I'm reading and learning so much!

  Yesterday I decided to try and put all the things that I have been saving this summer on a jump drive so it can just go anywhere. Well when I just copied the folder I have everything in, I had over 750 files!! And this is just from starting blogging and "stalking" mid June. So I have to say to all the teachers who create activities and games to share with their fellow co-workers, thank you. Your contributions will help making my kindergarten class a little bit more successful this year.
   Of course I am still not done... I have to catch up with the Math Work Station blog because I have only read up to 3, I am currently in chapter 4... If you have yet to jump in on that discussion you can find chapter 1-2 blog party begins at Mrs. Wills' Kindergarten. Chapter 3's blog can be found at Learning With Mrs. Parker. Chapter 4: Beginning Number Concepts can be found at Kindergarten Crayons.
   And if you are even further ahead of me here are the remaining chapters... all 8 chapters have been done so make sure you go and read all that everyone has shared.
Chapter 5: Addition and Subtraction at Primary Graffiti
Chapter 6: Place Value at Oceans of First Grade Fun
Chapter 7: Geometry at Patton's Patch
Chapter 8: Measurement at Lory's Page
Happy Reading and Downloading!:)

 While I did not post yesterday, I missed being on my blog. I have come to enjoy having a blog and being able to share my thoughts. And I especially love telling you when there is a good giveaway going on, just in case you are following too many blogs and are unable to catch them all... LIKE ME! I wish that google reader was so smart that they would just divide up new posts into posts vs. giveaways and that might cut down on the time I spend reading and downloading. Don't get me wrong I love reading everyone's posts because they are often so informative about little crafts, ideas and activities to do with my kinders or even to do for myself. I just don't have time to go through them all and plus when I keep following new blogs daily, I know I will never get to all the post. Currently I have over 550 posts to look through and I keep getting more and more everyday. If that was a linky party, what would you wish for, I would wish for more time in the day!! But enough about that, I did want to share about some giveaways happening before I went on a sidetrack.
  Giveaways:
