Thank you to all who entered!

Ringing in a New Year is always a cause for celebration.
It's a time of new beginnings and fresh starts.
And, it's a time for reflection.

As we head back to school after winter break, most of us are armed with fresh new ideas, procedures, and goals. It's out with the old and in with the new!

As Oprah Winfrey once said, "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."

To help you plan for the second half of the school year, my whole store will be on sale December 30-January 1.

Now is a great time to grab some new activities, to help you and your students reach your goals. I'll highlight a few of my favorite resources below, or, you can click here to see all my resources!

Children love to voice their opinions!
 Here is a great way to combine that with writing!


Another great way to easily incorporate many different types of writing into your daily routine.

Here's a wonderful way to incorporate science and language arts!


If you're not doing interactive notebooks with your students,

Building words is an engaging way for students to practice decoding and blending individual sounds in words.

#MoveFor Learning Sweepstakes

As a teacher who is always on the move, comfortable and stylish footwear is essential. Nothing ruins a day faster than aching feet! I've always been a huge fan of Easy Spirit footwear, and I was thrilled when they contacted me to help them spread the word about their #MoveFor Learning campaign. It's very easy to stay motivated and excited about teaching when you're comfortable!

Easy Spirit's #MoveFor campaign celebrates the things that drive, compel, and inspire us on a daily basis. During the month of August, their #MoveFor campaign focuses on learning.

What do I #MoveFor? 

I am driven every single day to help my students be the best they can be. There's nothing I wouldn't do to keep my students enthusiastic about learning while they strive to reach their highest potential. One of the greatest feelings a teacher can have is when a former student comes back to visit, to let you know what an enormous impact you had on their life.

This is what I #MoveFor.

What do you #Movefor?

In honor of the #MoveFor Learning campaign, I am partnering with Easy Spirit and hosting a giveaway on my Instagram. One lucky teacher will win their 'Easy Kit', which includes a ton of favorite back-to-school essentials.

Let's take a closer look at what's included in this kit...

Classroom Carpet Giveaway

Five years ago, I was contacted by Jim Banks, owner and founder of KidCarpet.com. He offered me the chance of a lifetime! He said I could look through his large selection of beautiful, colorful, and up to code carpets, and choose one for my classroom. In return, I promised to write an honest review of how I felt about the carpet and he allowed me to give away a FREE carpet to one lucky teacher. You can read all about it here.

 I decided on the Let's Book It Story Rug because it was perfect for my classroom library.


My school administrators loved my new library carpet so much, that they purchased classroom carpets for many of the teachers in my school. Now my classroom had two beautiful carpets! This is the large carpet I chose:


The carpets have held up nicely all these years and I am excited to, once again, offer one lucky teacher, an opportunity to win a FREE classroom carpet for your very own classroom!


KidCarpet.com has such a BIG selection of classroom carpets in different sizes, colors, themes, and shapes. There is something for every classroom. The only issue you'll have is figuring out which carpet to get! They are very well made, up to code, and make any classroom cute and cozy.

The lucky winner can choose any preschool rug that is 7'6"x12' or smaller or classroom rug. This prize is valued at $279! This giveaway is only open to educators in the continental United States, since it is too costly to ship outside of the USA. Please do not enter if you do not live in the United States of America. 
Please be sure to read the terms on the rafflecopter. All entries will be closely monitored and anyone who does not enter with integrity will be disqualified.

Please tell your colleagues about this contest and share it on as many social media sights as you can. I really want to help spread the word about KidCarpet.com. They are the only "place where you can buy directly from the factory". Because of this, they offer HUGE savings on classroom rugs and carpets. They even offer 3-5 day shipping on select carpets.

You can check out the rugs available here:

Good luck to everyone!
