Best and Most Linky Party

I'm linking up with Christina Bainbridge for a fun Yearbook style glance at my TpT store just in time for the big Back to School Sale.  If you didn't know it...the sale begins tomorrow Aug. 18th and I have my entire store discounted by 20%  Add to that the discounts offered by TpT and you will get 28% off everything.

Back to School

It's that time of year again....

I'm making some changes and my focus will be changing a wee bit since I'm moving out of the STEM lab and returning to 4th grade self-contained this year.  Perhaps I will do a better job of blogging?

Well, you've gotta start somewhere and I can't think of a better place than...

Please stop by my store and take advantage of the savings.

Holiday Shopping

The CyberMonday Sales aren't only for holiday shopping. Teachers Pay Teachers is hosting their annual CyberMonday (+Bonus Tuesday) sale event. The entire site is participating and many teachers are marking everything 20% off which increases your discount to 28% off the original prices. Beat the rush and load up your cart tonight. 

This is one of the items you can snatch up at a bargain when you visit my store.  Don't forget to add your classroom wish list to your holiday shopping. Happy Holidays!!

DonorsChoose Link Up

If you're looking for a way to show your gratitude this holiday season, go check out this blog post.   Teachers have linked up their DonorsChoose projects. I've chosen 6 projects to help out but there were 27 great projects linked up that could all use some support. Help spread the word. Donating to classrooms through DonorsChoose is a great way to get those last minute tax deductions before the end of the year.

While you're there you can also check out the other posts that are packed with freebies and ideas.
Some of the newest items are the Bowling Ball Basics unit with fun characters like Murray the Maintenance Man, 5 E posters, Lesson Plan Templates, and lots more.

Boot Camp with Steve Spangler

You may have seen a recent post about the $50 gift certificates I gave 4 beginning teachers for Steve Spangler materials.  Surprising these teachers with the chance to start their teaching career with some great science resources was a highlight of my summer! As we head into the school year I have great news for you...

If you teach science in North Carolina or any neighboring state, you do NOT want to miss this!  Steve Spangler is holding a Science Boot Camp in Greensboro, NC on October 3, 2012.  If you don't know who he is, check out some of his videos on the  Sick Science Youtube Channel. Steve is an outstanding teacher of teachers. He will definitely get you energized about teaching science.

In July 2011, I was fortunate to attend Steve's 3 day Science in the Rockies event.
If you want to know what you can expect from a day with Steve,  read my blog posts.

Day 2
Day 3

As soon as I found out Steve was coming to NC, I registered.  What a deal! A day with Steve for $199. How about a better deal?  That's right... let's all take $30 off the registration.  Just use this code when you register: BC20135  Don't wait too long. Steve's workshops fill up quickly!  Ready to find out more or register?  Click here! If you're planning to go, I'd love to meet up with you there.  Leave me a comment and we'll try to arrange a meet up the night before or something.
