From the comments, I’ll randomly select a teacher to win two books that are sure to inspire. In Vincent Paints His House, Vincent has a problem choosing the color. But with a little cleverness and lots of colors, his house becomes a work of art! Then the young boy in The Wonder takes an incredible adventure when he finally sets his imagination free. (Update: congratulations to Susan, who is the winner of our prize.)

Oh, love biocolor!
I love Vincent paints his house it would go well with our color theme coming up Under the Rainbow.
I also visited the Crayola website and have saved it in my Teacher’s Website folder. It sure would be nice if I could be lucky enough to win any of the great things from today’s email.
I love the Wikki Stix! They are always a hit in my classroom of special needs learners.
Absolutely LOVE bio color thanks for contest link and would love to win the books.
I love Wikki Stix and the new book The Wonder looks like a mentor text for writing.
I would love the book called: The Wonder because I teach gifted 3rd graders in a Title I school and most of them are just like the main character in the book. I feel that this would be a great read aloud and help my students link what’s in their heads to the creative open-ended projects I assign to them.
I liked the Wikki Stix. I think these would be a wonderful resource to use during our Daily 5 word work station. Students can use the Wikki Stix to build words.
I entered the BioColor contest. That looks super!
I like the Bio Color and I also would love the two books. Anything to help the kids think outside the box is great.
We use Wikki Stixs in our class. I also like the Bio Color.
The BioColor paint looks awesome! My students would love that!
Wikki Stix are great for learning letters, shapes, etc or are great for just being creative!
I have been enjoying the book reviews – this week my favorite post was Vincent Paints – looking forward to recommending the book to several parents.
The crayola lessons look fun. Too bad I don’t have more time. Sigh.
