@mrslilleteaching Chris and I went on a quick thrift run after school today! I lucked out and found 7 I Survived books! I rarely find this series when I’m thrifting, so I was excited to score a few more for my classroom library! Right now, the plan is to be back in the classroom on 2/2. If that happens, I know I’ll have some very excited friends when they see more of this series on my shelves! ❤️ . I also placed a big scholasticbookclubs order today, and I can’t wait to show you all what I got! I finally cashed in a lot of points, and I’ve got over 200 books headed my way! 😍 Many of these books are for my students to keep, and the others are for the classroom. . I hope everyone’s Monday is off to a great start! Also, swipe if you want to see the books I grabbed for my personal library! . . . #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #bookstagram #kidsbooks #isurvived laurentarshis #classroomlibrary #bookshelf #targetstyle #targetgumballmachine #childrensbooks #isurvivedseries #iteach456 #4thgradeteacher #vateachers #virginiateacher
