My first 2012 post is...

A giveaway...who would have guessed...

Kristin over at Teeny Tiny Teacher is hosting a quick new years give away...I love giveaways as you know and I love her blog. She is so generous and shares much of what she has created! As most teachers I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on things, so it is great when I can find something she has posted that I can use...AWESOME.

Anyway, head over and check out her Uno, Dos, Tres Giveway...

Have a blessed new year, I'll be back...

A sharing post...

I'm really glad to be back to work, my class is great so far. I wanted to do a post to share some of the great resources I've found in my blog hopping...

Over at First Grade Factory Alicia shared a great project called Word Attack. Go check it out...I love it! She has many other resources you should head over and check out...

Oh and she'd doing a giveaway right now too....


Head over and check it out...have a good night.

202 unread emails and 642 unread blogs in Google Reader...

After a lot of struggle...I don't know how to get my blog to post! I have a 'wonderful' blog written that I can't get to copy and past over with links.

I had it all ready to publish and my blogger decided to give me an orange 0 at the top of the page and not do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here is the blog post with no links :-( I don't know how to get them to come over :-(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And after one dead computer battery, two stops for snacks, two bathroom breaks, lots of reading, downloading, bookmarking, saving and deleting emails here's what we have, a sharing post that is long over due...here's to hoping I can be a bit more consistent when I'm back to school.

WOW, I've done a lot of reading...and with the email situation a lot of deleting...

When I started today my Google Reader have 642 unread posts...I'm was wondering if I was going to make it through them today or not...well I did...I don't really recall what time it was when I sat down but, its been at least 2 hours...

Random Question:  Is anyone having issues with Google Reader today? It's not downloading things correctly, when I try to download original so I can save it to my Mac it's messing some of them up and just plain not opening others....I want my resources *stomps foot like two year old*

Here are a few giveaways I found in the mass amount of unread posts...

1. Over at In The Teacher's Lounge she's having a fabulous giveaway for her celebration of 200 followers.

She has partnered with Leslie of Kindergarten Works for a fabulous literacy center. Head over and check it out.

2. Over at First Grade Escapades she is hosting a giveaway for reaching 100 followers, head over and check it out. Looks AMAZING!


 3. On Mrs. McCumbee's Blog she's hosting a 200 followers giveaway till sometime this week so hurry over and check it out.




And then here I'll blog about some fabulous things I've found going through my Google Reader!! Love great resources!

Hope you've enjoyed my rambling, feels good to be back. However I still don't have internet at home so I don't know when I'll be around to get all caught up again. Thanks so much for being a great resource!

Lookie what I got :-)

I entered a contest from Mrs. Lemons a while back for a t-shirt from Claire Lynn and guess what I found in the mail today! Uber excited!
Added this post from my phone I'll have to come back and add links later, thanks so much Amy! It's awesome!
Links have now been added...enjoy!
