Carson Dellosa Summer Learning Gift Pack Giveaway!!!

Around this time of the year, as I get ready to say good-bye to my little ones and send them off for the summer, I must admit I've always worried about my kiddos forgetting valuable skills when they get to first grade.  In the age of technology, it's a sad reality that for many, reading books may not be as important as it once was.

According to a study by John Hopkins University, by the time students reach 9th grade, the lack of summer learning can be the cause for an estimated  two- thirds of the achievement gap. Additional studies show that students can lose up to 2.5 months of learning throughout the summer. In some instances, teachers spend at least 2 weeks- some even up to 4 weeks, re- teaching skills lost over the summer. 

This makes for a difficult back- to- school transition which can be prevented. Carson Dellosa is committed to assisting parents and teachers alike close this gap. 

I am very excited to team up with the great folks at Carson Dellosa to bring you this amazing Summer Learning Gift Pack. One lucky winner will receive all of these goodies! The winner will be able to choose their preferred grade level. This giveaway is open to U.S. & Canadian residents only. Winner will be announced on Friday- May 25th. GOOD LUCK :)

But after checking out their website, I found this: 

They will be back in stock hopefully, hopefully by mid- late April. I've had mine for two months now and I am in LOVE with it. I've spent a pretty penny on electric sharpeners over the course of my teaching career. I first came across this post by Christie from Teaching in Flip Flops and I was SOLD. It was everything I'd ever want in a sharpener! 

Lots of other amazing bloggers have purchased one and blogged about it as well. So you can trust that it has been teacher tested & APPROVED :)

If you are okay with waiting about a month for it, I'd still like to offer it as a giveaway. If not I am offering your choice of a: 

$20 gift certificate from Scrappin Doodles

HOP INTO SPRING Math Prompts: Common Core aligned

I love math journals! Here I've created 36 easy, average, and challenging math prompts for your students. Perfect for differentiated instruction!

I use math journals a lot in my class because its a fun and easy way to reinforce skills. My students enjoy the independent work and {surprisingly} have fun drawing pictures and writing words in order to show me how they solved their problem. Lots of higher order thinking here. I use these journals as a quick assessment in order to plan my lessons around which group may need more one on one time with me as well. There are 59 pages in all including directions, and some FUN bonus patterning activities. All for just $3.00. 

Have a fantastic day & HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!!

I was contacted by MissTiina.com indicating that I was in violation of their terms of use. So just a reminder, be sure to always read TOU's very carefully. She was really sweet & understood it was an honest oversight on my part :)
