I just love the DI!  I try to go every couple of weeks or so, just to see if I can find any treasures.  I went again today, and like last time, found a ton of Living Scripture workbooks!  This time, I got 57!  Can you believe that?!  I think I’ve got to have nearly all of the New Testament and Hero Classics now!  These things are so full of learning resources.  What a find!  I’m also using these to create Sunday Folders for the kids.  I also got for $.50 each, a book about the Gettysburg Address and a book about questions about animals, called I Wonder Why Camels Have Humps.  Yeah!  I love bargains.  I’m definitely going to have to check out the little used book stores in the libraries, like Erin suggested! 

 

Today’s Exciting Find May 5, 2008

Today I went to DI and found a great treasure for our classroom!  There were tons of coloring and activity books from Living Scriptures.  Gavin and I sorted through them all for the ones that didn’t have any coloring in them, and managed to get 20!  We’ve got books from their Animated Hero Classics, Church History, Book of Mormon, New Testament, and Old Testament.  I couldn’t believe it, and for only $.50 each!  These will be a great resource for us to use as I teach various subjects, not just history and religion.  I plan on copying the pages as we use them, so that we can keep using them for a long time.  (And, I checked and the publisher says it’s ok to copy for personal or classroom use.)  The kids were pretty excited about these too.
