I am finished with Great Expectations training and it was fabulous! I learned so much and met so many great teachers! At the end of the day we all gathered in the auditorium for a farewell celebration and it was so great to see the 200+ teachers who took 4 days out of their summer to come to this training in an effort to make their classrooms more positive and their teaching more effective!
As if that wasn't good enough, as soon as I got home and walked in my front door, this is what greeted me:
My kids created this lovely wild thing for my classroom :) He's made from recycled materials and clay and is adorable. I'm going to love seeing him in my classroom each day!
I had planned to do the next installment of my centers series today, but I just don't have the time to do it up properly tonight! I promise to get it out by Sunday though (we're going to the water park tomorrow!). In the meantime, how about a little Donorschoose love?
If you don't know about Donorschoose, you need to head over to the website and get yourself acquainted with this fabulous program! It is an awesome way to get materials and field trips for your class! In the past I have been blessed to have many projects funded through this organization. I'd love to give back a little bit by having a giveaway for Donorschoose gift cards!
Just enter via the Rafflecopter form below and I will giveaway a $25, $15 and $10 Donorschoose gift card to three lucky winners who can then in turn bless their own classroom or someone else's!

There's a link to my project! Unfortunately it is running out of time! If I can get the total a little lower I might be able to just fund the rest out of my own pocket. It's awesome that you're giving out donorschoose.org gift cards!
I have a project that I recently put up - http://www.donorschoose.org/project/itouch-and-ilearn/816966/
Plus my daughter just submitted her very first donorschoose project too. If I win I would use it to help her project :-)
Oh goodness, I am really hoping I can get some help with this project!

This is so great for you to do. I do have a couple projects up right now, but have been so blessed with having some great ones recently funded. So, I don't know what I'd choose if I won.
I just put up my first ever project yesterday. It would be great to get it off to a good start with one of these!
