  1. Love Love the Playmobil contest. I have always loved their products. My own kids played with them.
    Also like the walmart one. Think I would like the Ollie book too.

  2. I love the PLAYMOBIL contest. I have some Pre-K students this year along with my kindergarten so I will be entering this one!

  3. I love the Playmobil Contest & that abcmouse.com is free to Preschool teachers. Thank you again for some great resources.

  4. Ollie’s School Day is exciting- an interactive read aloud. The Champion Creatively Alive Children series looks interesting and I will check it out.

  5. I have taken Handwriting without Tears and will be using it this year with my Pre 3’s. I also just purchased 3 tablets and am just learning all the great sites to use. I really need more technology for my school and myself!

  6. I would build a fabulous library within my classroom to house literature from all different genres. I would have levels 1,2 and 3. I would make sure that they were multicultural and a mixture of fiction and non-fiction books. I would have the book “Ollies School Day” as an opening reader to my class. I could incorporate so many writing activities and social studies and science within my grade. I would share with all my grade partners and have contests in reading and writing to make the year more interesting.

  7. I am a 2nd grade teacher and trying to earn my Masters in Library Media, so winning a free book would be AWESOME!

  8. I am a brand new Kindergarten teacher and being a first year teacher is very exciting! I would love to win any of the contests above because anything would be a great add to my new room! I am looking forward to starting off my career on a great note!

  9. I think the Playmobile contest is the best. They are such a wonderful toy for children. Children can really be creative and use their imaginations when they play with Playmobile.

  10. I would love to get some new toys for my Pre-K class and the books as well….we are going digital this year and it is a whole new experience for the teachers and children and always good to add to the experience. Thanks!
