Shopping!

I ventured out shopping this week with a couple good friends and made stops at The Dollar Tree, Target, Wal-Mart and Office Max and Party City. I was so excited to find some really cute items for my OCEAN themed classroom. I created a new behavior plan based off of one I found on a great blog (will post later) so I had to come up with cute names for it. last year I had 2 lily pads and a puddle of mud and each student had their own "frog" and it acted very similar to the stop light that many other teachers use. This year I will have all my students start out on "Right on Rainbow Fish" and to go along with that, I found a cute TY Beanie buddy (slightly larger than a beanie baby)in a picture below.
I also found cute borders for my bulletin boards at The Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart.
At Party City, I found cute shovel and pale decorations that I will use to keep track of my centers. I found the cute purple whales that will have each student's name on it and a dot of velcro on the back to put on the shovel and pale that corresponds to the center they choose (I have a limit of 3 students per center) I will need to create new center logos to fit but that's no big deal.
The last good find was from Target and it's a bulletin board backdrop that looks like the ocean. I love it! Not sure what to use it as yet...suggestions are welcome!

*As I have mentioned before, this is my first blog hence the pictures are out of order, not sure how to fix that yet
