It's Summer!

Happy Summer!  I have definitely been absent from the blogging world and enjoying my first few days of summer!  I'm trying to give this poor little neglected blog some attention.

First up I'm participating in a giveaway to help A Teacher Mom celebrate her birthday!

There are so many amazing teachers participating in this giveaway!  You'll definitely want to enter to win the goodies!  Click the image above to enter! 

Second, I just ran across this great bood study!  I just finished my first year using the Daily 5 in my classroom and LOVED it!  There were definitely bumps along the way, but the benefits were fantastic!  My students were READERS this year!  They could sit and E.N.J.O.Y reading and ASKED to have free reading time!  So when I found out about the second edition of the Daily 5, I actually gasped a little!  :)  I ran (okay drove) to Barnes and Nobel, bought an iced tea at the cafe, and found this book!  Now, I'm following along, and backtracking a bit, with this Book Study!  If you're interested in joining, click below!  

I'll be back soon to post some of my thoughts and reflections!
