TWT Featured on... & a Giveaway

What a week! When I started my little blog, I never imagined how much impact my words would have. Last week I was a guest blogger at Maria Dismondy's site!

If you do not know Maria - you need to!! She is an amazing author and I adore her monthly focus on character. This month, the focus is on trust. How do you build it in your classrooms? What do you do when it has been lost? What about those students who are slow to trust?

I can't wait to hear not only Maria's thoughts but to read those of fellow teachers as well. This is her anchor chart which I love and need to post in my classroom. So beautiful and simple!

She has also been doing a back to school series to help parents and teachers prepare for the year ahead.  I discussed the importance of creating a teacher-parent-student connection and tips for communication. You can view my post here.

If you are hoping over from Maria's site... 

WELCOME! I am so glad you stopped by!

I was also featured yesterday on Bagels and Blogs... the week best of the best blog posts as determined by the Math Coach. (side note... this is one of  our Honey Bunch Blog Designs... both Erika and I were so nervous designing her blog!) I am always excited to see what she has found that is so helpful this week.

You can also find me on Halcolm Hathaway Publishers and coming soon: Shelton Interactive! Both sites are using portions of my reviews on their websites. 

Pretty amazing week.

I think this means we need to have a giveaway!

My sweet friend Maria offered to join me for a giveaway for her book Pink Tiara Cookies! I LOVE this book! Did you read my review on it? Even my boys who hate all "girl books" enjoyed it. I am hoping to read it with my class in the next week.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

Good luck! I will be drawing a winner next Sunday! I am hoping to have a few more goodies for all of you buy the end of the week. =)
