They all look fantastic, but I guess my favorite would be the Office Depot Office Max gift card.
I would love any of the items mentioned above.
Hard pick-too many fab resources! I love the Theodore Boone, and who can’t use $500 from Office Max or Barns and Noble?
I thought they were all great resources, but my favorite would have to be the Theodore Boone Teacher Guide activities.
I would love them all, but if I had to choose, it would be the Office Depot Office Max card.
Love them all but especially the Disney Books. I enter monthly. Then of course Elmers is always great.
Fingers crossed for you, Darlene!
I LOVE the John Grisham Theodore Boone series! I got my son hooked on them, too! =)
I would love to win the Elmers prize pack.
I think these are all excellent resources but I could sure use the Office Max gift card for my classroom!
I entered all three of the giveaways! How awesome to have these great resources available to teachers!
I would love the Time Timer! I am currently using a small wind up owl timer! 🙂
I love the chance to win a gift card for Barnes & Noble. I don’t think anyone can ever have enough books.
I would love to win any of the marvelous prizes. I could use the folders and the timer to practice our Dibel testing that is timed. The folders would help me organize my many files.
The Office Depot card would be so helpful in buying ink and cardstock for the memory books I make for each of my students.
The ElmerGlue prize would be used to update my writing and art centers.
Thank you for offering things that show your appreciation for teachers.

Elmer’s would be my favorite. I love doing art projects with students that they can keep and remember 3rd grade.
I would love to win anything. All the items would be utilized in my classroom!
I love the timer. I use a timer every day for math timed drills.
Although I love a lot of the resources offered – my favorite is 100th Anniversary of the Be Kind to Animals week and the resources that were available to download.
Animals are a passion of mine and I always love the reaction my students give to any animal that is brought into the classroom. I also believe this helps teach them kindness and compassion.
Thank you!
The timer looks really cool. All of it is amazing.
I would have to say the Barnes & Noble gift card as I love to read. The Timer also looks good as I use Timers all day long in my family childcare home.
I love the idea of a signed copy of “Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer.” The combination of mystery, realistic fiction, and informational text sounds irresistible.
That sounds like a great opportunity from Disney Publishing to get a class set of books
Be Kind to Animals Week would be great to do for an end of the year project.
Barnes & NObles is the greatest for selection of children’s books.
