Hi there and thank you so much for stopping in today! I’m excited to share this post with you and hopefully knock your back to school blues! If you haven’t yet heard- TPT will be hosting their big annual back to school sale on Tuesday, 8/1 – Wednesday, 8/2 WOOT! My entire shop will be on sale for 20% off and you can save a total of 25% off using the checkout code- BTS2017
Now that we have that under our belts we can jump into all of the fun I have planned! In this post you’ll be able to snag an adorable freebie, sign up to be one of the $250 classroom winners AND checkout what is new and exciting in my shop for this sale! Let’s get started!

Now let’s talk about something super special that I am REALLY excited about! I see how you hard work EVERY DAY. That’s right– teachers work and think school every day. Even when we don’t want to, we just can’t escape school. We are thinking about how we will decorate our classroom, what we will teach, what new and exciting teaching practices we will implement and MORE! Teachers are part of the most selfless profession! Teachers will provide for their classrooms and students without thinking about it twice. I find that so heartwarming but equally sad! I feel as though teachers give so much of their time and dedication, why are they required to spend their own money, too? I tried to think about a way I could make a difference for two lucky teachers!
I will be choosing two lucky teachers and gifting them $250 to spend on their classroom! Below are some ideas of how the teachers can spend their winning moo-la! You can choose some awesome new baskets from Really Good Stuff, a new stash of Astrobrights paper or snag some awesome teacher goodies from Amazon! Would you like to be entered for the giveaway? It’s a super EASY Google form!
