A Crummy Week, A Little Goodwill, and My DonorsChoose Project
Hey everybody!
As I've alluded to the past few days, I'm not having the best week (even though I celebrated my birthday yesterday). In awesome news, my parents bought me an iPad for my personal/classroom use and because of their timing, it came with a $50 apps gift card!!! So that's very exciting.
When I'm feeling especially blue, I like to do nice things for others in order to feel better (it ALWAYS works!!!). While what I'm doing this time is not 100% selfless (I'll be honest and admit I'll benefit a little), I think it can still do some good, and it will allow me to try new things and expand my blog (one way I will benefit).
What in the world am I talking about? I want to purchase a $25 DonorsChoose giftcard through e-mail and give it away. The winner may donate to whichever classroom she or he wishes (including your own). You DO NOT have to donate to my project (although I won't turn you down). :-) I also want to learn the ins and outs of using Rafflecopter. I think this is a good way to continue to grow as a blogger while I am still far too timid to start creating my own things and putting them on TpT.
There are many different ways you can enter, and I'll leave it open for about a week. FYI, my DonorsChoose widget with my project is at the right of my blog (you need the link for my project for a few of the entries). My project can also be found here. I'm asking for a subscription to TIME for Kids to enhance my social studies curriculum. The reading in these issues also really challenges students and exposes them to nonfiction, which is a HUGE benefit!!! I'm also asking for a book of graphic organizers to help us make sense of these difficult texts as well as support our district implementation of Thinking Maps. I'm asking that you comment with your favorite first week of school read alouds/literature units since I'm still trying to decide what I'll do. Don't forget to include your e-mail. I'd especially love some 2nd grade specific suggestions. :-)
You can earn more entries by blogging about the giveaway and/or my DonorsChoose proejct (your choice), tweeting about it, pinning it, etc. The only really selfish entry I included is 1,000% optional. If you donate $1 to my DonorsChoose project you can earn an entry. This is the only one that is available daily (you could earn a total of 7 points with this option), and I assigned it a really low point value, because I didn't want to "pressure" anyone into supporting my project. I'm really just trying to get the word out so that I can recruit some support for my project.
Finally, I want to end with a huge thank you!!! This thank you goes out to all of you, my readers and "blog buddies." I have learned so much from all of you, and I'm so thankful for all of your support. I can't wait to see who wins my giveaway!!!
P.S. Even though you can get my button on the right, I've included it here for your convenience also. :-)

O...M...G!!!!
Herding Kats in Kindergarten is having a Donor's Choose giftcard giveaway. I almost hate to blog about it, because I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to win!!! :-) I figure that by sheer odds, I'm bound to win one of these contests I enter eventually, right?
Anyway, this was just a quick note to let you know about this giveaway. :-) Remember, if you win, you could always support my classroom. :-) *Cough*checkoutmywidgetontheright*cough*. :-) I'll be back "same bat time, same bat channel" tomorrow. :-)

A HUGE Giveaway (not mine)
As I'm sure many of you know, Jessica over at Mrs. Stanford's Class is having a COLOSSAL giveaway. If you haven't checked it out, you must. :-) I have put in many, many entries (don't worry, entering multiple times is totally allowed). In other news, I have spent my week off from grad school getting lots of things done, including reading this book.
It's okay so far. What are you all up to this summer? I know that many of our minds are in our classrooms, but I am enjoying some time off. :-)
