School Supplies

Several bloggers have noted that school supply sales are in full swing. While this may depress some, for me it means I can get my shop on for cheap. As I mentioned last year, July is the time for school supply shopping. Come August, you'll be paying full price thinking that it's a sale price...

Target is one again offering 10-pack of 70-page notebooks for 1$. Also, 8-ct/mechanical pencils for 1$. 6 pack-glue sticks for 1$. 24ct/pencils or pens, 2 for 1$

Last week Staples had 8 ct. pencils/1 cent (!) and 3-ring folders also for 1 cent (perfect for photo copied "how-to" books for student work). They also had a 12 pack of multicolored felt tip markers (the good ones) for free with rebate. They'll be great for grading, since the red pen has been eliminated. And free is always in my price range.

Although no one wants to think about school as of yet - keep an eye on the flyers. You never know when you'll hit upon a great bargin that will save you a headache in January.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head). CSN.com is letting me hand out a little gift card to one lucky reader! And by little, I mean, a substantial amount. $50 smackers. 50 semoleons. 50 clams, baby. Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
