I lost, but you won!

Being involved in the March Blogger Match-up has been so much fun, but it all came to an end tonight for me. My team, the Dayton Flyers, played much like my Texas Tech Raiders did last football season. They could not keep it together when it really mattered. I am glad I was matched up against The Whole Wheat Class so now I can cheer her on to victory {even if her team is a HUGE Texas Tech rival}.

Because my team could not pull it together and lost, you, my friends, WON! One lucky winner has the chance to get my Phoneme Segmentation Unit. This unit is on its way to becoming my best seller. I love everything about this packet: the activities, the font, the clipart. It is all pretty grand.

Here is a snippet from the description for the Phoneme Segmentation Unit on my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.

This document has 169 pages that provide the teacher a variety of ways of introducing and reinforcing the material in whole group, small group, or centers. There are five different activities included in this file, focusing on words with 2,3,4, and 5 phonemes. It is recommended that you laminate the materials for durability before using.

This zip file contains:
-96 colored ‘Stretch it Out’ cards with picture and dots (33 pages)
-96 colored ‘Stretch it Out’ cards with picture, word, and dots (33 pages)
-96 Sectioned Phoneme Sound cards (16 pages)

Five for Friday

I first joined TPT about four years ago. I made several things at that time and did not touch any of it again until about a month ago. I decided that I want to pursue this seriously so here I am trying to get back into it. I have been busy trying to update all of the products in my Teachers Pay Teachers store the past month. My hope is to have everything updated within the month so I can put my focus on making new things for the next school year. As I update or put new products on my blog, they will be listed as 50% off for the first 48 hours. Yall have been amazing with the support each of you has shown me so far. Please follow me on any of these social media outlets that you are a part of: TPT, Facebook, Instagram, Google +, Bloglovin, and Pinterest. Leave a comment with your details and I will be happy to follow you too!

I am participating in the March Blogger Match-up. Each of the 64 participating bloggers was randomly paired with a 2015 NCAA tournament team. Two bloggers will compete head to head with each game played. Like the tournament, once you lose you are out. The blogger of the winning team will go to the next round. The blogger of the losing team will have to share a chosen product from his or her TPT store {minimum $5 value} with the blogger they just competed against. The BEST part is that the losing blogger also has to share this product with one lucky follower! Check out my post to see what I will be giving away!

I reached 500 followers on Instagram!!! You guys are amazing and I am thankful for each and every one of you. It has been a lot of fun to share this journey with such an fabulous group of teachers, parents, bloggers, educators, etc. This has been such a supportive and encouraging community to be a part of and I look forward to meeting many more people along the way. To celebrate 500 followers, I am going to have a BIG giveaway. I was thinking of giving away ALL FOUR of my Dolch Popcorn Word products to one lucky winner. What do you think? Be watching for more information once I have my giveaway for the March Blogger Match-up. Here is a picture that shows what is included in each product.

I got my flights and hotel booked for the Teachers Pay TeachersConference in Vegas this summer. I am so excited for this event. It will be such an amazing opportunity to learn how I can better my business and meet all kinds of talented bloggers, teachers, and/or creators. My Vegas roomie, Elissa Jones (from Mrs. Jones Creation Station), and I will be hosting a Stay at Home Moms on TPT luncheon Wednesday, July 8 at Grand Luxe Café in the Venetian Hotel. If you are a stay at home or work at home mom and are on TPT you should join us. You can RSVP here for the event.

We did a very fun science experiment this week with ‘magic eggs’. Here is a little peek into what happened. I will be sharing how to make your very own magic eggs on Monday. I will even have a FREEBIE observation page that can be added into your science notebook so students can document what happened before, during, and after.

Well those are my highlights from my week. I look forward to reading what you were up to this week over the next few days. I hope you have a great weekend and see you next Friday!

March Blogger Match-up

March Madness has officially begun! We are BIG sports fans in this house. We spend most of the year rooting for one of our teams it seems. We have had Cowboys season tickets since we moved to Texas and I will always love my Texas Tech Red Raiders. I am a huge fan of the OKC Thunder and my husband is a die hard Liverpool fan {therefore, I am a Liverpool fan}. We also enjoy cheering for the Texas Rangers.

If I am honest I do not normally watch all of the games for March Madness {I usually wait until the Elite 8} but a friend told me about this March Madness Blogger Match-Up and I knew that I had to get involved. Ashlyn with The Creative Classroom spearheaded this entire event.

Each of the 64 participating bloggers {list at bottom of post} was randomly paired with a 2015 NCAA tournament team. Two bloggers will compete head to head with each game played. Like the tournament, once you lose you are out. The blogger of the winning team will go to the next round. The blogger of the losing team will have to share a chosen product from his or her TPT store {minimum $5 value} with the blogger they just competed against. The BEST part is that the losing blogger also has to share this product with one lucky follower!

This is the product that I will be sharing:

Here is the bracket.

It looks like I am now a Dayton Flyers fan! If I am completely honest, I have never even heard of this team. I kind of find that embarrassing since I consider myself a big sports fan. {I will blame it on mommy brain or something like that} The Dayton Flyers will be taking on Providence Friars tomorrow night. Joya at Live Love Serve and Teach is the blogger I will be competing with in this match-up.
