Shopaholic!!!!

Like every teacher out there I'm a Target and Dollar Tree Shopaholic....or at least I tell my boyfriend that and he lovingly believes me.  So I just had to share some of my amazing buys:

My classroom theme is Safari so these "Reading rugs" are perfect for my room!  $2.50 each

 

And these bin....a hippo and an elepahnt!  I love that the mouths are netting and you can see into them.     These are not from the dollar section but worth the $9.99.

Of course I needed this cute bag (giraffes are my favorite) to carry all my school stuff because I don't have enough bags!  $1.00

 These were an amazing steal for 16 eggs I only paid $1.99 at a dollar store near my house.  It's one of those odd dollar stores that isn't a real Dollar Store or Dollar Tree.

  

I put these "plain" eggs into a basket and set it on my red rocking chair in the front of my classroom.  My students came in and some noticed it but no one asked about it for about 20 minutes.  Someone finally asked (thank goodness because I was about to burst) and I pretended to not have a clue!  (So much fun!)  I asked who brought it in and of course no one could say yes.  Finally, one of my smarties said "Oh, maybe the Easter Bunny brought it!"  Well, lucky for me we had to leave for our field trip at that very moment!!

But I had one more trick up my sleeve....

Thanks to one of our office assistants, my basket full of eggs was magically changed!  The kids loved that the tricky Easter Bunny left us such beautiful eggs....and these had treats inside!  It was worth all the dollar store hunting!
