Look what I found for $2.50 (including tax)!!!
It is a 20 pocket organizer and I just LOVE how colorful it is!!
What will I use this for? I am thinking picture cards. I have such a variety of picture cards to help my students practice things like rhyming, syllables, beginning/middle/ending sounds, letters, sight words, etc... I now just need to find a way to label these little pockets....any suggestions? (I was thinking of making labels, laminating them and then stapling them to each pocket.)
Now my next find is not related to school whatsoever.
We have recently gone through home renovations and have refloored our entire first floor with vertical strand bamboo. It is beautiful (actually, you can see it in the background of my little pocket organizer)! Well, I finally found something to clean the floors that will NOT leave streaks behind! And it was WAY cheaper than the $150 I spent on a steam mop (which I did return)!
This is what I bought for $40!
It is called the Bona Hardwood Mop. So if you have hardwood floors, I would highly recommend this little mop!!
Please do not think this is a sales pitch. I am not receiving anything in return from the manufacturer for posting this (although after reading this post, if they would like to offer me something for free, I certainly wouldn't turn them down = ).
Thank you!
How about velcro dots?

Where did you find the cute organizer? And I second the idea of using velcro dots! Or small cute clothespins pinching the top of each pocket?
ReplyDeleteSorry! How could I forget to share where I found these things? I found them both at Lowe's.
ReplyDeleteAnd velcro dots sound perfect! (Now why couldn't I think of that!)
I thought of velcro dots, too. When hot glue fails I use velcro. You could do some initial sound cards and leave off the vowels a,e,i,o,u and the letter x. Then the next time you could focus on those letters using both the long and short sound for the vowels. Just an idea.

I think I would look at using the badge holders which could be pinned onto the front pockets although now that I say it they may be too heavy. Might be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you might have a little bit of room at the top of the pockets before the row above it starts, what about making a tall card to stick in the back of each pocket?

You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for all of your input!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you buy the mop? Does it take off the finish? I also bought a steam mop and took it back. Not good for the floor.

Oh that is a find!! I want a pocket chart for $2.50!!! I better go check my local Lowes!!
ReplyDeleteLori-I bought the mop at Lowe's also. It does not take off the finish. It has a trigger to spray a cleaner onto the floor and then a very wide, microfiber head. I love it! Can't say I've ever been this excited about a cleaning tool before! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI went to Lowe's but was unsure of what sectin the chart came from. May you tell me what section it is from? Thank you bunches!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Crowder-
ReplyDeleteIt was in the aisle with all of the closet organization items. There were shelving supplies, baskets, etc... Hope this helps!! It was the last one on the shelf at the Lowe's I went to. They did have off-white ones though. Good luck!!
