Back to School Giveaway

 
The day is finally here. For many of us, school has already started (where did summer go?) and for others of us (you lucky teachers, you!) school will begin in a few short days. What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway?!


Here is what you have a chance to win:
- Back to School Basket (basket not included)
- $10 Target Gift Card
- $25 TPT Gift Certificate
- Winner's Choice of 3 Products from Mrs. D's TPT Store

So you're probably wondering what is all included in this basket... it doesn't seem to be that big, right?

 Now that's more like a Back to School giveaway!
*not pictured are the 3 winner's choice items from Mrs. D's TPT Store.

I chose each item specially. These are all things that I don't think I could teach without. 

Top Left: BIC lead pencils are my absolute favorite and I'm a sucker for Post-It Notes. Erasers are always a must: a pack of pencil top erasers for my students as they're working at their desks and Magic Rub erasers for center time. 

Top Right: I really like these dry erase markers better than the Expo markers for center time and for students to use at their desks during lessons because they create thinner lines. Even though the Expo markers create thicker lines and are bolder to read, I find that the thinner dry erase markers make it easier for students to separate their letters and numbers while writing.

Bottom: The blue are the ones I call my "teacher scissors" are amazing! I have a few pair at school and a couple at home around the house. They work super well and I haven't come across a pair of big scissors that work better. The "student scissors" are great, too. Very reliable and easy for the students to use. I've had the same class set for 4 years and haven't had any break or need replacing. 

Probably 3 of my most favorite items I use in the classroom are Sharpie markers with Martha Stewart's Home Office labels. I am borderline OCD organized and love having everything labeled in the classroom. These labels are great because they're sticky enough to stick to almost anything, but they don't leave annoying sticker marks when you take them off. (Plus I have this love-hate relationship with Martha Stewart... I hate that I love everything of hers so much!) Last, but certainly not least... Pentel black fine tip pens. My absolutely favorite pen!

A $25 TeachersPayTeachers gift certificate and a $10 Target gift card. The gift card from Target even doubles as a super cute owl bookmark when you're finished using it!

The last 3 items are Winner's Choice from my TPT store.

The giveaway will end Thursday night at midnight! Good Luck! :)
