I have been known to spend over $50 at a time at the local Dollar Tree so I thought I just HAD to get in on this one! My favorite things to get are the usual stickers and goodies for the grab bucket. My kids get grabs when they return signed documentation to me or when they work extra hard on drill in a session.
In this line of work, you ALWAYS need extra dice…
…and some buggy headbands for retelling the ladybug and caterpillar stories…
It just makes it more FUN!
I like sending home puzzles with my students. A large majority of my kids come from homes with little to no developmental toys…
The dollar store in my town ALWAYS has great flashcards which are good for take home activities…
Extra hearts are great for Bingo cover ups, Valentine board games, or token economy systems…
I ALWAYS need bingo daubers…just make sure NOT to use them on picture day…Lesson Learned!
These chip clips make GREAT card holders for little hands…
My favorite find so far….Ta Da! Little noisy birds to use for positional concepts.
Just remember when you turn on your classroom light first thing in the morning, you are NOT hosting a family of nesting birds in your room. It’s only the little plastic ones in the bottom shelf!
So that sums up my quick trip around my speech room to find just the tip of my Dollar Store Stash. I’m a self proclaimed hoarder, so you can only imagine!
Great ideas, Darla! Thanks for linking up!
