I'm joining up with some of my best blogging buddies to bring you a HUGE giveaway!!!
What could possible that huge???
(thanks, Tessa for making the cute button!)
It's a $200 Staples Gift Card from Coupons.com!!!!
YES, you read that correctly!!
To find the deals for Staples on Coupons.com, click HERE
So here is what I'm going to be stocking up on from Staples.
You can NEVER have too many dry erase markers! And since I work in a Title I school, my kids don't always come with everything I want them to, so I like to keep a stock of dry erase markers, especially since we use them for everything!! (Remember those cool dry erase pockets from Mardel that I posted about a little while ago??)
and because it seems like they EAT gluesticks, I'll probably stock up and glue sticks
and of course, INK!!!
I like getting the XL, because the ink lasts SO much longer, even with the amount that I've sent through my printer! (Thank, Bubbly Blonde, for telling me that trick!)
And of course, I'm going to need laminating sheets!
Ok, so now you've seen what I need...what do you need/want?!
(aren't those two words synonymous in this case?!)
So now you can enter to win!! The rafflecopter is the same on all the blogs involved, so you only need to enter on one blog, but make sure to follow all the "entries!" Good luck!!
(I was lucky enough to have been given a $50 Gift Card to Staples to help purchase these items I showed.)

I could buy so many things with that $200 gift card! Definitely ink! But also, I'd like to get each child a zipper pencil pouch for their word study binders to use for word sorts each week - would be much better than the ziplocs I currently use!
Would love to win this gift card for my classroom. I too teach at a Title 1 school where supplies are lagging. This would help me out so much. Thank you for a great give away. I've been following your blog for a while now and I love your ideas. I shared this blog with my sister in law who is going back to teaching after a few years off.
This is an AWESOME giveaway! $200 dollars would go a long way in our classrooms. I would purchase ink, zipper pouches for the great pencil challenge, oh the list goes on and on!

This giveaway is unbelievable!!! I would use the giftcard at Staples to buy classroom supplies for my 2nd graders. I teach in a low income county, so I have to buy my students' supplies myself. Due to 2 serious surgeries, my money has to be S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D out this year!! Thanks for this opportunity!

There are so many things that I need throughout the year so reasonably I should save it for those times but my down fall is decorating my classroom. This year ill be teaching kindergarten so I might splurge and buy the primary composition books. Honestly there are way too many things!
Ink, pencils, Ink, and more pencils!!
I would buy tons and tons of cardstock for all of the things I print at home, plus ink to make them cute! I would buy lots of Sharpies and G2 pens as well!
At first, I was thinking of buying cardstock- because I go through a lot of that- but then I thought- hey, this would be a prize and unexpected and I might as well get something FUN for the kids. So I think I would raid their crafty/art Crayola supplies and get tons and tons for my kids to keep. I work at a Title I school and the poor bunnies just come with NOTHING- so they would be thrilled with such a gift!

Oh, there is so much I could do with a staples gift card! Pencils, markers (dry erase and regular!), glue, folders, paper... It just goes on and on! I've also had my eye on the adapter that hooks my iPad to the projector!
I love Staples! I would buy ink, card stock, binders, flip chart makers, manila envelopes, pens, pencils, ... so many things on my list!
I purchase my students their Take Home Binders, with page protectors, loose leaf paper and a pencil pouch for notes/money they bring in, so I would purchase all of those supplies - the cost always adds up to a lot!

I would purchase storage items for my portable. I am moving out to a portable after 13 years in the building:) I would also purchase dry erase markers since they do seem to be eaten every year!
I would definitely buy some more color ink!! My new school doesn't have a color printer! What's a TpT lover to do?!

What wouldn't I buy?? Stationary, pens, storage!!! :):)

If I won a Staples gift card, I would definitely get some laminating pouches. I just got a laminator this summer. Markers and crayons are high on my list, too. Finally, I saw a really cute Scotch tape dispenser shaped like a dog with a dog bowl. I'd splurge and get that, too.

I would finally be able to get my classroom supplied the way I want it to be! I am going into my 3rd year of teaching and still have such a small amount of supplies because I just can not afford them :(
This would be a blessing!
Oh how awesome it would be to win! I would stock up on supplies and ink! Maybe finally buy a laminator for my house! Definitely buy some storage drawers too. Even if I don't win it has been fun entering and looking at all of the TPT stores and blogs! Thanks!
I would by sheet protectors, markers, pens, storage containers, oh the possibilities!

I would buy ink, colored paper, and all the supplies that my students couldn't afford to buy for themselves.
Thanks for the chance...I would buy ink, students' supplies, writing folders, organizational products, etc.
I would buy pencils, an electric pencil sharpener, whiteboard markers, and duct tape for decorating boxes. I always have a never ending list to buy for my classroom. Thank you!
Hi! I love your blog so much! Thanks for all of your thoughts and inspiration. I am starting a blog (not posted yet) so I can join all of you wonderful bloggers.
What would I do with $200 from Staples? I would get ink, card stock, dry erase markers, glue stick (YES, they EAT them!!!), and binders to organize my CCS materials. Thanks a ton!
I would buy lots of ink and paper! I think I would buy some of those cute green desk supplies that they just came out with. Thanks for putting this together!

I want to get a laminator and laminating pockets!
I would buy tons of laminating paper and construction paper! :) bforbes89@gmail.com

All kinds of matchy organizing stuff!!!
I with you I would buy lots of glue sticks and dry erase markers! Those two items take up so much of the money I spend on my class through the year!
I would definitely buy ink for all the wonderful printing items and a mini laminating machine for the classroom and a small binding machine.
This giftcard would be so beneficial to making my classroom exactly what I want. Thank you for the opportunity!

I would buy ink, paper and organizers!! Thank you for the give away!

Thank you so much for posting the link! I could buy so much for my babies with $200.00!
$200 would go a long way at Staples especially with their penny deals and dollar deals. I would probably get pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners (plural because of how often things get stuck in there that don't belong :) ), glue, colored pencils, crayons, folders, spirals, binders...oh I could go on and on for 200 dollars of deals :)
When I win this gift card, I will buy the essential supplies for my students: notebook paper, pens, erasers, markers, dry erase markers, index cards, binders! We write so much in my class, and I know it's often difficult for my students to come up with money to buy their school supplies that I keep a set in the class for them. WInning this gift card would be AMAZING!!!!
I can't wait to win! I go to Staples like every.single.day!!!

Go Fourth and Inspire
WOWZERS!! I'd LOVE to buy laminating sheets, sharpies, binders, ink, classroom decor, folders, and sooo much more :] but honestly with the amount of money, I need furniture and organizing supplies for my classroom!! And I could absolutely do that with 200$..wow.. I can't imagine! Thank you SO much!!
Laura Love to Teach
$200 would be awesome! I would buy ink and colored paper to print all those games and activities from TPT and colored folders for the students to be organized. This would be a wonderful solution to so many needs and so little money problem!

What a fantastic giveaway! If I won the gift card, I would stock up on ink cartridges and lots and lots of post-its, pens, and composition books!
Wow this would be so great. I would buy a new wireless printer for my classroom and binders for all my kids.
I would be thrilled to win this prize! I would purchase ink, card stock, and colored paper (our school has reduced costs by purchasing extremely flimsy card stock and getting my hands on colored paper is like going through the Underground Railroad). I would also purchase post-its for the kiddos!
What an awesome give away! I would use the money to buy colored card stock and lamination film. I love creating workstations and I use colored card stock to differentiate the stations and of course the laminator to make them sturdy!
I am so excited!!!I could buy all kinds of goodies like glue sticks and card-stock for my classroom :). Thank you so much for posting this and good luck to everyone.
Gosh, I'm not sure where I would start! I've definitely had my eye on the dry erase sleeves for awhile now! And I'd have to get INK and dry erase markers in all the fun colors! Thank you for the giveaway!
Kim
I would buy some fun pencils along with regular ones since we go through so many, erasers, containers to keep station pieces in, composition notebooks because they don't fall apart.
I would love to get some ink for our printer. So many things to always print out.
I'm curious...what is the printer ink trick?
Spotted in First Grade
Wow! Where to begin....I would certainly buy organizers, binders, markers/crayons, and other school supplies to stock my cupboards. Personally I would love the chance to wander the aisles and know that I have money to spend! :)
This is totally awesome! Thank You!

I would buy ink, cardstock, and all sorts of school supplies.
Fabulous idea for a giveaway! thanks!
I love Staples this time of year! It's a great way to get supplies for my classroom. But I must admit I am addicted to Sharpies and Post-it Notes! This giveway will go a long way for my Title-1 class!

Andrea
Reading Toward the Stars
What would I buy? What would I buy? There are SO many options (kinda like when you were in college and had a FULL tank of gas :)). I would start with things needed in my classroom such as containers, school supplies and a 3 ring hole punch! I need stuff to help me stay organized. Thank you for offering such an awesome giveaway!
If I won this amazing giveaway, I would buy so many goodies for my kids. I teach on a military base and work with the most adaptable, diverse, unique kids! Their families work so hard and unfortunately, don't always have the funds to supply their child with the necessary school items. I would use this gift card to make sure every single student has the supplies they need, want, etc. to feel just as prepared and privileged as the next child!
Wow, this is awesome!! I would buy lots of dry erase markers and glue and anything else they don't bring. I also work in a TItle I school so supplies are not always plentiful.
I would purchase a class set of compasses. The ones at my school are old and wobbly and it is very hard to get the students to bring them. They are an expensive out of pocket expense.
I would purchase items for my classroom (markers, paper, folders, organization pieces, etc). I've been out of teaching for a few years, so I need to upgrade some of my things!
This would be amazing!! There are so many things I could get for back to school!
I would get glue sticks, glue sticks and more glue sticks--- colored tape, boards, paper, and maybe an mp3.
I would definitely buy ink! I have so many things that I need to print before school begins. Pens would be on my list as well.
Kelly
I work at a title 1 school with a very high free and reduced lunch rate. I would buy pencils, paper, glue sticks, dry erase markers and many more school supplies for students.
I would buy supplies for my classroom, folders, markers and of course INK!
I would probably buy an Apple TV and some school supplies!
Organizers, organizers, and more organizers!
I would definitely buy paper and ink since it's nearly impossible to get anything printed on color paper at school and I have to do it on my own printers.
I would buy cardstock, laminating sheets, sheet protectors, binders and on and on! What an awesome giveaway!

Because I teach at a Title 1 school and we go through supplies like crazy (I honestly think they eat them) I could by so much for my kiddos..things THEY need to function in the classroom. Fingers crossed:)
SO much that I could by. Pencils, pens, toner for my printer. The list goes on and on!
Lordy, Lordy....computer ink and copy paper!! I run out of these 2 things every year!
I would love to buy a new pencil sharpener, although, I'm sure this could be useful for all sorts of things as I start out in my first classroom!
Wow! Where to even begin! With $200 I would buy lots of computer ink, to print all the wonderful creations I find on TPT, dry erase markers (because we always seem to run out!), laminating pouches, glue sticks, colorful paper, sharpies, twistable crayons! My list could go on and on and on! Thanks for this amazing giveaway! Saying an extra little prayer tonight!!
