Amazon has become one of the cheapest places to find teachers supplies and *bonus* avoid that one parent.
Prime Membership
“Amazon Prime Day” began on July 15, 2015, for Amazon’s 20th birthday and included deals for prime members similar to Black Friday deals. Prime Day has become an annual summer holiday sale for “Prime” members. Prime Membership includes free services like borrowing Kindle books, Prime Shipping, Prime Video, and Prime Music. Not to worry, you can follow this link to get your free trial Prime account for the (now TWO days) sale July 15 & 16, 2019. If you want to try out the whole experience, but not pay for a whole year just yet, check out this monthly subscription option. There are even options for student-teachers to join at a reduced cost. You can also *gift* Prime to others in 3 or 12-month increments.
Once you are a Prime member start checking out the deals as they are already starting!
Deals of Note
I have scouted out some noteworthy items to check out for 2019 Prime Day(s):
The Best Listening Center/Classroom Tool:
Echo Dot (Kids) and read related posts: Should Alexa be in Schools & Should Educators Care about their Alexa Ranking?
This Echo Dot comes with exclusive content for children with 1 year of FreeTime Unlimited. After 1 year, your subscription will automatically renew every month starting at just $2.99/month plus applicable tax. You can cancel at any time. This dot comes with a 2-year worry-free guarantee – If it breaks, return it and Amazon replaces it for free.
FreeTime Unlimited gives you access to over 1,000 Audible books, thousands of songs, plus favorite games and skills. This smart speaker allows kids to ask Alexa questions, set timers, and alarms, or check the weather.
You can set daily time limits and review activity. Plus, automatically filter explicit songs from select music services.
Set up your Stations:
You always need a cute planbook, a reference on setting up station rotation, and the organizational tools and read related posts:
Showing Blended Learning in a Lesson Plan, Flip Back to School, Challenge Chunking, the Blended Learning category.
The planbook is where the best stations start! Consult the trifold for new ideas and troubleshooting for when you run into things to change. Use the silent glow timer to guide students into easily managed transitions with present timers up to 30 minutes.

I love the rainbow skin on the echo dot, super cute! We are a Google family though, so am hoping they update their range soon! Some fabulous ideas! Sim x
