Hooray! Hooray! Our 300+ Followers Giveaway!!

Wow.  We're not even sure how to express what our hearts feel, but we'll try!  

First, we have 300 followers, which is AH-MAY-ZING!  We started this journey to be able to collaborate with more teachers.  We have found so many outstanding teachers sharing wonderful ideas and we have followers that constantly encourage us and make us smile...we are so blessed!

Then, we have an outpouring of love for donations to our giveaway.   So much so, that we have divided it into 2 separate giveaways!  We wanted to reach as many of you as we could at the level that best fits you!!  YOU MAY ENTER ALL 3 GIVEAWAYS!  (Wait, did we say 3 giveaways?  Yes we did, but you'll have to get all the way to the bottom to see the last one!  You won't want to miss it!)  1 winner will win from each category!!  That's 3 lucky winners!!  It could be 3 different people or maybe one VERY LUCKY soul could win all 3 (how crazy would THAT be?)

WELCOME TO OUR FIRST BIG GIVEAWAY!

Of course, we had to include our favorite pencil sharpener from Classroom Friendly Supplies!!

Note- The background papers were made by the Marvelous Megan at I Teach What's Your Superpower who designed our blog, the frames on the pink buttons came from the Magnificent Michelle from The 3AM Teacher, and the transparent frames for the giveaway dividers came from Jubilant Julie at My Journey to 5th Grade! (J was hard for alliteration!)  Thanks ladies!  ;O)

 Thank you so much for following our blog!!  We feel the love, and now, we hope you do too!!

    Wow! What a great giveaway! Crossing my fingers! I would like to see more upper elementary literacy and social studies, since that's what I teach, but I know that I may not be in the majority ;)
