Hop on over there to see my post and pick up my freebie.  Then stick around to see what everyone else has been posting!

Sharing My Pot of Gold

If you have a project waiting for funding on DonorsChoose, you don't want to miss this.
Each month, I have a small pot of gold.
This "gold" is a DonorsChoose gift card and I enjoy nothing more than supporting my fellow teachers.

This month my pot is filled with $150.  I'm planning on supporting 3 projects with $50 each.  One of these projects could be yours.

So you probably want to know how to get in on the action.  It's really very simple.
Copy and paste a link to your project in the comments section of this post.
Yes, that is all you need to do.  You can post as many projects as you wish, but each one needs to be posted separately.
I will be reviewing all of the projects submitted on Friday, March 16th and 3 lucky people will receive donations on St. Patrick's Day.

Good Luck!

7 Things About Me

I don't know how I missed it but back in September I was given a Versatile Blogger award by Life in Special Education. Her blog has lots of great ideas, so check it out even if you aren't a special ed. teacher!

Here's the deal.  I get to tell you 7 things about me and choose 15 newly discovered blogs to pass this award on to.  Here we go.

Spring Ahead

This weekend, we'll observe Daylight Savings Time by moving our clocks ahead.  For me this is usually the true signal of spring.  We've had unseasonably warm weather over the last month here in NC.  In some ways it feels like spring came earlier than usual.

Tonight I welcome spring with a cool app that surfaced in my email.  It is called iNaturalist.
I was hooked right away. Let me explain why.

Permission to Pin

There are so many great resources on the Internet!
Who knows, you may even think that my little blog is one of them.
Nothing would make me happier than to know I shared something you found useful!

In the spirit of collaboration and sharing, I want to make it perfectly clear that you have my permission to "pin" anything I have created and shared.  Why am I being so formal?  Simple.

Leapin' Leprachauns!

Crazy Leprachauns already visited my store. They have played Leap Year tricks on all of my prices so that the final prices all end in 29 cents. You might not think so when you first look at them but they marked my prices down 20% and then they marked them down another 10% when they messed around with TpT's pricing too. That means you're getting 28% off everything in my store and the final prices all end in 29 cents. What a funny little trick, but as with all magic it won't last forever. Once leap day is over I'm certain the magic will wear off and everything will go back to normal. Have fun shopping! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Techedoutteacher

Clip Art for Student Projects

Sometimes I just forget about great websites like DK Books.  If you have students completing projects and want them to use quality clip art, this is the place to look first! This is free, quality clip art for personal, non-commercial use only.  Let me be clear on that.  I know that a lot of my TpT followers will be looking for clip art for their products.  That is not what this is for.  Teachers looking for an easy to search, student friendly site will definitely want to bookmark this one!  Your students will have beautiful projects with accurate images from now on.
