Winners x15, a McPhoto, My Booklist, and Something Fun for St. Patty's Day!

Ok bloggy friends... here's the big reveal...

If you're one of the people on my list, please e-mail me at christina4062@hotmail.com and let me know which item you'd like from my Teacher's Notebook Shop.  You can check out all of my items by clicking the button below.

Next... The McPhoto of me greeting at the door at McTeacher Night last night!  We raised over $700.00 for our reading month committee!!!!!

My Booklist:

Mrs. Foote asked yesterday what I'm reading on my Nook... I just finished The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis.  If you are a fan of his, this is a MUST read.  He is one of my favorite authors.  I got to see him speak a few years ago at MRA (a big reading conference) and he was just starting this book.  He read us the first 20 pages or so and it was just so hilarious!  I've been waiting for it to come out and it was released in January.  **An addition:  He's a Michigan author, ya'll!  If you think you don't know who he is, you really do.  He wrote Bud, Not Buddy, The Watsons Go to Birmingham, and Elijah of Butxon- which are his three most popular books.  I LOVE HIM!**

Now I'm reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray.  It's more along the lines of a teen paranormal type of thing, which is what I tend to read.  I'm about 1/4 done and I'm really enjoying it!

I still have I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella to read on my Nook yet and some "real" books that I got for Christmas.  And, I only have a few pages to go in The Fault in our Stars by John Green (who is another favorite author) but I'm super afraid that someone I love in the book is going to die, so I can't make myself read it!  However, I would highly recommend anything by John Green.  I've read (and own!) all of his books and I LOOOOVE them!  Looking for Alaska is one of his best!

Question for everyone who has a Nook... if we can connect somehow on Facebook, can we "lend" each other books?

Last:

Something fun for St. Patty's Day.  Marygrove College has posted a free mini-St. Patrick's Day unit over at their blog.  It's for K-2 and is super cute.  Last year I ruined the lives of my 1st graders because a leprechaun didn't come to our classroom and destroy everything like he did in Kindergarten.  Well, last year was my first year with firsties and I didn't know that was one of my jobs for the year!  Yeah.  Their lives were totally over that day.  I don't plan to make the same mistake this year and this mini-unit from Marygrove is perfect for a sneaky leprechaun attack!

And... if you missed out on the giveaway, all of my items are still 15% off until Sunday!  :)

McTeacher Night and Giveaway CHANGE.

First up... McTeacher Night.  What's that, you ask?  Well, it was a way for the reading committee at my school to earn money for March is Reading Month activities.  From 4:30-7:00pm, teachers in my building greeted families, bussed tables, got drinks, and cleaned up at our local McDonald's and we will earn 20% of all money spent (not including at the drive-through) for that period of time.

It was seriously so much fun to see everyone come out!  And I got to wear a spiffy apron!  ;)  Ronald McDonald even came to my school today and did a "Books are our friends" assembly for Y5-2nd graders!  Now some of my 2nd graders are getting "too cool for school" now that they know they are almost in 3rd grade... so at first, they were a little leery about going to watch Ronald, but he did tricks and sang songs and told jokes and they were all amazed!

So, that was my fun day.

We did our first NWEA (MAP) test and it seemed to go well.  My class goes every day for the rest of the week to finish up.

And, last... giveaway change.  I'm thinking that keeping the giveaway open until Saturday is too long because I'm itching to choose the 15 winners!  So... please don't hate me, but I am going to choose them TOMORROW night instead.  I haven't changed the SALE-a-bration to my shop- that will go through the weekend like I promised!  And I just typed 'promixed'.  Time for this teacher to get off the computer!

If you haven't entered yet... go!  :)  Here's a link to the original post.

Sorry for the lame post tonight!  I just worked out and it kicked.  my.  butt.  And I'm soooo tired!  I am going to curl up with my Nook and read my next book!  I finished my first one yesterday and loooooved it.  I feel like such a jerk for being so anti-e-readers for so long!  (And if you missed that post, here it is!)

Anyway... that's it.  15 winners, you're coming tomorrow!
