Today's Finds

The very first time I went to the Goodwill was in college. I was instantly hooked-the prices, the variety, the cool finds, the great deals-I loved it all!

As you know we have lived all over and I have to say that Washington has the best Goodwills in my opinion. So I am adding this fun topic called "Today's Finds" to my blog. When I get the chance to go to the Goodwill, I will post it here and let you see what I found.

Today after running some errands the boys and I stopped at the Goodwill in Everett by the mall. Naomi was in Preschool which always makes for easier shopping.

Find #1 Price: $0.79

This will go in my collection of Halloween books. I switch out books seasonally and the kids love it. I have never heard of this book before but since it was about multiplication I pulled it off the shelf. This book is hilarious, well we think it is! It covers the times tables for 0-5.

Find #2 Price: $2.99

About 18 months ago, we became big fans of Tom Sawyer. Listening to audio books and stories in the car is a Hays family favorite. The story is read by Wil Wheaton (Stand by Me movie). It is 2 cassette tapes and since we have a CD/Tape player in the van this was a great find. We started listening to it on the way home from the Goodwill.

Find #3 Price: $0.79

I love deals like this! A book plus a CD! This is actually something I bought to pass on to another home schooling mom but we listened to it first. Jacob and Naomi had a lot of fun with it. It reads the book, teaches you hand motions and has another fun song. The illustrations are colorful and lively.

Find #4 Price: $0.99

This is also a book I bought for someone else but I copied it first. It is for Pre-K -Kindergarten. It is full of sequencing activities. The books starts with 3 events and ends with 5 events. Each sequence has a little story that is read and then the child places the cards in order.

I photo copied the whole book onto cardstock, which I will then color, cut out and laminate!

Total Spent: $6.07
