My teacher-heaven is filled with books – specifically, children’s picture books! A few weeks ago, I hit the lottery at the Scholastic Warehouse Sale. It was this gigantic warehouse of book goodness where every book was 50%-85% off the cover price. Sweeto cheeto – it was spectacular J Volunteering for 8.5 hours, I received an $85 voucher. Add that to the $25 off $100 coupon I had, I walked away with $110 in already-discounted books for a mere $1.64!!!! 72 BOOKS (14 of them hardback). 2 cents apiece. SHUT THE FRONT DOOR…I know!

Although the Winter sales have passed, no worries friends. Come this May, Scholastic will be fulfilling our dreams again. 🙂 Goodness, it gives me chills just thinking about it.
Join me for weekly classroom updates and free resources that are just-right for your guided math classroom!

January 10, 2013 at 1:27 amI am so glad I found your cute little blog! The name alone had me interested and then when I saw you were a new teacher, I knew I had to follow! I am a first year 2nd grade teacher over at That's So Second Grade! I LOVE love LOVE children's books and probably buy at least one new book every week. I collected books all throughout college and it has really paid off because I have class full of kiddos who love reading! I can't wait to read more on your blog!

January 10, 2013 at 3:24 amHi Ashley! Your comment has made my evening; thank you. I love your blog design; it's so happy 🙂 I cannot wait to spend more time reading it. And yay for book-buying additions. In the grand scheme of things, I always convince myself their are worse things to buy 🙂

January 17, 2013 at 10:50 pmWhat a cute little blog! This is wonderful! I am also beginning my student teaching experience on Tuesday (although in 4th grade). I will absolutely be reading your blog throughout our experience. This summer I volunteered at Scholastic for 72 hours… YES, $720 worth of books!!!! Needless to say, I am an avid book collector and have a home office at the moment filled with 1,082 children's books for my future classroom(s). Anyway… Nice to find your blog and you will be hearing from me continuously. I do not have a blog (one I keep updated anyway), maybe one day I will start it up again….

January 19, 2013 at 1:01 amThat is the best deal I have ever heard of. I may just be slightly jealous of you and that amazing steal right now. I think I need to get me to a Scholastic Warehouse sale this spring 🙂
