300 Follower Giveaway!!

Yay!!  I have over 300 followers...that is so exciting to me!  I can't believe there are over 300 people out there that follow my classroom happenings and Teachers Pay Teachers creations.  

That just makes my heart so happy!  :)

I'm going to share that happiness with you all too.  I've contacted some of my favorite bloggers to help me out.  They all agreed to donate some goodies to my wonderful followers and I'm giving away a $25 TpT gift card!! 

I want to give away a $25 TpT gift card because I know we are all so busy and have so much going on with school and our home lives that it can be overwhelming!  I know I could spend $25 really quickly on TpT!  I'm sure you could too!  :)

With so many changes in the teaching world and additional duties it never feels like I have enough time in the day to get everything done I need to.  I'm not sure how those of you who have your own kiddos do it!!  My hubby feels neglected and it's just the two of us.  To help you out I'm going to give away this TpT gift card so you can go purchase some goodies that you need and spend some extra time with your family!!  

Here is what you could win from my wonderful bloggy friends:

Lisa at Learning is Something to Treasure is donating *any* item from her TpT store!!

Jen at Hello Mrs. Sykes is also donating *any* item from her TpT store!!

Olivia at Liv to Teach is donating her Math and ELA Vocabulary Cards.  She has them for Kindergarten, First, or Second so you can choose which grade level you need.  

Christina at Sugar and Spice is donating her adorable Halloween Writing Pack.

And I'm giving away a $25 Teachers Pay Teachers Gift Certificate!!

Good luck and make sure you come back and visit tomorrow for Fantabulous Friday Freebies to see my ADORABLE bat freebies and activities my kiddos did this week!!  

I'd *love* to know what you would do if you had some extra time in the day!  Good luck and thank you for being such wonderful followers!!  :)

October Currently and Friend's Giveaway

Happy October!  It's time for another Currently from Oh' Boy Fourth Grade!  Go link up with your own Currently!  :)

I went to a Language Arts Common Core workshop today and I really enjoyed it.  The speaker was great.  I left with a lot of information and one thing I know for sure is that I need more time in the day to create new Common Core assessments ready to use with my kiddos!!  

I love The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything.  I always use it as a Reader's Theater with my kiddos.  They love doing the motions with me as we read the book and then performing for other classes.  

My hubby wears *size 15* shoes so I always bring in a pair for the kiddo who plays the shoes to wear.  They love it!!  It's so funny to see my first graders wearing size 15 shoes!  :)

Make sure you stop by my friend Brandi's blog and enter her giveaway!  I'm donating my October/Halloween Activity Pack and there's lots of other goodies plus a TpT gift card to win!!

 

I'm off to go work on this Common Core stuff.  Going to be a crazy busy (but hopefully full of growth and 'stretching') year!  :)

Summer Mornings and a Friend's Giveaway

Good Morning!  :)


I don't know about you, but I did not miss the sound of my alarm going off this morning.  Instead, I slept in....and it felt wonderful!  


I have a busy day planned, but the great thing is I didn't have to start it at 5:00 am like I did last week.  Yay!  Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my job and I LOVE spending all day with my adorable first graders, but there's just the tiniest part of me that doesn't like getting up so early.  


I can be a morning person when I have to be, but I am definitely by nature a night person.  I can stay up forever during the summer!  


Today, I have to clean my very neglected house.  I spent all last week cleaning, organizing, and rearranging my classroom until late at night some nights.  But, I didn't do any cleaning at home and it is screaming at me this morning.  


See this:

This is what my living room floor looks like in the corner because I was working on a project for my master's course over the weekend.  It's demanding to be picked up this morning.  

Before I go though, I have to share about my bloggy friend Lisa's 200 follower giveaway!  

Lisa at Learning Is Something to Treasure is celebrating her 200 followers by having an awesome giveaway.  Click on her picture and try to go and win!  Good luck!!  :)

Have a great Monday!  I'm finally off to clean....
