World Gratitude Day, September 21st!

Today is World Gratitude Day, a day to say thank you for the blessings we have been given!

I am grateful for many things: my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter, my sweet 2nd graders, my supportive sisters, and fellow teachers.  I am also grateful for my friends who make up the Teaching Tribune group, as well as all of my followers. 

My friend Mel,  came up with the idea to do a blog hop with all my other Teaching Tribune friends where you can grab LOTS of goodies! Click on the pic below to visit her blog and give her some love!  She also has links to all the participating blogs if you happen to get lost. 

The blog hop ends at The Teaching Tribune, where you can enter to win a $50 TpT Gift Certificate! 

 

To say, "Thank you!", I am offering a FLASH FREEBIE at my TpT store for one day only.  On Saturday, September 21st, you can download my brand new Life Cycle of a Pumpkin for FREE!  Just click on the link below!

You can hop on over to my friend Ms.Smarty Pants to take advantage of another great freebie!  Just click on the pic below!

Once again I would like to thank you for all of your support!

Today's the Day!!!

I have gotten together with some of my blogging buddies to form a collaborative teaching blog, and today is the day that my friend Mel and I are posting!  The theme is classroom organization, so head on over to the Teaching Tribune for some great organizational tips for teachers!

And.... you still have time to hop through the blogs and pick up a ton of freebies, as well as enter to win the last two prizes.  It looks like the tablet and a $50 TpT Gift Certificate are still up for grabs!  So hurry over and enter today!

Have fun!!!
