With the holiday season in full swing we always try to balance celebrating with our students and being ever so conscious of specific family traditions and holidays. With the help of the Target Dollar Spot, we have found a fun way to do both! Throw in one of our favorite educational apps, Flipgrid, and you’re set and ready to go!
Each and every time the Dollar Spot is changed out we keep our eyes peeled for these tubes of hashtag blocks. We first encountered these with our own boys and they have become a family favorite for throwing in our bag to take to a baseball game, out to dinner or really anywhere where there may be a wait. Realizing and seeing firsthand how fun these were, we knew they would be a big hit with our students too! This year we found them early and with them only being $1 they are a great alternative to gift bags full or trinkets or sweets.
In addition to tagging them and sending them home, we have fun staying in touch with our students over break through Flipgrid! Simply set up a topic ahead of time and you can encourage your students to show off what they build over break. Or maybe you can challenge them to build something to represent an activity they took part in while on break.

We have grown to love this simple gift and we know there are many who have also picked up these tubes to give away in their own classrooms. Feel free to download these tags to use this year or in the years to come! They are holiday generic, so they can be used in any classroom and hopefully relate to all students without excluding anyone.
Happy Holidays from our classroom to yours!
