I'm noticing a pattern…and End of the Year Review Math Packet GIVE AWAY!

Hi everyone! I am seriously noticing a major pattern here with my blogging! I don't know if my stress level gets higher during the winter months…(uh, yah!)…or if teaching just get so crazy busy…(double yah…), or if maybe I just like to hibernate from blogging over the winter months….but what's the deal with me going a-Wall with blogging every year during the winter months???

How's everyone doing?? How's the stress going knowing that the end of the year testing is just around the corner? How's your teaching with "rigor" going? And teacher evaluations?? Yah…it's that time of year when the stress levels start to get me. I noticed that my back is aching and my shoulders are tight with stress…So, I'm devoting myself to deep breathing and positive affirmations more than ever!

Well, I've spent the last three weeks creating a review packet for 2nd grade math for my kiddos. It's finally done and we've been using it in class to review the entire year of math, and to help teach the math skills for term 3 and 4. If you are on a tight printing budget, you can do what I did and take a screen shot of the page you need and project it on your white board. I just have my students answer each question one at a time on dry erase boards or on scratch paper if I need an exit ticket.

I'm giving this 125 page packet away to three lucky followers!! Please leave me a comment below with your email address for a chance to win!

I'm also giving it away to three lucky Facebook followers, so you have double the chances to win! My Facebook winners will be announced Sunday night and my blog winners will be announced on Wednesday night, so spread the word!

Hugs and love!!

Thank you so much to everyone who entered my winter packets give away! I loved reading your resolutions for this year! {Lots of great ideas!!} My resolutions are to 1.)

Happy New Year Sale and Give Away!

Happy, Haaaaaappy New Year!! I hope everyone had a peaceful holiday season and a fun New Year's eve! The hubs and I had a low-key New Year's Eve playing some intense rounds of Operation (the board game) and watching tv.

My highlight for this week was the small little meet up some of the Utah Bloggers had at the Cheesecake Factory in Salt Lake City! Nikki from Melonheadz Illustration, Krystal Plott, Natalie Kay Crockett, Rachelle Gunderson Smith, and Lori Bryson Evans and I had a wonderful time eating great food, yummy cheesecake (I tried the S'mores Cheesecake and it was to die for!!!) and talking teacher stuff! I have followed these girls on their blogs and chatted with them on Facebook for a couple of years now, so it was great to finally put the face to the name. I feel incredibly blessed to know these amazingly talented and giving women.

To celebrate the New Year, I am having a huge 20% off sale at both my Teachers Notebook and my Teachers Pay Teachers stores. 

I am also giving away my Penguin Packet, my Penguin Informational Writing Packet, and my newest packet, Winter Print 'N Go! Math for 2nd Grade Common Core. 

I will choose three winners on Sunday night and announce the winners on Monday!

Thank you all for a wonderful 2013 and for all your support over the 2 1/2 years I've been a blogger!

Love and Hugs for a Happy 2014!
