Freebie Wednesday! - Save Money on Post-It Notes for Class!


Readers,

I love purchasing items for my students to use in the classroom. This includes candy, school supplies, and other motivational giveaways. One giveaway that works very well for college students is Post-It notes! We use them for activities and the college students use them for labeling their book chapters! I wait until these items go on sale and I purchase them with coupons (like the one in the link below).


Enjoy!
