I found a Sight Words Bingo Games

I got these Paddington books free when I told the teacher having the garage sale that I was going to homeschool. She told me to take all the books I wanted for free! So I took all of the preschool activity books shown below as well. :) I try not to go overboard, because I don't want to have SO much stuff in my little house. I found room for these, though.

I also like to look in Bargain Book bins and Clearance racks for anything that I could use for homeschooling. I found these Discovery Kids books in the bargain bin at the grocery store. I got Animal World (Discovery Kids)
, Discovery Kids: Amazing Places
, and Ocean World (Discovery Kids)
. The boys get excited when they look at them!

Target clearance is one of my favorite places to shop. I found these maps on clearance there. They are on a shiny, almost plastic/waxy paper so they are sturdier than normal paper. I just need to find room on my walls to hang them up.
I have a thin paper map of the United States hanging in the boys room and we have circled in big black marker where Grandmas and Grandpas, aunts and uncles, and friends live. BG, my 2 year old, will tell Auntie Ashy that we are far, far away in Texas. :)

My mother-in-law is a Reading Recovery teacher. I am always getting fun ideas, games, worksheets, and lapbooks from her. I got these great ABC picture books from her. They are perfect for working on letters and speech with my 2 year old.

Get up early this Saturday and get going to some garage sales. I hope you find some treasures to bring into your home and enrich your homeschooling experience!! If nothing else, just have some family fun! :)
Blessings,
I love garage saling. It's exciting to walk up to a driveway that has brightly colored stuff on the tables and see what you can find! And yes, those little red clearance stickers are fun to come across too. Drew's all decked out for T-Ball this year with cleats and baseball pants, both garage sale finds for under $2 total. Why would you spend $25 on shoes and $15 on pants for 5-year-old t-ball when they're just gonna get full of dirt and grass stains in about 5 minutes. We don't homeschool but I have noticed lots of neat learning things at garage sales too - flashcards, lacing cards, workbooks, etc. So fun! Oh and Thursdays and Fridays (morning, noon, evenings even) are becoming popular garage sale days here in Fargo so yay - I don't even have to get outta bed early! :)
ReplyDeleteNice! Everything is in the morning down here...it's too hot to be outside in the afternoons. :) I esp like finding jeans for the boys so I won't care if they get holes in the knees!!!
ReplyDeleteLove garage saling! It's been crazy to me to see all these garage sales starting to sell on Thursdays now...I miss the Saturday morning strolls. but I've been scoring some great bargains, too! I start homeschooling kindergarten this fall... ; )
