Creative Teaching Press Giveaway!!

Oh, I do love a good GREAT giveaway! :) So our friends over at Creative Teaching Press have this wonderful giveaway for your Fall 2014 classroom. Most of us may still be soaking up the last little bit of summer we can, but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead.

The prize includes $200 to spend on items in their catalog. What would I buy? Hm....

First on my list would replace the gallon size freezer bags I currently use for Book Buddies...

Next, I would add a mini bulletin board set that will keep our jobs in order while perfectly matching my classroom decor. :) 

Who doesn't need a supply of the cutest paper around for newsletters and 'Meet the Teacher' notes?! This chevron printer paper is perfect. (There are also some fabulous matching post cards!)

Finally, I like to keep a data wall with index cards that students keep track of their goals on. Since their goals change as they succeed at them, I need it to be flexible. The best method for this is to laminate library pockets for students to use on the data wall. They can easily refer to their goals and still keep their academic privacy and integrity! A great plus in this method is that I can also check on their current goals whenever I need to. There are many patterns of beautiful pockets...my favorite is this cute Stripes & Stitches version. 

Creative Teaching Press has so many wonderful items to choose from that it truly is difficult to just pick a few things! You can enter their giveaway by clicking the hyperlink in this sentence. Good luck!
