Woohoo... 100 follower giveaway!

I am so excited and thankful that my blog experience has been so successful!  I love creating, posting, and sharing with you all.  To celebrate my first 100 followers I am hosting my very first giveaway!  :)

Here's what my giveaway will include:
1.  Anna Brantley at Crazy for First Grade is letting me giveaway an item from her TPT store... winner's choice!  Have you seen her stuff?!  It is awesome!  I have her Fun in the Sun Math & Literacy Stations and her Pirate Math & Literacy Stations.  Love her!





2.  My giveaway will also include the cutest little polka dot file folders!  I really mean little... they're 4x6!  I just had to have them.  They are the perfect size for index cards.


3.  And finally, my giveaway will include a new book that I have discovered titled "I'm Your Bus" by Marilyn Singer.  We just had a book fair at our school and I saw this book.  I bought a copy and read it to my class.  They loved it!  I will definitely include it in my back to school lesson plans in the fall.... and maybe you will too!

You have 5 chances to win....
1. Follow my blog.
2. Show that you follow my blog on your blog's sidebar.
3. Leave a comment telling me how you would use the miniature file folders in your classroom.
4. Follow Anna's blog at Crazy for First Grade.
5. Follow Anna's TPT store.

Be sure to LEAVE A COMMENT FOR EACH ENTRY.  The giveaway will end at midnight on Saturday.  The winner will be announced on Sunday!  Thank you to Anna for helping out with my first-ever giveaway!!

Thanks again for supporting my blog!

    The mini file folders are adorable...25 each that are 4x6...hmmm. I am thinking that's one per student and could be used for keeping contact information at my fingertips and a place to tuck notes from home into. That's not very creative...I will have to see what everyone else come up with!
