Today is the last day of the Christmas in July Sale. My product on sale for today is one of my VERY, VERY, VERY favs that I use all year! It is my Months of the Year Unit. I use the printables the first day or two of each month but there are also centers and pocket chart cards included that I squeeze in randomly through out the year.

We started this book drive earlier this week and are overwhelmed with the response! We still need books and hope you will sign up for a few. We are trying to fill the spots on the spreadsheet that are empty but feel free to add your own if you want to purchase something that is not listed.

Don’t forget about the Blog Hoppin Scavenger Hunt and your change to win an ipad, case and gift certificate to itunes. Everyone could use it, right?!?

If you want to know more or to download the rules and list of items to find click HERE!

Everything is happening over on Instagram and you can search hashtag #bloghoppin2015 to see all the pictures from everyone playing along!

Do you need ANOTHER social media time trap?! Yea, me either. But, I fell victim. The whole teacher blogging community has gone a little crazy over Periscope. Lynda made a great blog post on Blog Hoppin explaining what Periscope is and how it works!
