Back to School with Oriental Trading

I can't believe I am already setting up my classroom and waiting for rosters to be settled! Summer went a little fast but now the brain needs to start thinking about the school year! There is so much prep for teachers to do before the first day of school! I am so thankful that Oriental Trading has many great items that I can get and some of the best prices around! They have items for your reading nook, crafts supplies, organization, and so much more!

A few of the items I picked up for my classroom include some motivational tools such as the bracelets above and the finger hand cheers! Then I also picked up some posters for my classroom and organization storage items.

The brain break cards will be used often as a warm up in the morning or between tasks throughout the day.

These foam finger hands are going to help keep kids thinking positive. I am currently working on my thesis and it is all regarding positive thinking and words so I will for sure be utilizing these to help my students stay positive.

There are many borders and posters to choose from and these are a couple I picked out! SUCH GREAT CHOICES for a AWESOME price!

I also picked up some of these dry erase clings for the tables. I am so excited to use them! I know I will use them daily with my 95% curriculum.

I am getting close to being ready for students in a couple weeks but now I must soak in some more sunshine before it's too late!

The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).
