I really like the ipad.
The sample illustrations from the Halloween book are fabulous. I would love to read the story.
The citrus and farm food sites are great- I love any opportunity to teach my kids about healthy eating and nutrition. Thank you!
Love the illustrations. Just looking at them made me smile. Can’t wait to read the storyline.
Love the illustrations. How cool.
Walmart contest yes. and The Alliance to Feed the Hungry. I am always looking for ways to teach my kiddos about food production.
The new books from Crabtree look great! I will also sign up with Walmart! Thank you.
I would love to win the grant to study more about food production, healthy foods and from farm to fork.
I love the pictures in this book. I can’t wait to share it with my students. Thank you for the opportunity to win a free iPad or Wal-Mart gift card. Both contests were easy to enter.
Thanks for posting great freebies for teachers. Love sharing on http://www.pennilessteacher.com
The Working Mummies is my Fave! Sound so fun!
How does a mummy pay bills? The boys I work with would surely enjoy finding the answer to this and the other questions they may have about Halloween.
Working Mummies by Joan Horton sounds like a great book. I also entered the contest for the crabtree books.
I love any contests that help out teachers, but I really liked the Alliance to Feed the Future contest. Many of our students really need the guidance to make better eating choices, and the earlier you catch them, the better!
Working Mummies sounds like a good book.
I love reading Halloween books to my students. I am always looking for new books. Working Mummies sounds like it would be something my students could really connect with.
I need a variety of books in my classroom library. Working Mummies by Joan Horton would be a great addition.
This looks incredibly adorable! I am always looking for new books to fill my very empty first grade library! First year first grade teacher could really use suggestions:)
My students with special needs absolutely love Halloween and would love this colorful and exciting book.
The students at our little school in rural West Virginia would LOVE to see this new book!! Our small library shelf of used books is Nowhere close to to being full, and I KNOW for a fact Working Mummies would become an INSTANT favorite!!! Fingers crossed to win a copy for our well-deserving kiddos!!
Of course the iPad would be incredible, but I’m a huge fan of kids books, and would love to win the Mummy book.
We would love to win any of the prizes. I work at a new elementary school that is currently working diligently to fill our book shelves. This book would be a wonderful addition.
We would love to have the books for the Common Core Standards.
