Maybe some classroom transformation items now.

The ones I inherited are all chipped, bent or discolored. I’m excited to hear from my team about what they are getting, maybe I’ll get some ideas from them.]]> 2018-01-16 14:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221724156 overtonheather https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221735403 I would love to transform a section of the library into a comfortable seating area.  A place where relaxation and creativity meet.  I would also like to add a mural to the back wall in between the windows and possibly some more “around the world” decorations.  So many possibilities!  ]]> 2018-01-16 15:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221735403 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221735590 It it were me, I would by books, books, books!]]> 2018-01-16 15:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221735590 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221738450 I'm ordering the rest of the locks I need for my breakout boxes! I'll have 4 complete sets, AND I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'll gladly share them! I'm also ordering some items for my reading area and sight word cards that benefit students with dyslexic tendencies or are struggling with phonics and I may be more excited about them!!]]> 2018-01-16 15:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221738450 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221739136 Books you say Autumn...? That gets my wheels turning....I was just thinking about what I would like to purchase.

I love it! I'm also getting a real mailbox to go with our Carverville letter writing. My husband is going to build me a post for it (he doesn't know that yet). There are a few books I plan to purchase that go with a mentor text bundle Dottie and I bought from TpT. I thought about getting a laptop caddy, but I'm not sure yet. I am an old stick in the mud and really like having a desk to store all my junk in. 😁 I'm looking forward to seeing all the responses! I need some ideas.]]> 2018-01-16 15:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221744965 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221748996 So far I have ordered phones for our I pads. I ordered 9 of them. We will use them for recording and listening. I am still brainstorming what to spend the remaining $400 on. Thank you for the opportunity to dream shop!!

I'm also buying hats, glasses, & classroom transformation items. I'm going to get a couple more lap desks and phones for my ipads. I can't decide if I want furniture or seating items. So many things to think about!!!! ]]> 2018-01-16 15:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221754133 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221766576 Look at all the colors!!  Kendra, I am very proud of you!

The only thing I know for sure I am getting is a webcam because we do so many mystery  hangouts and chats.  Thanks to Kacie for the idea!  I am thinking of upgrading my Flipgrid account so my kids can respond to another student's grid.  I think I will work with Kendra to get the more book sets that we need as well.  Maybe more furniture?]]> 2018-01-16 16:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221766576 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221782765 Today I plan to order seat sacks and phones for I pads. I am also looking into hard hats, magnifying glasses, and a mad scientist wig for classroom transformations. Let the shopping begin. Thanks PTO!]]> 2018-01-16 16:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221782765 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221788736 I am so thankful to our PTO for the amazing opportunities they have provided the kids and staff by funding our dreams. I plan to purchase a flexible tripod stand for the iPads.I would love to get a few plug in retro phones for the iPads we borrow from Mrs.Smith. My kids LOVE Mrs.Baldwin’s red and black chairs,so I am considering getting one of those. Possible black lights,but I am not sure how many I would need.I tried one for open house with our Secret Agent Back to School Breakout,but there wasn’t enough light.I ended up going with invisible ink and a pen with a blacklight  in it to decode. 🔒 Locks and a hasp. I may be changing my mind as I get ideas from you all on Padlet though! I am inspired by all the wonderful people in our building and  can’t wait to read all your shopping lists!]]> 2018-01-16 17:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221788736 lannonjodie https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221796908 Ashley and I are ordering supplies we will need for classroom transformations. She has shared a document to add any supplies we need. We have identified difficult standards and creating our list based around those. So far, our list consists of items for construction, boot camp, restaurant, glow items, & western wear. We will need to order more phones and I'm sure other items to accommodate the needs of a larger sized class.

I’m really not sure of my list yet. Thanks for all the great ideas ladies!]]> 2018-01-16 18:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221823279 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221848727 Since I have added  more themes and sensory activities, I am in desperate need of articulation cards. Before that, I used the ipad or a word list, but I think it is important for many of my students to have a visual.
I also need a smaller table.]]> 2018-01-16 19:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221848727 plumbcaitlin https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221867715 I plan on getting a class mailbox system. Mine broke last year and I've been trying to do without this year and I realized how much I need one! I am also wanting to get some floor lamps to add some soothing lighting for reading time. Some "reading glasses" for the kiddos to use while they read. Some word building games like bananagrams for the kids to spell out their sight words, etc. and I'm not sure what else yet! Maybe I'll get some ideas here! 😊]]> 2018-01-16 19:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221867715 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221876526 My plan for the generous monetary gift from PTO will be to invest in storage/ organization containers.
I’d also like to purchase more sensory items ( kinetic sand, play dough ) as well as more developmentally appropriate educational activities for my students. 
I’m pretty excited to create new centers and use play to encourage social skills and language.

I'm also looking at adding a couple of quality bean bags, but I want the kind that won't break down quickly and that's going to cost! I'm probably getting some balance discs for the students chairs.... Same effect as the balls without the bouncing and storage issues. I'm also considering break out locks and boxes. Telephone handsets would be nice for the iPads, and I really need some magnetic shape sets or Legos for indoor recess. So many choices to make!!]]> 2018-01-16 20:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221877818 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221887593 I would like to get a futon and comfy chairs. I haven't decided on what else. Still researching!]]> 2018-01-16 20:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221887593 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221936799 One thing I definitely want is a cart for my laptop and ladybug. I’m still looking and have stuff saved in a shopping cart. So far I have a replacement chair and some more storage as a possibility. Then phones for the iPads so the students can record. I’m looking for classroom decor too since it’s been a bit since I’ve updated some things. I’m still looking though so maybe some curriculum stuff too. ]]> 2018-01-17 02:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/221936799 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/222074062 I will need to talk to Tammy and Michelle V before deciding what I will buy for sure, but I do have some ideas. I'd like a few more stackable stools for small groups. Maybe some transformation things to buy and GYTO items on TPT. I'd love some educational games or STEM type games for engagement. I would like to get pre-made reading task cards or breakout Edu stuff. I want to try the Write On boot camp, and that would take some supplies. We might look into getting some more web chairs, because the kids love them and they fold up nicely for storage! Loved reading all of the ideas and I'm sure I will change my mind many times over before deciding for sure. ]]> 2018-01-17 14:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/222074062 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/222165146 Well, while sitting in the airport for hours and hours it’s given me sometime to think! After attending the amazing GYTO conference there are a few things I want to get!! I learned about a new App for the iPad (that I will purchase) that you can hopefully connect with our Smart board (I need to talk to Chris Nelson first) but I want to purchase the pencil that goes with the app. I would like to purchase a black light bar or two for some neon transformations. There were some storage containers that Dottie told me about. Other than those things I’m not sure!

I need to look through the ETA Hand to Hand catalog and look for some other ideas. They had some amazing things they gave away in my sessions. ]]> 2018-01-17 18:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/222169005 https://padlet.com/sburr30/vsu9t28bijyj/wish/222496368 Melisa and I will get together when we get back to school and decide what we need the most. We get along great and we are usually in agreement on things. Our PTO is wonderful and I can’t think of anything we need (other than a class set of chromebooks) I’m good with what she wants to order.
