Beanie Babies Wanted!


This year I'm going to be using Beanie Babies to teach decoding and comprehension skills. I found the idea on Pinterest here. I only need certain beanies and I have found at least one of each in the 2 big tubs of beanies that I have kept from my own children. I would like to have one beanie for each student to use as we practice the skills which means I'm looking for about 6 of each animal. When I put a call out on Facebook asking for beanies from my local friends, my friend, KimberlyW from Texas suggested that I collect one from each state. Hmmm, good idea! If each beanie came with some information about a state and school I can incorporate reading and geography. I'll make a tag with the information for each animal. Thanks, Kim!

So, here are the beanies that I'm interested in collecting:
Snake
Spider
Monkey
Kangaroo
Raccoon
Fish
Lion
Parrot
Eagle
Frog
Owl
Dog
Bear
Iguana

If you have one that you would like to donate to my class, including the shipping cost, please fill out the Google Form and then I will send you my mailing address.
