bleeglaser Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I got the kids what is packaged as lapboards. They are dry erase boards that have the lines for learning to write letters! I'm thrilled! We've only been homeschooling since Monday and I was already tired of rewriting those lines and dashes 1000 times on our blank dry erase board. Not to mention we only have one which slowed our lesson time down. I also picked up some bingo games, stickers, and readers. I was temped by a lot more. I thought I'd share my find like I did in the store- SQUEAL! :hurray: Anyone else have a great find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtrmlnlabs Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I know! I love these!! Our Target has them with lines on both sides though. I got them like yours last year, room to draw on the back!! We use them all the time, greatest thing ever!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I got suckered in to the little plastic "sandwich box" with Babar on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 $1??? I just paid $5 on Amazon for that same one a few weeks ago. It's great, but I would have loved to pay $1 for it. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Target $1 holiday themed socks are one of the things my kids look forward too every year now. That whole aisle is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happykate Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 My favorite Target $1 find was a package of cards with pictures of world landmarks on them. I stuck them in our memory box and we learn them a few at a time. My kids love them and get so excited when I pull them out. I mean, I thought they'd like them, but I never can guess what's going to be a huge hit! Each card has a picture with a little blurb of info on the back. We've all learned a lot! And it cracks us all up to hear my 3 year old say, "Remember the Alamo!" :001_smile: I actually got ours last year, but I saw some more a couple of weeks ago. There are also packages with the Presidents and something else that escapes me right now. Love, love the Target $1 section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele B Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I buy those pretty little 1$ metal buckets to keep colored pencils and markers in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 My favorite find so far this year are the animal motions and sounds cards. Too young for my DD, but perfect for my 2-3 yr old students, and with a nice depth of vocabulary. At $1 a pack, they're inexpensive enough that I can recommend them wholeheartedly. I also love the little pocket charts. I have 6 of them on the front of the bookshelves in our school room/library-easy to remove to access the books, while also having extra display space.

raceNzanesmom Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I bought the same board last year. It's great! We use it at ds's desk. Perfect size and I love that it's lined and blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivka Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I got several different sets of animal flash cards. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with them, but we use them for sorting and categorization exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5LittleMonkeys Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I got the landmark cards, state cards, space cards, and animals of the world cards. I'm using them on our breakfast board for ds5 and for dd8 to use the facts on the back to write little paragraphs about each card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Researcher Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I love to look in that isle. This week I found a dry-erase class scheduler that I can use for DD. She is learning to tell time and this has a blank clock face on each line so I can draw the hands on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacie in UT Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I've not been to the $1 area for over a year now. Last find was a little tiger to send our son who was off to Argentina. We named the tiger Hobbs and sent him to keep him company during all his moving around for two years. I think I'll be visiting Target tomorrow . . . Thanks!!!

LucyStoner Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) They also had wastebaskets, school room decorations (my son wanted one of those weather clocks for his new school room), little pails that would be good for organizing supplies, a teacher planner that is easily modified for use at home and for my fact obsessed kid, packs of fact cards about presidents and states etc. All $1 each. We left having spent less than $10. In the regular school supply aisle, Target also had Mead Primary journals and comp books like these: http://www.amazon.com/Mead-Primary-Composition-Ruled-09902/dp/B001F38YWM http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JTL032/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001F38YWM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0YW8BKX322JSH785HTFD in three packs for $2.47! And washable Crayola markers for 1.50 a pack. Edited August 20, 2011 by kijipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Phineas and Ferb pencil bucket, dry erase board, journal, pencils, markers and erasers for DS; same kinds of things in My Little Pony for DD. ALL the A+ workbooks and flashcard sets! I think between last year and this year, we do have them all! I had not thought of using the animal ones for sorting and classifying!! We are learning taxonomy in Biology right now and we need to do the sorting lab. The one in the book said to use cotton balls and other house hold items. I would much rather use animal cards! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Target $1 aisle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyR Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Wow! We need a new one of those. I've had our one dry erase board and its got permanent marker stains on it. I hope they will have these at our Target, and next week when I can drive to the city to go get a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie75 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 This weekend, I found $1 books. Treasure Island, Call of the Wild, and White Fang. Perfect for my 7 year old reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 last year & this year i purchased the teacher planner book from the dollar bin at target. i love them! one book per child wasn't enough to cover all of last year (short by several pages), so this year i bought 2 for each child. it's much cheaper than printing things off, and i love them!

JZMom Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The pocket charts are fun too. I make cards for different subjects, and have used one for our daily schedule in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maus Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I wish you all hadn't told us about that. I just got back and spent way too much, even at a dollar a piece! :001_rolleyes::blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
