Christmas Advent Event!

The Christmas season is upon us! To celebrate, I am hosting a "Christmas Advent" Event!

 

Christmas is one of my favorite times of year! In my house, I decorate everything! I put up the tree, decorate it, put the lights up outside, and decorate the entire house. Once, when I was in high school, I decorated my entire house, inside and outside, before my mom came home from work.  

 

This year, I wanted to do something different for Christmas. I did a Christmas Advent with my students last year. Why not try it out in my store!

 

Each day leading up to Christmas Day, I will post a new Christmas or Winter themed Math game. I will give one away each night. Afterwards, it will be on sale for 48 hours. On Christmas Day, the last game will be free for everyone! Make sure you get it before the end of the year when it goes on sale.

 

I will also be giving away 4 prize packs each week. Each giveaway begins on Monday and ends the follow Sunday, with the exception of the last giveaway. Here are the prizes for each giveaway.

• Prize Pack #1 - Movie Night Pack - 4 Blu-ray Movies including "Happy Feet", "Happy Feet 2", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", and "The Wizard of Oz", a box of Popcorn, Popcorn bags, and a $5 gift card to buy soda and candy.

This will be oodles of fun! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Obsessions, clipart, covers, pencils, and more

Fighting Obsession

Recently, I looked at the TpT Forum and someone asked how do you fight obsession? I completely understood what they meant. Last night, I stayed up for a good while just making covers for my Pinterest boards. When you think about it, that's a lot of boards. I have 24. First it started with 3 or four. You know, that basics: math, reading, science, and social studies, but my OCD dictated that EVERYONE LOOK SIMILAR. So making only 4 turned into 24.

　

Making covers for my Pinterest Board lead me to a website, mycutegraphics.com. This site has amazing clip art. Now don't get me wrong. I love making my own clip art, but this way much faster and it wasn't for sale so why not. If you haven't checked it out, please do so.

 

The backgrounds I made also gave me another obsession. I haven't put them up for sale yet, but rest assured, when I come up with at least 20 design, they will be available to buy and customize.


 

Great Finds - Winning the Pencil War - An Effective Management System

 

While pinning, I came across this classroom management technique that I am dying to try. Every teacher has that issue with pencils. Either not enough, they're not sharpened, students lose them, or finding them on the floor. This system can eliminate that problems.

It requires a pencil pouch or box and 8 pencils. Basically, students get 8 pencils a week. If all 8 pencils are in the box, students get a prize. If not, no prize. Each students has a pouch/box.

This product is available on TPT and best of all : FREE!
