950 Followers? {Giveaway}
I’m coming up on my one year mark for blogging soon and I can’t believe how much I have grown as a result of this adventure. I’ve learned so much by reading other blogs and getting to “chat” with so many other bloggers that I really can’t imagine teaching without this resource. So much has changed in so little time, really.
I had reached a “slump” in my career. I had gotten comfortable. Nothing new. Then, wham! Blogging entered and I got a new jolt shot into my teaching soul. I’m serious. I’m sure I am not alone. In fact, I know I am not alone because several of you have shared with me that you feel the same.
I can’t believe that when I say “you” that that number has escalated to 950! 950 followers, really?
As a way of saying “thanks”, I’m having a giveaway. Guess what’s up for grabs?
Yes, that happy little laminator that I told you about last week. See that cute flower on the top? That’s a decal that came with the laminator. Cute, huh?
Enter for your chance to win! The giveaway ends at 12:01 am next Thursday (October 8th)! Good luck!
Before you leave…here are the winners of the task cards from yesterday:
Suzy Q, Caitlyn D., and Dee B.! Congrats, ladies. You know me well…my favorite singer is:
I’ll be emailing you your copy in a second.
Now, for real…..ready, set, go!

For Halloween, we are having a school-wide Halloween party with games and activities! I am excited 🙂
For Halloween we are having a community night at our school to provide a safe place for our kids to go Trick or Treating.Courtney3rd Grade Sprinklescourtneyice1@gmail.com
Our school isn't big on celebrating Halloween but I will be taking the kiddos out for tricks and treats. My 3 year old daughter wants to be a super hero so her 5 mos. old brother got stuck with being a criminal. Good times.
Our community has early trick or treating followed by a costume parade and bonfire at the park. We don't do anything at school, but some years have hat day as a fundraiser for charity.
I will be taking my children to the Trunk and Treat at our church. No costumes.
I get to have Halloween with my a.m. class and my p.m. class. After that I will go home to hand out candy and make sure my black cats don't get out of the house! :)Great giveaway!thank you,aaparsons@hotmail.com
My plans for Halloween are packing my house up to prep for moving & passing out candy to the little ones and then leave for North Carolina to see boyfriend graduate his tech school for the Coast Guard! Woohoo! Thanks for the giveaway :)SaraMiss V's Busy Beesventrellasara@gmail.com
I will be participating with my church's teen group as we host a Trunk or Treat with games, a bouncy house and smores!
Congrats on your followers! I need a jolt too. That is why I'm leaving my old school, yes now in October and starting a new adventure in another district. Thanks for the opportunity to win such an adorable laminator!!
Congrats on all your followers! I'm loving your blog! As of now, I have no plans for Halloween night.
Congrats on 950 followers! I will be passing out candy this Halloween.lraines78@gmail.com
Kudos to you on 950 followers! WOW!I haven't laminated anything in so long that I don't know what I would actually laminate. Maybe my hair so I don't have to fix it each morning? :)Shannonhttp://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com
Congrats on 950 followers! That is great! My Halloween plans are to just give out candy to the sweet trick or treaters! kellybrown28021@gmail.com
950 followers!! Way to go!!! My Halloween plans are to answer the door at Mom's house since she turns on her light, but really doesn't like to answer the door. Go figure….she's fickle!!! Congrats!
Congrats on 950 followers…….I'm a big fan and follower of yours! I dress up on Halloween – make my husband and the fur babies dress up as well – and then we have fun answering the door for the neighborhood kiddos……love Halloween!Siobhansconnor@midlakes.org

In school for Halloween we always have a fun rotation of games and making something edible. Personally, my good friend has a birthday and on Halloween and wehave a big party and all the grown ups dress up! We have a pot luck and have a blast!

Congrats!! We hope to be there soon! We just hit the 100 mark! My plans for Halloween are to hang out at our neighborhood party (always a blast for parents and kids) and then pass candy out while my kids are trick or treating with their Daddy. Juliwww.simpleinsecond.blogspot.com
Wow- congrats on 950!My husband and I met at a Halloween party for his improv club, so we are going back to their party with some friends from out of town and dressing as characters from the Wizard of Oz. I should probably get to finding my costume…JennyLuckeyfrog's Lilypad
It's hard this year with my own children. They are all teenagers this year. At least I get to celebrate with my firsties! We will have a small celebration in the classroom. Then all the seniors from the high school come over to parade around. The kiddos LOVE it! This year my oldest will be in that group. Sniff! Sniff!❀Beth Ann❀Taming My Flock of Firstiesbakteach16@gmail.com
We have a very social neighborhood so we will be taking the kids out and passing candy out to all of the little ones. I love to decorate for this holiday so my house has been transformed into a spooky graveyard.
My second grade team and I are dressing up as superheroes! We are pretty stoked about that!! 🙂
I think my Scotch laminator is about to go out so I would love this! My plans for Halloween are to take my little one trick or treating! She will be the prettiest Cinderella ever!
I have class for my masters!:(
My 3 year old and I have dentist appointments before we go Trick-or-Treating : ) How funny is that??! Congrats on the followers!Young Daze in 5th Grade
I would love to win! Congrats on all of the followers too 🙂 I have zero plans for Halloween. Hubby can be a bit of a grinch about the holiday.
My plans for Halloween is to sleep! I have parent teacher conferences the next day. Mcrump1988@yahoo.com
Wearing my Olivia the Pig (no snout though) costume and having fun with my class!Thanks for the fun giveaway.KatieI Want to be a Super Teacher
My plans are to have a school party and then relax at home with cute trick or treaters coming to my door!!Boudls89@Yahoo.comAwesome giveaway!!
Not sure what we are doing yet but trick or treating will be involved. 🙂
Way to go on 950 followers!!! This all so new to me. I always spend time with my family on Halloween. We have a weenie roast and take the children trick-or-treating. Great time of year to spend with family! Just LOVE the excitment in the kids when they see all the candy!
Congrats on your blog success!!! Well, for Halloween my family goes to the local pumpkin patch. We enjoy all the fun rides and great food. We let our 5 y/o son choose pumpkins for each of us. Then we take them home and he decorates all of them. This will be our daughter's first Halloween, so we get to add one more pumpkin!
Congratulations on all of your blog success. I'm still contemplating beginning a blog, but I'm loving stalking and looking for new ideas. Thanks for sharing your ideas and successes. My Halloween plans include carving pumpkins with my kids. Even as grown kids (23, 21, & 15), they still love to carve pumpkins. We will probably bake a sweet treat to enjoy, and then answer the door for the little kids that Trick-or-Treat in our neighborhood. We love this holiday at our house!
We will build a fire in the pit and sit and enjoy the trick or treaters, oh and we will torture the dogs by dressing them up.H Whitehawhite@henrico.k12.va.us
In school we have an orange day in class and have rotations using Halloween themed books.At home, my daughter has her friends over (they are seniors this year…) and I make spooky food while they watch scary movies.faithfulinfirst.blogspot.com

I hope that it's warm enough so that my girls can wear their costumes without layering!DianeFifth in the Middle

Wow, 950? We always do Trunk or Treat at our church, which is always fun. Since this is our son's first Halloween, we've been planning out his costume. My hubby won, and he's going to be the Stay Puft marshmellow man. I ordered a chef hat this weekend to start creating the costume.Thanks for the giveaway!Don't Let The Teacher Stay Up Late
I hate dressing up for Halloween, I'm just not creative enough to have a great costume. Thanks to your creativity, my students still get to make cool stuff. Keep up the great work. We're going to begin making our multiplication lapbooks this week.
We are actually going to a concert on Halloween night… not a Halloween-themed concert or anything – not really sure why it was scheduled for that evening, but I am beyond excited about going.
The annual PTO Halloween carnival. That's where I've spent the last 9 Halloween's. It's fun and a safe place for all the kiddos to come hang out in our very rural community. Then we Trunk or Treat afterwards 🙂
I always dress up to answer the door because a lot of students from my school live in the neighborhood. It's always fun to see if they figure out that they know me. This year I am thinking about being the Travelocity Roaming Gnome. (I have one that travels around the house with the help of mischevious family members!)
My plans for Halloween are to dress my little ones up, take them to a few places to trick-or-treat, then come home and relax. I'm not fond of Halloween, but I am trying to teach my little ones that not everything scary is real. (emmakt07@gmail.com)
We have a big parade with all the kids wearing their costumes. It is so much fun. All the parents come to watch and take pictures!
Congrats on your 950 followers! I have considered blogging, but I am not sure anyone would be interested in what I have to say!
I have a halloween party and for work I bough pin the nose on the pumpkin.. yes we are adults in my room, but you gotta have a little fun.
Congratulations on all of your followers! I just started following your site but love it already! I live in the country so I don't expect any trick or treaters and I don't have any plans for Halloween yet.
