Auction Baskets

Each year our class puts together a themed basket to bid on for our Auction.  We are looking for suggestions on a theme and then will collect items for it in the following weeks leading up to Auction.  I am open to suggestions or was thinking about doing A Beach Basket theme, please let me know your thoughts.

Locks
We are looking for all different types of locks with keys for our class room.  I would like to have a bin that has different types and sizes of locks with keys as a manipulative exercise during our morning table time. So if you have some old locks that have the keys with them we would gladly take them off your hands.

Box Tops

A great way to help our school is through saving Box Tops! Turn in your box top sheet with your child’s name on it (or in a bag with your child’s name on it). An auction ticket will be given to the family who brings in the most Box Tops!
