Thrift Store Wonderful-ness

So, as I often do, I went to the thrift store to look for any good books to get cheaply for my future classroom. I'm not psyched about paying full price for books that kids are going to read (translation: tear up), so I try to get them cheap whenever I can! I never buy crappy books just because they are cheap, but it's amazing how many good books you can find in thrift stores for pennies!

Today was a super day for thrift-ing, and in one store (Goodwill) I found and purchased the following:

• A Chick Fil A book (for Chels)
• A cute little poetry picture book
• A princess tales book (for Chels)
• Dear Mr. Henshaw (Newbery!)
• 5 Babysitter's Little Sister books
• A nice paperback Mr. Popper's Penguins (for classroom use)
• A novelization of Mulan
• The View from Saturday (Newbery!)
• Call it Courage (Newbery!)
• Johnny Tremain (Newbery!)
• Sounder (Newbery!)
• Harry Potter (paperback for a classroom)
• a little non-fiction fact book

Very good trip!! I spent about $7.00 on all of those...yee haw!

I re-read Dear Mr. Henshaw today...I had read it a lot when I was younger and really liked it, but I couldn't remember to whole story, so I didn't think it counted till I re-read it. Good book!!
