"100 Best" Award

I just love blogging... and surprises!

Today I received an email from Online Masters in Education notifying me that my blog had received a

"100 Best Web Resources for Educators" Award.

Woohoo! 

It really made my day... to be recognized for something that I am so passionate about and to be included in a list with some of the most amazing teacher bloggers out there!

Check out the list here:

Kindergarten Corner

Please check out my Kindergarten Corner ... as I have recently added several new games and websites. 
(Last Spring I created this section so that my students had easy access to learning games while using the computers in our classroom or at home. It has been a HUGE hit!) 

I can't wait to share these with my new students this fall. 

You can click on the picture below or always access it by clicking on the Kindergarten Corner tab above.

Lakeshore Contest!!!

I entered Lakeshore's Summer Learning Photo Contest
 and I need your help!  

The pictures that get the most "likes" will win Lakeshore Gift Cards.

I would love to let my children pick out some fun learning games or art materials for home...
and help my Kindergarten team begin building a great collection of books on CD for "Listen to Reading" time. 


Please consider helping me win! : )
