The Best Book Deals this Week May 10, 2020

I often get lots of questions from other teachers about building a classroom library without breaking the bank, so each week, I share 3-7 books that are on sale right now.

If you see other great deals, I'd love if you would let me know about them!

BOOK DEALS YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS WEEK!

If you haven't signed up already, you don't want to miss this deal on  Kindle Unlimited! You get access to more than a million books, tons of magazines, and books that include audible narration.

Kindle books have been a God send for me during this quarantine distance teaching time!

One of my favorite books, Alma and How She Got Her Name is on sale in the Kindle version for under $1! The story is about a little girl with a very long name - too long in her opinion, who comes to love it when she hears the story of where her name came from.

This makes a great introduction to a writing prompt about how your students got their name!

I have shared before how I use the 55 Essential Rules by Ron Clark in my classroom, and now you can grab the Kindle Version of the newly updated book for almost half off! The hardcover version of the original book is less than $5!

One of Ron Clark's other books, The Excellent 11 is also on sale right now. These are both amazing professional development books, especially if you are feeling like you are losing your teaching spark right now with everything that is going on.  Ron Clark's enthusiasm is sure to get you feeling the love and passion for teaching again!

What books have you been reading while you are staying at home? Leave a comment below to let me know!  I am always looking for new books to read!

My students are always BIG Dave Pilkey fans!  They love the Dog Man series, and you can grab Dog Man Fetch-22 for almost half off right now.

Teacher Appreciation Week Giveaway May 2020

This Giveaway is Over!  Please visit our Giveaway page to enter our current giveaway.   Sign up HERE to be alerted about all of our future giveaways!

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, some of my blogging buddies and I have gotten together to give away teaching supplies that we LOVE!  Check out all of our favorites and scroll down to enter to win ALL of them!

AND... After you enter this giveaway, check out all of our other current giveaways for additional chances to win!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love. 

Mr. Sketch Markers are my absolute favorite for making anchor charts and working with small groups!  I love the bright colors that rarely fade - and the fact that they smell good doesn't hurt either.  My students also love when I use them to grade their papers!  I buy them on Amazon using Subscribe and Save to save money!

Flair pens are another  one of my favorite markers.  I love to use them for grading and I also let students use them to revise their writing.

I do not know how I would live without my laminators.  Yes, that is plural! I have one at home and one at school and it is so convenient!

Even though I love my laminators, there are times when I need something quick and easy.  I love these dry erase pockets for being able to quickly re-use worksheets.  My students get extra practice, and I save time at the copier.

And speaking of dry erase, these are the absolute best dry erase markers out there!  My school buys a cheaper version, so I always stock up on my own, because they last so much longer! Again, I buy these on Amazon using Subscribe and Save.

Something about color makes everything better!  From boring worksheets to letters home, Astrobrights paper makes everything a little more fun!

Just like I don't like to compromise on my dry erase markers, I also don't like to compromise on the pencils we use in class.  Ticonderoga pencils are by far the best.  They sharpen so much easier than any of the others and they hold a point longer.

What teacher can't do without Teachers pay Teachers!? If you win this giveaway, you will  receive a $50 TpT gift card to spend however you like!

I love keeping all of our important dates from birthdays to assemblies on a large wall calendar that both my students and I can see.

Last but not least, sharpies always come in handy for labeling personal items, my class library books and more!

So, onto the giveaway...

GIVEAWAY DETAILS:  

Prize: 10 Teacher "Must Haves" prize pack including: Mr. Sketch Markers, Flair Markers, Personal Laminator, Dry Erase Pockets, Dry Erase Markers, Astrobrights Paper, Sharpies, Ticonderoga Pencils, a Wall Calendar, and a $50 Teachers pay Teachers gift card.
