Favorite Teacher Giveaway

(A small aside - why hello!  I am alive!  I've just had a slightly difficult year with some behavior kids… They have been zapping my blogging energy, so when I get home, I'd rather not think about their issues anymore than I usually do!  Thanks to Susan at Middle School OCD for getting me off my couch and back to writing.)

I am so happy to join up with Susan at Middle School OCD and Erin at Miss Lifesaver to join their 300 Follower Giveaway!



First, you must go and follow Miss Lifesaver and Middle School OCD!  

Go.  Now.  I can wait.

{hums patiently}

Are you back?  Oh good, then we can continue.

They are hosting a fantastic giveaway that features a scavenger hunt, where EVERYONE wins and a grand prize package full of wonderful items.

I've included my Literature Circle Guide as part of the grand prize.  It helps you prepare for using Literature Circles in a middle school setting based on my triumphs and failures!

I've also included some of my smaller items in their Everyone Wins! Giveaway.  There are so many awesome items, that I'm headed off to go and participate.

Favorite Teacher 

My favorite teacher was Mr. Bacer, my 6th grade teacher.  I loved this teacher, he was able to make all our subjects so interesting and it always seemed like he really cared about all his students.  He also was a computer guy and had an account to Prodigy (OMG I'm so old) that we could log onto to the internet during our 1/2 computer time.  The man was obviously a visionary in 1990.  I remember that his class really made learning fun.

  2. OMG! I had prodigy at home when I was REALLY young. I used it to email (was it called that back then?) my cousin in Colorado and THAT WAS IT because no one else I knew had the Internet at home. Haha! And Susan's absolutely right in her comment... he clearly inspired you in your tech-savvyness... yes, that's a word now! :) Thanks so much for being a part of this with us!!

  6. Hello!

    I wanted to let you know about a Pinterest contest that Shaw Contract Group, a global commercial flooring company, is running through April 30. The contest, called Design Schooled, is open to teachers, who by pinning their “dream classroom,” will be entered to win a $25 gift card from donorschoose.org.

    Link to more information about the contest: http://www.shawcontractgroup.com/designschooled

    I would love it if you could help us spread the word! We aren't trying to sell anything - our purpose in holding the contest is to research what teachers see as good classroom design. The results of which, we will apply to our product development and share with those who are designing future classrooms. Hopefully, both the contest and the results will benefit the teachers who follow your blog.

    Thanks so much for your help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments you may have!
