Bits and Pieces Found Around Town

I'm very excited to begin gathering goodies for my new kindergarten classroom.  I took the opportunity to go to a few garage sales over the past few weeks to see if I could find anything that I could use.  I was lucky to find quite a few things....books, magnetic letters, dinosaurs, and much more.  Here's a sneak peak at a few of the items...

The Leap Frog Fridge Phonics, with both uppercase and lowercase letters, was a bargain at about $1.00!  I'm busy thinking of ways to use this great set.  Do you have any ideas that you would like to share?  Do you have a set in your classroom? 

I found a great collection of magnetic letters and numbers...again priced at only about $1.00 for everything you see here.  You can never have enough magnetic letters.  I especially like the different sizes and fonts.  Now I need to find some great tackle boxes to store them in.  Do you organize your magnetic pieces in an interesting way? 

I would love to hear about your second-hand finds.  More to come.
