One lucky teacher will win these books and get them just in time for Grandparents Day! Llama Llama Gram and Grandpa is the newest edition in the best-selling Llama Llama series. When Llama Llama has a sleepover at his grandparents’ home, he has fun until he realizes he’s forgotten his beloved stuffed toy. Not to worry—Grandpa knows just how to make Llama Llama feel safe and loved wherever he is. Then in Happy Birthday, Davy!, Davy’s birthday wishes are for someone to tell him stories, someone to teach him new games, and someone with plenty of time to spend with him. His wishes all come true in a visit from his grandparents.  (Update: congratulations to Julie, who is the winner of our prize.)

It’s a removable foam tape that comes off cleanly but really sticks to the surfaces found in many classrooms—laminates, painted concrete blocks, wood, and whiteboards. You can get it in a roll to hang your posters and banners; then get the pads for artwork and projects. Click here to see more.

  1. I am excited about the teacher tape! In my media center I have brick walls, concrete block, glass, metal and plastic. I am often scrambling to find something that will work to hang signage, posters, student work, etc…

  2. I would love to win the classroom redo from Carson. And I would LOVE to win the books. Llama is a favorite of mine.

  3. Nice. That tape sounds like an excellent product. Also, some of the more ‘specialized’ days to celebrate are hard to find books for. Your recommendations are a welcome gift. Thank you!

  4. My favorite is Champions for Kids. I think that getting my school involved would help the negative attitudes that we have been seeing the last year or so. Community service is very fulfilling.

  5. We hold a Grandparent’s Tea every year at our day care. The children put on a special show and make cards and gifts for their grandparents. it would be graet to win the books.

  6. My favorite is the Llama Llama book, I enjoy reading them to my students. I rum the school book fair and we always sell out of our Llama Llama books glad to see a new one added to the series.

  7. Grandparents day will be September 11th at my school. I’m looking for good books to read and activities to make the event special and memorable for my students and their grandparents. Would love to win these books and add them to my classroom library.
