Hello Blogging World!

Well hello there blogging world!

So, what do you think everyone? Courtney over at Blogs Fit for a Queen is AMAZING! I had no idea what I wanted my blog to look like, but Courtney figured it out! Seriously, if you don’t have a blog and you want one, contact Courtney!!

Now that I have this wonderful blog, I have to use it! I promise that I will do my best to stay updated but I’m really a Facebook junkie so if you’re not following me over there…you really should! I love doing flash freebies! What are you waiting for? Click here!

If you’re already following me over on Facebook then you know I have a giveaway going on! The main reason for this giveaway is to help get my Kindle Fire DonorsChoose project funded before the school year ends! All you have to do is donate 1 DOLLAR!! There will be 3 winners- $10 to spend in my store, $5 to spend in my store, and a product of your choice! Just enter using the Rafflecopter below.

I know we all have our classrooms and families that we spend money on, but my students are going to leave Kindergarten not knowing what “technology” really is! We have chalkboards and computers that Bill Gates would be embarrassed to touch (and my county’s evaluation system works off the Gates Grant…hmmm…)

So I’m begging you, please please help out my students! To add a little something extra to the mix, I will email a little freebie to everyone who donates if my project gets funded by the end of this giveaway! (Leave a comment here with your email, click on my cute little email button on the right side of this blog and send me your email, or message me your email on Facebook!)

Thank you!

Hanukkah presents from last week for my girl's pre Hanukkah presents from last week for my girl's preschool teachers!! Really loving how my tags turned out! 🤩

Giving teachers presents as a teacher mom was such a new and interesting experience. I really wanted it to be perfect and for them to love it all - but I know it's truly the thought that counts and they'd appreciate that.

She ran into school swinging the gift bags so who knows what it all looked like once they opened it anyways 😅
It's almost December which means... a NEW READING It's almost December which means... a NEW READING LOG!!!

My students and parents seriously loved these! It holds the students accountable for reading, but in a fun way!
