Dollar Stores are Great for Teachers

I have heard other teachers talk about the Daiso Dollar Store that is in the Dallas area, so I finally was able to shop at one recently.  Gizmo and I decided we would take the new truck for a "test drive" and ended up at a DOLLAR STORE!  Those that know us, will not be surprised!

There are several in that area.  Most items are $1.50 and they have other items that are more. 

It was really cool and they had lots of neat stuff.  I think they probably have more during the year, I was there during the holiday break. 

It was fun to shop, even though I didn't buy a lot this time.  I look forward to stopping by there again when I am in town. 

I did find these cute strawberry scissors.  They are magnet.  I plan to hang them on my refrigerator so I will have them handy when I need to get a tag off something etc. 

The little clear kit is going in my classroom for bandages.  I don't like using the clear bag that it tacked to the wall.  Now we can use this cute little kit.  I will probably use my Cricut to put something on it to make it cute.

I also purchased a tool box for my truck.  I thought it would help keep things organized and all in one place.  

If you get a chance, stop in the Daiso.  They have lots of neat things.  Some of the things you didn't know that you need them until you see them!

Sharing Good Google News

Each school year we have to pick a technology goal.  This year I decided to make my goal the Google Certification. 

Well, I have worried about it ever since I picked the goal.  Taking a test makes me nervous.  I have lost many nights of sleep thinking, "Did I study enough?", "What questions are going to be on the test?", "Do I know enough?", "How are they grading it?",  and again, "Did I study enough?". 

I studied a lot during the summer (anticipating I would take the test one day) while my daddy/best friend was in the hospital, rehab, back at the hospital, etc.  I tried to always have my laptop with me and "we" would study when there was time. 

He was always so interested in my getting more education, taking more classes, learning as much as my brain could absorb, and getting certificates as well as awards.  (Sadly, my best friend, passed away in July and I miss him more than I thought was even possible!) 

Well, I hope he is PROUD! 

THIS WAS FOR YOU DADDY..........I PASSED MY TEST!! 

I am now a Google Certified Educator, Level 1!!
