Privacy Shields

Have you seen these Privacy Shields at reallygoodstuff.com? Well I've been looking for some for the past week to get ready for my classroom. I've found them at their website and also found some at Oriental Trading Co. Now I haven't tried them yet but I'm dying to get my hands on a few. I've just got to wait for that first paycheck to order some. I was helping out in another teacher's classroom this year and she happened to have some for her first graders. Let me tell you how calm and peaceful the kids were when they were working with their privacy shields. There was no worry about your neighbor copying you, no distractions, no makeshift folder divider falling over on your work, just little kids getting the job done. I knew right there and then that my next major classroom purchase would be some privacy shields. After all, who doesn't need a little peace and quiet every once in a while.

I was not paid to endorse this product. I simply thought it was a cool idea.

Target Dollar Spot

Have you been to the Target Dollar Spot yet? Well if you haven't, get a moving now! As an educator, I have found some of the best deals ever at the entrance of the Target stores. That's where they have the bins full of items for usually $1.00 to $2.50. I've found whiteboards, desktop pocket charts, decorative caddies for items such as pencils and crayons, Dr. Seuss erasers, puzzles, books, incentives, you name it, I've found it. I'll find similar items in teacher supply stores for five times the price or more so it's really worth a look. What hidden gems have you found at the Target Dollar Spot? Inquiring minds want to know.
