I think I need to change my blog title to Ready to Blog About Giveaways!

Since I apparently will not be teaching this year and will instead be back in my aide's position, I need to find as many thrifty activities as I can (my salary is not comparable to a teacher's!), but I love to find useful things to help in the classroom. Hence, I keep entering these giveaways! This one would be GREAT because I have done a lot of research on my own about the CCSS and have developed my own grade book for 1st grade based on the CCSS. If you are interested in the giveaway, you can read all about it here.

Wow! 2 posts in one day from me!

I know I should probably save all my giveaway blog entries and combine them, but I'm afraid I'll forget and miss some AWESOME giveaway like this! Farley, at Oh' Boy 4th 3rd Grade really went all out on this one! I would love to win this contest, but good luck to everyone else, also!

Another new blog (to me!) and another GREAT giveaway!

I am so thankful for lazy days to spend on my computer stalking reading so many wonderful blogs and getting so many great ideas to use IF I ever get a teaching job! Until then, I'll return to my aide position...  Anyway, I came across another blog FULL of great ideas (wish I were half as talented as you ladies!). Mrs. Miner blogged about "smellies" and is hosting a "smelly giveaway" (Ooh...that didn't sound quite right!) Head over here to read all about it ...BUT HURRY! It ends in about one hour!

Birthday Freebie Offer!

While catching up on my emails, I came across this wonderful offer for a  Birthday Freebie from Peace, Love and Learning. Click here for the details. I'm hoping I'm not too late ~ I was at my husband's family reunion/golf tournament and couldn't check emails or read blogs last week!

Yard Sale Jackpot!

My mom and I had another fun day of one of our favorite activities ~ hitting yard sales! I found a LOT of books for 25 cents each and a couple for 10 cents each! I love to buy books for my future (?) classroom. Right now, I have about 10  of the big Rubbermaid Totes full of books in our camper (we have no plans to go camping anytime soon!) and I have no classroom to put said books in ~ yet I continue to buy more.... I'm CRAZY!!!

I also found some of the glass bead-like things I saw yesterday on Teacher Tipster! I love that website and am amazed with all of the good ideas shared there! Now, just to get busy writing on them (backwards, I might add...!)...
