A Cupcake for the Teacher

Where Teaching is Sweet!

Win $100 to Spend in Your Classroom!!!

Like many teachers, I am guilty of spending too much money on my classroom each year.  Typically, every summer I will buy myself one “big ticket” item that I’ve wanted {like new wood cubbies or a fancy library cart}, plus I stock up on the regular supplies needed to make the year run smoothly.  And that doesn’t include the money spent on snacks and goodies throughout the year!

So, when an opportunity rolls around to go on and give away a little shopping spree…
I JUMP at the chance!!
  School Outfitters is an awesome school supply company, and they have offered me $100 to give to one lucky reader, as well as $100 to spend on my classroom!  Woot woot!  Now comes the tough part… what to buy?!  The possibilities are endless, for real!  I could pick up a new small group table for my classroom:
Or perhaps I could replace my whiteboards with a brand new class set, and still have money leftover to spend:

Maybe I could even snag a brand new filing cabinet for my room:
School Outfitters also offers a wide variety of teacher resources and supplies, too!  So, you can see my dilemma… and it can be your dilemma too, if you win! 😉

To enter this giveaway, just use the Rafflecopter below!
Good luck!!!!

  27. This would be amazing. We don't get a personal allowance in my district for anything that's fun. I would LOVE to have a little fun shopping for the new year!

  38. hard to say!! what wouldn't i spend it on!? maybe new whiteboards? put it towards a new rug? a new easel? the options are endless!

  39. Probably some timers. My classroom is the school library and it's hard to keep track of who has been with us for how long! They'd sign in and grab a timer set for 15 minutes. Timer goes off? Put it away and head back to class.

  54. This is awesome!!! I teach at a low socioeconomic school where the kiddos could use a lot of extra help! This would make a difference!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!

  67. OH MY! This could be a toughy! I think maybe some sort of organizational piece…
    or maybe a some large exercise balls to sit on… some phys ed stuff for brain gym type stuff… possibilities are endless!

  82. There are so many thing I would love to purchase for my room! I could use math manipulatives or math games. Need centers since this will be my first year teaching first grade.

  134. I have NO IDEA yet what I would get! I'm starting in a new school this fall, and I really don't know what I'll be supplied with! I'm so anxious to get into my classroom and start setting up!

  135. I would love to win $100 gift card!! I would use it to buy book cases for my library in my new Kindergarten classroom. Being a new teacher there is sooo much that I need to buy and have already spent so much trying to get the necessities. Thanks for sharing!! Cashman5@msn.com

  147. I would buy me a filing cabinet ASAP!! And probably some more organizational items for my office/classroom. Organizing is not a strong point of mine 🙁

    Heart ya, cupcake!

  153. Spending $100 would be so much fun! I think I would get some physical education equipment. We have so little and it is in such poor condition. Some new balls, hoops, scoops, etc. would be great!

  157. I would love the $100 to buy a filing cabinet. I'm a first year teacher and I didn't even know that I wasn't going to be provided with one. Thanks to the blogging world now I know! =)

  172. Winning would be so exciting! I would definitely do whiteboards and then some smaller storage things. I go crazy if things are not organized! Thanks for the great opportunity! ~ Lisa

  175. starting in a new school and grade this year–i'm sure i would find TONS of things i would need/want. I haven't been in my classroom yet, so i'm hoping the bigger stuff (easel/whiteboard, small group tables, rug) is already there. then i would just have to add all the materials to use on a daily basis (individual whiteboards, letter and number games, manipulatives, and cute storage things to go with my color scheme).

    thanks a lot! kristinknny@yahoo.com

  216. I have not shopped with School Outfitters before so I would definitely have to take a look at catalog; however, I would love to have containers to organize my classroom library! Thanks for sponsoring this give away!! 🙂

  219. I am just starting out! This will be my first year teaching and there is oh so much stuff to buy!! I would love an extra $100 to go towards my room! Love your blog!

  226. I was just checking out their bean bag chairs earlier today. I'd probably get a couple of those or some other kind of comfy seating for when my kids read to self.

  227. I am a new teacher. I am getting married September 21st. We just bought a new house and I am still on a substitute's "salary" (not). I could definitely use a boost : )

  230. There are so many things!!! I'd really like to get some comfy seating for the room, but I am always looking for organizational items, too! 🙂

  232. As a first year teacher, I"m sure there are so many things I could use. I know the classroom I'm going into doesn't have whiteboards so that's on the top of my list!

  234. I think I'd buy a table, so I can start getting rid of my student desks and begin converting to tables. I just think it would save SO much space in my classroom!

  240. I would love the Reveal Magazine Display with 6 or 9 horizontal magazines for in my classroom library or maybe even some sort of book display. This would be such a treat! Thank you for the opportunity!

  242. Oh. Em. Gee. I swear sites Iike this are crack for teachers! Lol. I have my eye on the colorful classroom organizer, and some other little odds and ends that I cannot decide on!

  244. My kindergartners need kid friendly keyboard and mice for our computer center. Technology is so important now I want them to get comfortable using it.

  246. I hope I get the opportunity to "struggle" to find something good for my first classroom since there will be so much to choose from! Thanks for this chance!

  248. I am needing a new listening center(head phones set and connecting box). But which knows if I win what I would buy once I see the catalog of items 😉

  252. This is awesome! I definitely could use it for storage containers for all of my classroom books! I also would like one of those bouncy chairs for my fidgety students.

  254. There are so many wonderful wonderful items I could buy with $100! I would LOVE to have more math manipulatives or a kidney table to do reading groups! What an awesome opportunity it would be!

  262. This year I will have my first classroom all to myself so needs lots of things! However, one thing I know I need is more storage and organizational tools to start the year off right!

    Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!

  277. I would use the money on Spanish materials for my classroom. I teach kindergarten dual immersion and materials for that age group in Spanish are shockingly difficult to come across. I would spend it on books, Spanish posters, letter tiles, etc.

  280. I would love to have an easel for my classroom! I am moving to 1st grade this year from 3rd grade. An easel would be a great addition to my classroom!

  298. My sister is moving to K and needs new tubs for her math shelf. School Outfitters has just the ones she needs, so if I won, I'd be a nice big sister and buy her the tubs she needs!

  301. If I were to win $100 to School Outfitters, I would definitely purchase a class set of whiteboards. That way, my kiddos could stop using our "sheets of card stock inside a sheet-protector" boards 🙂

  306. I would love a new cubby-I only have enough for 20 kids, but usually have 21-23 kids. I would also love a new cabinet to house my manipulatives.

  309. There are so many things I could get. I think I would lean towards a table or marker board. I am down a table and our room looks a little sad.

  317. I'm changing the color scheme in my room this year and would love to find new matching tubs for my reading center. Thanks for the offer.

  324. I am starting my 10th year of teaching and my classroom library is dwindling due to overused books that eventually have to be thrown away. So, I would love to have $100 to buy new books for my classroom!

  334. I would really like an easel, maybe one on wheels, hmmm not sure about that. I would like it big enough to hold a big book on the ledge. or maybe tubs for my library. It would be nice to have tubs that were the same size and color coded.

  339. I am a brand new teacher, so I need EVERYTHING!!! Not to mention, I teach at a low income school and many of my students do not the means to purchase supplies or academic supporting material, like books.

  340. With the adoption of a new math program, I would definitely get a class set of whiteboards and probably storage for my math manipulatives. Thanks so much!

  344. Thanks for this giveaway. I would most likely purchase new whiteboards. My set is so ratty and they do not clean up well anymore. Also I would get bins for my classroom library or I would get glue sticks, markers, binders, or pocket charts. Wow, there's a lot I would do. Love your blog, too. It's one of my favorites!!!

  346. After checking out their site, I'm not sure what I would decide on! Maybe a printer cart or computer table… Or maybe even some PE equipment!! Here's hoping!!!

  366. Thanks for the chance to win. Gee I would have to really think this out but I'm just getting back into the classroom so I need everything! I would say Guided reading or math materials would be awesome and you can never have enough storage items. Books are a love of any teacher!

  367. Oh my goodness!!! Where would I start?? I could use some new shelves and a filing cabinet. Possibly also some new storage bins. The possibilities are endless!! 🙂

  371. I am yearning for a cubicle storage shelf for math center storage. I love the ones that have totes to match! I've been teaching for 23 years, and have yet to make this purchase for myself. I tend to buy little things…adding up to as much as big things, but I have a hard time buying big ticket items for myself!! Silly, I know.

  374. I would love some bins to keep things organized. I am moving to 5th grade math and science after 20 years of 7th and 8th grade Language Arts!!!

  378. I think I would get some table top organizers so that I could really have a writing center this year. And a small table-top easel for my guided reading table. And stockpile some dry erase markers since my firsties go through those like CRAZY in Fundations!

  380. endless possibilities.. a rug and maybe make some of those seats out of milk crates… or better yet, tons of paper and glitter to make craftivites; )

  395. I would love a dry erase easel. My current easel is only wood and I love to have my kiddos at the carpet in close proximity for some instruction instead of at their seats. Thanks for this awesome opportunity! 🙂

  402. Got so excited and carried away about the giveaway that I forgot to mention what I wanted, oops 🙂 I would LOVE a new file cabinet. My has got to be from the 1950'. It's rusty, barely opens, and there is something that decayed inside of one of the drawers.

  431. My classroom flooded last weekend (I live in south Alabama), so I lost pretty much everything piece of furniture in my room. Not to mention I just personally paid to have my room repainted this summer:-( I would buy a piece of furniture that would help make my room be back to normal!
