Laminator Giveaway!


WoooHooo!  Today is a great day (not just because it's Friday)...we're giving away a LAMINATOR!  Yes, we know...you want to win it!  Every Teacher has their favorite "must have item". Today we're sharing ours!  



It’s Melissa from Don’t Let the Teacher Stay Up Late . Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! My “must have” item for the classroom would have to be my amazing pencil sharpener from www.classroomfriendlysupplies.com. I don’t know about you, but the kids in my class cannot keep their pencils sharpened, and I HATE the sound of pencil sharpeners. I went through a few different sharpeners in my first few years, and some of them were great (until they broke – which they all did after about two years), but the noise drove me nuts! I had to train my kids to sharpen a few each day in the morning because I couldn’t have the sound interrupt us later.


Then I stumbled upon this sharpener. Enter Hallelujah chorus! It may be a manual sharpener, but it has so many amazing qualities that I will never go back! This sharpener is not only quiet, it does the best job at getting the perfectly sharpened pencil AND I've had it for three years without any issues of breaking. But just in case it does, you can buy the insides for pretty cheap on the website as well. Plus the sharpener comes it lots of fun colors. I have a green one, but they also now have blue, red, black, and pink!


Hello, this is Jana from Thinking Out Loud.  One of my FAVORITE teacher items is really a combination of two different ones: sticky chart paper and Sharpie chart markers.  No matter the subject I am teaching, I always create anchor charts with my students as a way to cement our learning and as a visual for future reference.  I can't do this without Post-it Self-Stick Easel Pads and Sharpie chart markers.  If I had to choose two things that I couldn't live with out it would be chart paper and markers.  Hop on over to my blog for a chance to win a 2-pack chart paper and 8 count set of markers in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week everyone! It's Jen from An Adventure in Literacy here to share one of my teacher "must haves".


Dry erase pockets have become one of my "how did I ever teach without these?" favorite items in my classroom. They are basically pumped up versions of sheet protectors that are larger, more durable, and erase easier. The possibilities of using these in the classroom are endless. Here are just a few ideas:
  •  math centers 
  •  graphic organizers in guided reading groups
  •  handwriting practice
  •   word work games


You can get these dry erase pockets at Amazon, Lakeshore, Walmart (during back to school time), Target Dollar Spot (occasionally) and even Scholastic (with bonus points!). There are even a few DIY versions on Pinterest.


Hi everyone! It's Bex from Reading and Writing Redhead! I  am here today to tell you what I can't live without as a teacher- poly envelopes! I first saw them about 2 years ago at Target but I have also been buying them from places like Staples and Amazon. Wherever I can get my hands on them. My favorite are the Target ones but they can be scarce in stores and aren't available online.


What do I use them for? Centers! They are perfect for stashing language arts centers and math games and centers. Throw on a label with the contents or if you're in  a big rush, just write right on the label that's already on there and fix it later! 


Now we want to give away one of our absolute favorite time savers...a LAMINATOR!  Yes, you're very own laminator (& a pkg. of pouches).  We promise, it's a time-saver!  BTW, only people from the 48 contiguous states can enter.
