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.

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.
