A Christmas Stocking Freebie and Teacher to the Core Giveaway Galore!

I just wanted to share the news of an amazing "Teacher to the Core Giveaway Galore" going on at Katie Knight's blog Teacher Core! (OR REMIND THOSE THAT ALREADY KNOW)
12 Days of Giveaways!!!

Be sure to swing by and see if you can snag some cool teaching resources!! Tell her I sent you! ;)

(Oh, I'm participating in her giveaway too (along w/ many amazing bloggers, so be on the lookout!)She's got TONS of items lined up to dish out to YOU! Congrats to Teacher to the Core on the "200 Followers" milestone!


AND FOR AN ADDITIONAL FREEBIE FROM ME...
In case you've missed my primary freebie in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, I wanted to share it with you (being perfect timing and all...)--It's a quick little activity you can do with your kiddos to instill the magic of "GIVING" during the Christmas Season! I call it "Fill Someone's Stocking with Cheer..."
We all know it's more important to give rather than receive, so without any further rambling, check it out:

My Binding: Paper Monster Laminator Giveaway!

Guess what???
I have been playing with my new toy!! Yes, a laminator! In terms of toys, it's a favorite among teachers today!
You can see in the pics that I've been busy, and I keep thinking of new items to laminate. Oh no.....How will I get caught up on things? Some way, it'll all come together. In the meantime, I'm laminating! Just know this....it is addicting. (This is your warning!)

These are some of my literary elements I have in my store...
I printed them on colored paper!
I <3 how these are working out in my room!

Love these character trait word cards by Rachel Lynette! 

So, the fabulous news I have to share is-----
MyBinding is going to give one of my lucky followers a laminator. 
Along with my 12 in. laminator, I received a package of 25 --11 1/4 x 17 1/4 pouches and a package of 100 --8x11 pouches. 
See this video regarding the product I've been fortunate enough to use for my classroom and visit the MyBinding web site--

Paper Monster 12 in. Laminator

After you browse the MyBinding site, come back and leave me a comment and tell me how you would use a laminator for your classroom! Also, "like" MyBinding's Facebook page. Simple!

It would be great if you would become a follower of my blog if you aren't already... Then, enter via Rafflecopter! 
Now, for some pics....

Another item I love and was pumped to laminate---Check out these subject/verb agreement sentence parts---Again, I'm a LOUD one, so I printed them on BRIGHT, colored paper! Laminated in these pouches I got, they are super durable--thicker than the lamination used on our school laminator! ;)

  Don't get me wrong, there are tons more pics, but I am trying to keep this brief and to the point...as if you don't already have pictured what you would be laminating.... ;) 

You guys have 3 days to enter this giveway!

Have You Heard the News from Lessons in the Middle?

Because I've collaborated and networked with Krystal Mills of Lessons from the Middle since I became a seller on TpT, I am ANXIOUS and feel that I JUST HAVE share some news... She has one of the biggest giveaways I've seen! It started today! It is definitely something you want to check out if you are intermediate grades~! 

A few tidbits from her post:

The best thing about this giveaway: Everyone wins!

Let’s face it, we all love to enter contests. However, it’s disappointing when you never, ever EVER win anything! I was one of those people who treasured the “participation” ribbon that everyone who ran the race received. So now, I’m giving you, your very own. Everyone who follows my blog and fills out an entry form will be rewarded with a virtual goodie bag of resources from myself and my fellow TPT friends. You’ll each be emailed a package of amazing freebies: Lessons, activities, games and more, for your classroom as a THANK YOU for following my blog! How can you argue with that? You can’t! Oh, but it gets better…

Five lucky winners will receive a bundle of resources, valued at over $40.00, that have been generously donated by some amazing teachers. 

Not only that, one of these five winners will also be awarded a $25 Amazon gift card to spend at their leisure!

In addition to these five winners, 7 lucky teachers will win a shopping spree in one of the TPT stores listed below! It’s the luck of the draw. If you win a spree from Science Stuff but you don’t teach Science – buy some items and donate them to your school or pass the winnings along to a colleague who teaches that subject matter. Think of it as a random act of kindess!
