Blog Mixer Party

Yearn to Learn is having a Blog Mixer Party.  I love learning about new blogs! Here's a few of my favs:

1.  "New Kid on the Blog": My friend Mrs. Williams at Mrs. Williams' Whiz Kidz is learning this classroom blog world with me! Check out her blog!

2.  A blogger on my grade level: The First Grade Parade! I have gotten sooooo many awesome ideas from Mrs. Carroll's blog! She is really generous to give away so many freebies too!

3.  A blogger in a different grade level: Mrs. Larremore at Chalk Talk! I am lucky enough to work in the same district with her and she is a FABULOUS resource! She is amazing to work with and always has tons of great ideas!

4.  It's all about the button: I just found Castles and Crayons this week! It's super cute, and I have really enjoyed her posts this week on the Daily 5!


That was fun, but hard! There are so many great blogs out there that have inspired me and taught me so much!  Hope to be able to share things soon!

Book Lover

Learning with Mrs. Parker is having a linky party for fall read alouds!  I have several that I read every year that have been around awhile... oldies, but goodies if you will. ;-)

I am also interested in implementing the bucket fillers concept in my room this year.  I plan to read the books as well when introducing!

AND... I learned of a new book this week! I had never heard of the Pete the Cat books!  Mrs. Larremore at Chalk Talk is having a giveaway to celebrate 1000 followers and is giving away Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes and Deanna Jump is adding her Pete the Cat unit! Awesome!  Go check it out! I can't wait to add these books to my library and read this one the first week!
