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!
