Back to School Must Haves!

I am so thrilled to be a part of this awesome Back to School Must Haves E-Magazine! I am even more thrilled to be able to share it with you!  This super cool emagazine has everything from fashion to professional books to grade specific must haves (PreK- Middle School).  All contributors are incredible teacher bloggers who have terrific recommendations for all sorts of must haves!

Besides all the awesome must haves in the e-magazine I want to share some other goodies that I am starting my year with.  One academic must have is The Continuum of Learning Literacy by Fountas and Pinnel.  It's a bit pricey but something you will use EVERY DAY year after year for when teaching ELA!  Another thing that I can't won't teach without is a laminator.  I've had mine (the one picture below) for about 4-5 years and it still works perfectly.
Now this may sound silly but another must have for my school year is frog clip art!  Yes, I said it..... I MUST HAVE frog clip art, actually I'm a bit obsessed with all clip art but frogs are a must have.  Here is one of Scrappin' Doodles newest sets.  Click on the pick below to go check it out.....The are on sale for only $2.00 plus if you use the code AUG152013 for 15% off of your total!  I bought the 4 new frog seasonal sets plus a few more :)

I have another couple  of super fabulous must haves that I will tell you about but I am not including it in this post becasue I haven't put it in my classroom yet.  I plan on putting one of them up on Friday and taking pictures and then blogging about it  and the other must have over the weekend.  Don't forget to check back because I may or may not be having a BTS giveaway along with the post. :)

I am going to start unpacking and putting my classroom back tomorrow.  I have a few meetings/workshops here and there but I officially go back on August 19th, students start August 26th. When does your year start?

Have a super year!
