This year I am going to be using Remind101.com to communicate with my parents through texting. And, best of all, it is FREE!!
This year I am going to use one of these so that my students don't fight over pencils anymore!
Just click on the pic to take a look!
Last year, I used a gumball dispenser for my eraser tips. Kids 'donated' a dime anytime they wanted an eraser and I used the money to buy more erasers. It worked really well.
You can click on the pic here, too!
Here is another secret. Did you know that you can download a program to pull your Kindle Library up on your PC?? Kids can read from there, OR you can project a book up on your Smart Board!!!
It makes better use of your Kindle library....and.....more and more authors are showing up as a Kindle download on Amazon! Just the other day I found Tomie de Paola, Kevin Henkes, and Patricia Pollaco. They are much cheaper than the 'real' books AND they don't tear up!
Here is my 'secret' to getting my shipping so cheap. I paid $70 I think, to be a member of Amazon Prime, but I have saved about 3 times that this year in shipping. Plus, I get everything in 2 days! Amazon has a program where you can try Amazon Prime for free. My husband likes it because he watches the movies! So, you can make yourself and family happy with this sign up!
