Hey there, friends!! I hope your August has gone well! I've been working hard in my classroom {classroom reveal coming soon} and I just finished my first week of school! WOW! I always forget how little first graders are at the beginning of the year! EXHAUSTING! HAHA
Well, today I will share some Oriental Trading goodies that I just received and the NEW wishlist feature that the site offers!!
I'll start with the goodies because let's be real, that's the funnest part!! I was a bit excited to get this amazing box! One thing that I was surprised with was the SUPER fast shipping! I got a pack of personalized pencils {pictures below} and my whole order was still delivered so fast! LOVE THAT!
The first thing I ordered was the
School Treasure Box. The thing that stood out for me was that it was already pre-filled!! It comes with all of the goodies inside! I added some things to mine because I emptied out my old treasure box into it :)
I love how bright and happy it is! It does require some assembly but I was able to "put it together" very easily! There is also a spot for your name at the top!
Here are some things that are included in the treasure box: notepads, erasers, pencils, stress balls (YEEESSSS!!), bouncy balls, whistles, pencil sharpeners, sticky hands, stickers and so much more!
I love this box sooo much! If I would've bought all of these things separately at a "party" store... it would've cost so much more than 20 bucks!
Now, let's talk about these <3
DICE <3
These
foam dice will be perfect for math this year. Students will be able to use them during small groups and during independent math games! They're a steal for only 4 bucks per dozen! I should've gotten a couple of more packs!! The small ones were from the treasure box but I took them out so we could use them during math ;) These are a teacher's favorite because they don't make as much noise as regular dice! Can I get an "oh yeah!"?
Another favorite are these
no name clothespins! They come with a big, thick magnet on the back so they can be placed on your magnetic whiteboard or metal cabinet! I love how they're already painted and the magnet isn't flimsy! They are also SUPER affordable! You get 24 clothespins for less than 6 bucks! I don't think I will ever have to hang 24 NO NAME papers {hopefully} so I'm giving 6 to each of my teammates! WIN-WIN!
Here they are in action!! I already had to use them yesterday! HAHA They are so handy!
I also got some fun notepads! The
Christmas tree ones were on clearance (so cheap) so I thought they'd be cute as part of my students' gifts in December! The
pixelated notepads are going to be a hit in the treasure box because they look Minecraft inspired!
These
sand timers are going to be perfect for a multitude of things in my classroom! I'm thinking we will use these during math games, small groups, and even independently during math and reading!
I love that they are clearly labeled too!
These
mini erasers are SO cute! There are 500 included in this pack but I clearly thought they would fit in a small bucket but that didn't happen! HAHA I could easily split them between two buckets! I'm set for the year. I'm going to use these as rewards for learning sight words! I may also use them as math manipulatives!
I saved the best for last! <3
PERSONALIZED PENCILS! These are for my daughter! I thought she would love to have personalized pencils for 4th grade. I was impressed with the fast shipping and the quality of the pencils! They were SO easy to sharpen!
I need to add more! I'd love to add the following pillows for an alternative seating option in my classroom library!
They have them in 4 different colors! NEEED! <3
