WHEW.... The first week of school is in the books! I'll be back to share what we did later, but here are a few of the things I bought at the TpT sale!

I think I have them all now :). The Bus Stops Here Centers from Cara Carroll at the First Grade Parade. I love all of Cara's stuff, so I'm sure these will be no exception.  So that's most of what I bought! What did you get??

I love a good sale! I mean LOVE it! And it doesn't get much better than a TpT sale! My shopping cart is chock full (don't tell my husband!), and I can't wait to get everything printed out and in my classroom for this year. I went ahead and put my shop on sale for 20% off, but you can get an extra 8% off  Sunday and Monday. I hope you enjoy the sale, and I'll show you all what I snagged this weekend!
