Now onto the goodies:

In addition, I was given the following goodies to review and the best part is, you get a chance to win them too!

First off, I’m always in love with a good binder clip for my planner, to keep papers to grade together and separating papers in my data binders.  And the paperclips are extra fun, because they are colored! Furthermore, paperclips are also great for a nonstandard unit of measure. Besides, we go through some paper clips in grade one.


Then there are pencils. And, pencils that actually sharpen to a point and not just on one side. And I found a super cute pencil boy to sharpen my pencils.  And he didn’t break the pencil sharpener because it actually let him know when it was finished. Love IT!!

Then there are the pens. Also, one set was gel and the other a pretty purple pen, and I loved using both and I’m very pen picky!

Also, they sent sticky notes, which I use like they are going out of style. Plus sticky notes make first graders giddy! I give them their own sticky notes for Reader’s Workshop time so they can mark pages, write important facts or questions they have while reading.  Besides, they feel very important having their own teacher tools!

Speaking of teacher tools have you tried TUL products? Whereas, not only do they make some of my favorite pens ever, their highlighters are amazing and chisel tip!  And these come in so many colors. It is great for documenting and organizing information.

And finally they sent scissors! Above all, scissors that are sharp and cut nicely and aren’t covered in sticky from cutting velcro. Yippee. The OfficeMax scissors rock!

So I’d love for you to win these amazing teacher gifts too. Maybe we can go shopping if you win! Love the 50 dollar gift card!
