I have a special treat for you. Starting today and over the next several months, I’ll be giving away classroom products that are winners of Learning magazine’s 2016 Teachers’ Choice Awards! 
These are the very best in classroom-tested, teacher-recommended products. How do I know? Our nationwide panel of teacher-judges tested and evaluated them in their classrooms. The teacher-judges are real preschool through grade 8 teachers using the products with real students and providing real feedback. (And that makes me real excited!) The Teachers’ Choice Award designation is given to the best of the best.

Write this Way would be a great resource. Thank you for these awesome giveaways!!!
I like the I can stay calm books. Children are under so much pressure these days that we can all learn how to stay calm. Susan
Oh my, I want them all. The projector could be used to help with training events for the 18 classrooms that I coach/mentor. The tech stuff would be wonderful additions to any classrooms. I am especially interested in the Social Emotional Learning Foundations. Serving at-risk children means, at least to me, that many of them have seen and experienced difficult and frightening things. I would love to build a workshop around this material for the teachers so we could all better support the children we teach and the families we serve.
The prizes are all great! I would love to win the Epson Powerlite 99WH. I’m the library media specialist and this would add so much to my lessons!
Let there be light… The Epson powerlite would be
a great way to light up my room as I model lessons for teachers and students alike.
Thanks.
These all sound like wonderful products. They would be very beneficial to my students. Thank you for all of these opportunities.
WOW! Write This Way: How Modeling Transforms the Writing CLassroom would be an AMAZING addition to our second grade classroom!Second graders are so eager and motivated to author their own stories – I would love to be able to better guide and support them. Thank you so much for all of the amazing articles and resources you provide for teachers. We are so blessed to have you helping us – teaching is a challenge, your resources make it so much easier (and fun!) Keep up the great work!
Write this way or the Discovery tech book series would be great ways to help my students
They all sound wonderful, but the projector would be my top pick.
Epson PowerLite 99WH-I vote for you! Fab way to keep lessons interactive!!
“I Can Stay Calm” would be a great asset to the preschool classroom.
Oh My goodness love all the prizes but I would love the Stay calm books for my prek class would be wonderful as would the projector.
This is like a special Christmas for teachers.
I am very interested in the “Write This Way: How Modeling Transforms the Writing Classroom”
Hi the SEL, “I Can Stay Calm” would be outstanding for my class as well as myself especially with all of todays fast paced agendas and speedy life styles.
But of course as a teacher anything that we win is always appreciated and valued.
Thank you so much for doing a giveaway like this! The projector would be amazing in my technology deficient classroom!
The classroom projector! We only have a couple to share in our whole school and this would be wonderful for short clips and power point presentations!
I would love this for my n c pre k classroom!!!!!!
Discovery Education Techbook app is my favorite this month the others are fine but the app looks great. I think I am asking Santa for an Ipad to use in my classroom. I teach Gifted and Talented grades K thru for and know my students will love this app. I wonder if the app works for chrome books.
As usual I am going to be the teacher in the know thanks to Karen and her blog.
Write This Way is my pick because I model writing every day and my class loves to write!
The projector would be great for my classroom as I don’t have a proper functioning one now.
My greatest weakness in the classroom is teaching writing. “Write this Way…” would be a great resource to help me improve this area. Thank you for the chance to win!
The “Write This Way: How Modeling Transforms the Writing Classroom from Capstone” would be a great addition to my classroom. I am always looking at different ways to help my kids with their writing.

All the items would be helpful, but especially the projector. Thank you for doing this.
Definitely the projector!!!! Also the MySELF books would be a wonderful addition as well!!
Hi! I love your magazine it’s a great classroom resource. Your raffle is wonderful and the projector would especially come in handy to project my computer during my computer classes. Thanks for your generosity and hopefully I can Win! Happy holidays from Illinois!
Would love to win the Projector for my special education students who don’t have this modern technology in our class.
The Epson PowerLite 99WH projector would be the perfect addition to my classroom! Thanks for the chance to win!

These are all amazing products. I would especially love the projector. My school is way behind with technology (I teach at a Head Start) we have no budget for the “fancy” stuff and I would love to be able to design instruction around internet resources.
Great info shared. Epson products are great!
The power lite 99 would be a great addition to my classroom. It would add an extra Denver for students to be introspective and think.
