I don't know, so much good stuff!
Be yourself and have a portfolio full of great examples!
I'm already a follower! I love your blog :) Job tips: be open to teach anything!! right now, that seems like the only way to get in! and once you get your foot in the door, then you can start figuring out how to get the job you really want...good luck!!
Whoops, I did both entries in one!
oh it said separate..
okay, number 2 would be ANYTHING!! I have no budget! AHHH.
And number 3,
of course be yourself, but unfortunately it really does seem like it's all about who you know!! AHH
#1. DONE AND DONE :)
#2. I am a classroom shopaholic, can't help it. I would probably look for something organizational or something poetry related, since that is what I'm obsessed with right now.
I am already a follower.
I would love to have just about anything for my classroom.
I would say to have a good portfolio of stuff you have done.
#3. Be yourself and do your research! Look into the programs your potential district might use, so you can know a little about their style of teaching and what kind of standards are addressed at that grade level. :) Good luck!!

My advice: use the interview as a chance to interview the company, so see if it's a good chance for you (it needs to work well for both sides).

I would of course look for things for my classroom. My advice is to always be yourself and ask to meet the people you will be working with. Make sure it is a good match for you and a place that you can be happy at. Good Luck

2. I am going to have a monster theme in my room next year so would love to have http://www.csnstores.com/CD-144200-GDZ3508.html or http://www.csnstores.com/Teachers-Friend-TF-8413-GKT1353.html
3. Job tip- always be confident about what you say and do :)
This is easy - #1 - I already follow your BLOG.
#2 - I would use the gift card towards a Seahawks rug for my classroom.
#3 - Just be yourself and show confidence. You'll be great!
#1 I follow your blog and I'm so happy I do...you have fantastic printables, girl!
1. I'm a follower! :)
2. I would get a lamp to cozy up our reading area.
3. Make a scrapbook-type portfolio. Include pictures (from practicum experiences, student teaching, and volunteering) of you DOING the things that you are going to talk about in interview. To find a job, go to the websites of all the school districts in your area. Be diligent about emailing principals nice resumes/letters of intent and following up with calls. Stay optimistic!!!! When I started my job hunt, I went to a career fair that advertised "150 open teacher positions" and when I got there, not only were there about 1 zillion other candidates, but NOONE was hiring!!! I kept applying and ended up with a fantastic job. Hang in there and you will be sure to find something amazing!
Best of luck!

#2 I would buy something for my classroom for sure...there are so many choices! I'm sure it would be something for writer's workshop or headphones for our listening center.
#3 When this job for an ELL position opened up I KNEW it was the job for me...it was my dream job! I had already been on a bunch of interviews, to no avail. There was no way I was going to let this one go. I walked in thinking "this is my job, the one I always wanted".
So, I would say the most important thing is confidence. To walk into an interview and believe the job will be yours and that you can do the job to the best of your ability. I think this will show in your interview. And I am not a good interviewee!! Best of luck to you! :)
#1 What a great give-away! I follow your blog.

#2 I would buy organizational items for my classroom
#3 As many previous posters have said, have confidence in yourself. Also, take the time to do a little research on the school district you are interviewing in and be ready to ask them some questions. Good luck!
I follow your blog--I can always find something for my classroom & extra $$$$ are always great!
I would love to purchase a long reach stapler to make class books with my students
#3--prepare yourself mentally and take charge of the job hunt! Have self confidence and a great resume and portfilio.
I already follow you!
I would like to purchase some new literacy station and containers to store manipulatives in.
Girl, just be yourself and be honest. Pray about it and leave it in God's hands :)
Good Luck!
I follow your site! Thanks for the great ideas!
If I won I would purchase a rug for my classroom!
Don't be afraid to try something new, have confidence in yourself, and let them know how good you are!
I love your blog! I am now a follower! I would choose:
-Photo cardholder with magnets to put students's photos in
-Classic storage boxes for school supplies
-File hoders for resource books!

Ok...I am now a follower.
Someone suggested this to me right before I did my interview for the job that I got and still have...even through lay-offs.
I made a list of the top ten reasons to hire (your name goes here). I listed a trait, etc. and then gave rationale. It was sort of hard to do. Then I created a folder (i already had a portfolio), but i made enough folders for everyone that would be at the interview. It had another copy of my resume, my top ten list, a sample lesson, a sample newsletter that I wrote, my favorite letter of recommendation...and I can't think of what else off of the top of my head. The interview committee told me they really liked that they each had something to look at and not just having to pass my portfolio around and I let them each keep it when i left, that way they didn't forget about me. I also copied each item on a different color, so i could say if you look at the green page this has my..... on it. Hope this helps. I know a lot of people do digital things, but i like to leave something concrete with the interviewer.
I just started following your blog. Technology and "community" are huge buzz words in my district at the moment. I'd show them what you've created and how you are sharing with a global community of teachers. You are sure to land a job!
1) I am a follower :-)
2) I am a first year teacher. I would put the giftcard toward plastic Guided Reading slotted tubs. Right now I use cardboard boxes to separate reading group materials.
3) Best Advice: Be Yourself.

Have as many people as possible vet your resumes and cover letters, and do lots of preparation for each interview you get--it really pays off!
