Wow...Check out Pete & My First Sweepstakes!

Wow...Thanks Ms. Carroll for the shout out! I have to start by saying she is such a refreshing person and is always smiling! Not to mention an awesome teacher...you can imagine how exciting it is to get to witness her awesome teaching each day! So, some really awesome teacher friends of mine are over the moon about a lil' kitten named Pete!  They recently introduced him to me (where have I been???).  I am so in love with him now!  I bought myself a copy of all four books and then a great idea came...what if I had my first sweepstakes?? So I am going to have a sweepstakes starting! You will have a chance to receive a copy of all four of the Pete the Cat books(Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes, Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons & Pete the Cat Saves Christmas) and a cute little "stuffie" of Pete the Cat as well! 
Remember to leave your contact info (email) when you apply!  Thanks!

    I am glad she mentioned you, because I just bought your Thanksgiving unit! I was especially interested in the shape turkey and the thanksgiving word building. We just did something similiar with farm words and magnetic words and my kids loved it...so perfect timing. Thank you!
