  1. Best in Class 2015 Book Giveaway and Cabot cheese are my favorite links from this post. I look forward to your posts, I always find something that I can use!

  2. My class of second graders enjoy reading the adventures of Mercy Watson! We would love to have the complete set.

  3. I love Mercy Watson! My class is currently writing a chapter book about 3 pigs named Aqua, Rosa, and Jason. They are having a ball drawing the pigs and settings too.

  4. What an awesome giveaway! The TenMarks math program is great. I will be sending that info with my kids. Wow.

  5. I love Kate DiCamillo! And my students love her books! Would love to have a set of those for my classroom! 🙂

  6. The resources I most enjoy are the ones that teach students about figurative language like idioms. Understanding idioms is helpful both in English Language Arts classes, but also in regular conversations.

  7. Already ordered Stick Dog and am looking forward to reading some of the other books listed over the summer. 🙂
