Favorite Store and some good posts

May 27, 2012

One of my favorite stores is the Dollar Tree.  If you’ve never been before, you really need to go.  Need new letters for bulletin boards?  Need new bulletin board borders?  Need dice for math stations?  The Dollar Tree has them!  I try to go in there once a week to see what they have and I am usually not disappointed.  Just this week I found a math center kit for a fraction center!  Love me some Dollar Tree!

These are some of the things I found this part week blog hopping:

Welcome to my blog! Here goes nothing:

I love blog hopping!  So many people have so many awesome ideas to share with other people.  My idea for this blog is to compile posts relevant to seventh grade math since that's what I teach in Georgia.  I want to post a list of awesome resources geared toward seventh grade math on a weekly basis.  Maybe something here will help you inspire that "Ah ha!" moment in your students.
