As many teachers are starting to think about next year and what they might need for their classrooms, along comes Amazon with their epic Prime Days!
This year, Prime Days begin at midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, July 12, and continue until midnight Pacific time on Tuesday, July 13!
First things first, if you are not an Amazon Prime member, NOW is the time to sign up! SIGN UP FOR AMAZON PRIME HERE.
