Dollar Spot Deals: July 7

I'm back for week 2 of #DollarSpotDeals Friday linky party! Today I'm going to be sharing with you how to make a fun and cute gift using items from the Target dollar spot. What's fun about this one is that ALL ITEMS are only $1!

Even though we don't have family close by, we have some FABULOUS people in our lives that love to love on our baby girl. This past week, we had two friends offer to babysit for us (#blessed), and I wanted to give them a little something for their generosity and sweetness! So, to the dollar spot I went....

 We're a family on a budget these days, and I was so thrilled to find these adorable and affordable stationary items in the dollar spot!

 notepad (80 sheets) -$1

 blank cards (8) -$1

 wooden pencils with gold writing (6) -$1

 Each pencil had a different fun phrase written at the top - so neat!

 gift bag - $1

*This did not come from the dollar spot, but was still only $1 in the gift bag section.

 Everything fit perfectly in the bag.

Add some white tissue paper and the look is complete!

Whether you need to give someone a quick "thank you" or looking for a sweet gift for a "secret pal" at work/school, the dollar spot is where it's at for cute and low-cost finds for anyone!

Dollar Spot Deals: June 30

There's few things that teachers love more than strolling through the dollar spot in Target while sipping on a lil coffee (or big coffee....no judgement here). The summer seems especially equipped for teachers who are on break and thinking about the upcoming school year. Obviously, I am no different. I want to share with you some fun resources I think will be great for my 4th grade classroom!

 1. United States felt map ($5)

2. 50 Great States info book ($1)

3. Division and Money Fun practice cards ($1 each)

I am especially excited about the United States felt map! My 4th grade Social Studies curriculum is all about U.S. regions and states and capitals. I love that this felt map is colorful, interactive, and very visual. This fact book contains state name, capitals, nickname, flag, and a fun fact about each state. A quick and easy reference for students curious to learn more about the states.

Why I love this felt map: it comes with landmarks attachments! We study the states by regions, so this would be perfect to introduce the landmarks as we go through the regional studies. It will be a great visual reference to keep up in the classroom all year long!

The division and money practice cards are dry erasable and will be perfect for math centers, early finisher activities, or small groups! Dry erase is instant engagement for 4th graders!
