Giveaway, a linky party and a pin! LONG post!

 I hope you all are having a great Monday. (Yup, I remembered the day of the week!) I just want to remind you about my 100 Followers Giveaway and TPT sale. Giveaway ends in TOMORROW at 11:59pm EST.

I have linked up with 24/7 Teacher for her Sweet Linky Party. I am celebrating my sweet followers (thanks for getting me to 100) and my sweet Blogiversary that is coming up. I am collecting donations for my Blogiversary Giveaway, just click on the picture and complete the form. If you want to share about your SWEET blog memories, recipes, kind words or ideas just hop on over to the linky party (click on the picture).

 

My other SWEET idea I found through Pinterest... isn't it so awesome?! I have been trying to map out my classroom for the new year. I love to pull out a piece of blank copy paper, a clipboard and of course a pencil (lots of erasing) and attempt to map out my classroom from memory. For the draft sketch I try to include the wall, bulletin boards and anything that cannot be moved which in my case are my cubbies and my computer table. Now remember this is just a rough sketch of my room, with notes and all.

But I am getting off topic... my SWEET idea is this


I found this idea last year and I combed the Walmart for the oil drip pan wondering where I could put it in my classroom. I even found a fellow teacher, Make, Take & Teach who spray painted her cookie sheets and was trying to create an activity for each one. Thus helping out all her oil drip pan followers. But my magnetic station last year was in a tiny space fit in between my SmartBoard and a filing cabinet, tiny space. The red arrow is pointing at my Smartboard... tiny space I know!

But now after having my mind refreshed, I want to go out and finally purchase an oil drip pan for my classroom and put it on the back of my library bookshelf. My kids will have the whole carpet to spread out and work.

 Okay I want to share with you some things that I found this morning:
