0 HUGE ROCKIN' RESOURCE GIVEAWAY

I can't believe it . . . I made it to the big TWO-OH-OH.  I am more excited than a kiddo on Christmas morning!  To help celebrate, I am hosting a ROCKIN' RESOURCE giveaway to go with my very first Linky Party.

I will be giving away a collection of all of my favorite classroom resources that were highlighted in my Rockin' Resource Linky Party post.  We're talking a font collection from Fonts for Teachers, 2 CDs of choice from Ron Brown's Intelli-Tunes, sight word readers from Teddy Bear Press, and a few other top secret classroom treats . . . it's the works I tell ya.  

 

There are lots of ways to enter and most are pretty easy.  I know the last thing you all want to do is to have to click on 500 different pages!  Just use the totally awesome Rafflecopter ditty down below to enter.  I hope I figured it out . . . that was a lot of new technology all at once!  I will be selecting a winner next Sunday (June 3rd).

Also, don't forget about my very first Linky Party.  I would jump at the chance to have more of you join in the fun!  Just click on the Rockin' Resources Linky Button above to learn more (you also earn lots of contest/giveaway entries for joining the par-tay)!!

On a final note tonight, I wanted to share another one of my favorite Rockin' Resources with you.  

DOUBLE DICE + MINI CARDS
I love to play math games in my classroom.  For me, it's all about disguising learning as "play" whenever I can.  Regular dice and playing cards are staples in many of the activities I run, but they can get old for some of the kids after a bit. So . . . I spice things up by throwing double dice, 10-sided double dice, or mini cards into the mix.  Click on the photos to find these products online - your students will love them.  

    

Have a great night my special bloggy friends.  Thank you so much for all of your support these past few months.  As a newbie, it was scary jumping into all of this a few months ago.  However, you all have always been right there to lend a helping hand!  You quickly turned the "scary" into excitement!  Thanks again friends.  I am one lucky lady.

0 STUDENT SCAVENGER HUNT + GETTIN' LUCKY

I finally pulled myself out of my "creative slump" and came up with an end of the year FREEBIE to share.  I think it was the excitement of me getting to go back next week that sparked it.  I cannot wait to hang with my little darlin' babes and this seemed like a perfect activity for us to share! Here's what I've got for ya . . .

Thank you Goodness & Fun and Delightful Digitals for your design support!

This Student Scavenger Hunt will take the place of center rotations for me next week (I am thinking Thursday will be perfect as it's our second to the last day). The idea behind this activity was to create something fun that will keep my kids up and moving, while still interacting with their "classroom family."  I made up 12 very easy prep task cards for you to hide in your classroom or around campus (i.e. pick up five pieces of trash, add a picture to the chalk mural on our sidewalk, find a classmate who makes you laugh, etc.).  However, I realize that these tasks may not be for everyone.  So . . . I made up a blank set of task cards for you to customize!  Pop on over to my TPT Store to learn more about this hunt and/or to snag your FREE copy.   

There are so many wonderful contests going on right now.  I cannot believe the goods that are being given away.  I wanted to go back and post a bunch of them, but now I am having trouble re-locating my contest "stalks" from earlier today.  But, here are three that I found again.  Just click on the buttons to enter these great contests.

Katie King hit the big ONE-OH-OH-OH!  Wowza :)

This is a delightful "pay it forward" giveaway concept!

And, last but not least, please don't forget that I am hosting my mega Rockin' Resources contest.  I have the Fonts for Teachers program in my hand, Intelli-Tunes is ready for your CD order of choice, those Teddy Bear Press sight word books are on their way via UPS truck, and I have been collecting all sorts of other fun goodies to stuff in the winner's shipment.  Click on the button below to learn more about this Rockin' Resource Giveaway as well as my very first linky party!!  You still have 2 days to enter :)

Alright my friends, I am off to finish up report cards.  I have been putting it off all day and the principal is asking for them sooner rather than later.  Yikes . . . better get to gettin'.  See you tomorrow.

0 AWESOME AWARDS + FINAL COUNTDOWN + SUMMER

Word gang!  I've got a lot on the plate to offer up today.  Gonna throw a personal piece your way, another end of the year freebie, a FINAL reminder, and a slice of summer.  Ya ready?

I had a wonderful appointment with a new dietitian to try and get my digestion system under control.  She was and will be a wealth of knowledge and I am glad to have her working on my "issues" . . . HOWEVER . . . I just kissed dairy and gluten goodbye!  I have been here before, but it's not making letting these fabulous foods go any easier.  With this said, I am going to pay a quick little tribute to the foods that will either be consumed by my iron-gut hubby or rot waiting for me in the fridge.  I HEART you Laughing Cow triangles, leftover pepperoni pizza slice (there would have been a fight over this . . . the nutritionist may have just saved our marriage), soft and squishy french bread rolls, and ice cold PBR.  I will make it back to you someday!  

Okay . . . enough nonsense, now on to my end of the year FREEBIE.  We have 4.5 more days left at good old Evergreen.  I will be returning Tuesday after nearly 12 weeks off to finish those last 3.5!!  I am so excited and I've been working on all sorts of fun stuff to do with the kiddies.  My main goal next week is to keep that classroom family spirit flowing and to make sure they all "feel the love."  So . . . I made up a fun activity called Awesome Awards.  

I'll break out the glitter when we do these at school . . . just to make 'em extra fancy.

My kids are going to draw names one afternoon and create personalized awards for their classmates.  We will brainstorm award ideas (i.e. helping during groups, the best at sharing, great attitude) and I'll let 'em get down to business.  When we finish, I am going to have the children present the awards to each other.  I think this is going to be a great feel good activity.  Stay tuned for pictures :)

Last but not least, I am hookin' up with Jeannie over at Kindergarten Lifestyle and her "You Know It's Summer When..." Linky.  The whole concept just sucked me right in and I wrote the first thing that came to mind!  After checking out the other party goers, it seems as if I am not the only one who feels this way :) 

Check in tomorrow my friends as I will be announcing the big winner.  I am off to prep for next week . . . look out Evergreen . . . Mrs. D's coming back!  See you soon my friends!
