love them!!
Also grabbed two of these so I can later decide which color to use:

We got our new kinder team shirts today, too!

My favorite things, however, are my rockin' school shoes and new best buddy!

Whew! I think that's enough for one day... but I've got MORE on the way!
