And the Winner is...

First off, a BIG thank you to those who signed up for my first giveaway!!!!
You really encouraged me with your comments and just letting me you're here with me  ;)
so thank you!!!

1) Joan (as always for your continued love & support for what I do & love)
2) Stardusx (I will do a post soon on a book list I recommend for 3rd grade)
3) Atabanana29 (please tell your girls I said hi and I truly appreciate you ladies checking out my blog)

So what I did was put your names into a class list at www.classdojo.com
(which is a GREAT website for all teachers... it's basically a site where you can upload your class list and each student becomes an avatar or a cute little monster..)
then using the website, you can award students for positive behavior or take away points for negative behavior.. there is also a nifty RANDOM STUDENT button where the site will go through your class list and pick a student at random.

That is exactly what I did.. see first I created a brand new class list on my classdojo account and those who signed up for my giveaway became a cute little monster... as seen below...

Then I simply clicked on the "RANDOM" student button to pick a name at random and the winner is.....

So congratulations stardusx!!! 

Please comment below with an email I can reach you so I can get the books to you ASAP. 

Have a great week everyone and thanks again for participating in my first giveaway!

XOXO,

Ms. Kimpop

A Penny Goes a Long Way

Today I went to Michael's craft store with my good friend Christine.
Michael's is definitely one of my most favorite stores in the whole wide world.
I can spend HOURS in there.
I always like to check out the clearance section of stores like Michael's & Target because in the past, I've found some treasures there.

Today, in the clearance section of Michael's, I came across some Dr. Seuss letter papers (50 count to be exact pictured below).

I always like having a pack of these in the classroom in case I have to type of a letter to the parents or send home a notice!

Anyways, it was time to pay and I handed this pack over to the cashier and asked,
"Can I have a price check?" She scanned the pack and on the screen I saw, ".01" not sure why but I stood there waiting for a different price. I don't think I've EVER bought anything for $.01.
After the cashier said, "a penny" then it registered that this pack of paper was on clearance for A PENNY!
Right away I told her that I would take another one (one for me and one for my good friend Christine).
This completes the story of the BEST deal/bargain of my life.

So, have you ever bought anything for a penny?
