There have been so many linky parties going around that it almost feels like summer to me! I love having this extra time to blog, blog hop, and basically snoop around in bloggy world!
I have gotten SO many more great ideas for 2013 goals from everyone who has already participated in my Resolution Solution Linky Party that I've decided to set even MORE goals! I'm linking up with Michelle at Making it as a Middle School Teacher for her 13 in 2013 Linky!
So, here are my additional goals for the new year!
They're pretty self-explanatory, but here's a little more...
I read Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn at the beach this summer and loved it! If you read thrillers, I highly recommend it AND it was just announced that Reese Witherspoon is going to produce and star in the movie version! Woot! Well, last week I read one of her other two books, Sharp Objects. It was good, too....a little darker, but I like those thrillers! So, her third book is also on my reading list...already downloaded on my Kindle - just have to find the time to read it now that it's time to get back into the grind!
Most of my professional goals have do do with Whole Brain Teaching. I have loved EVERY aspect that I've implemented this year, so I just want to continue with this journey!
My classroom "must-have" is whiteboard paint. I saw it at Lowe's this summer and thought "brilliant" - I think I may want to paint my tables in my room with it! I know the kids can write directly on the tables with markers, but our tables are a bit dark and I'd like to give this a try! This kind of ties in with desk nametags...I'm not sure why I'm still using these. I've thought all along that just writing names directly to the desks is brilliant...just gotta do it!
This is a short post since the hubby is almost home and we're going to settle in for some college football, but I wanted to do a quick giveaway...related to football!
The Super Bowl is coming up and I LOVE setting aside one day to do football-themed activities - the boys eat this up and it's filled with fun, educational activities, too!
I'm giving TWO FOLLOWERS a chance to win the SUPERBOWL UNIT from Teacher's Clubhouse!!
To enter, you just need to do the following three things....
1. Follow my blog (hopefully you already do!)
2. Follow the Teacher's Clubhouse TpT shop
3. Guess my husband's favorite NFL team and/or my favorite NFL team
The first person to guess my husband's team wins the unit (his is super easy!) The first person to guess my favorite NFL team wins the unit (mine is tougher since it changes quite often depending on the players). Be sure to specify whose favorite team you think it is - you can take a guess on both!
Just leave a comment with your guesses!! GOOD LUCK!!
You can preview the Super Bowl Unit by clicking here. It contains 14 different activities to celebrate the Super Bowl across the curriculum!
*****UPDATE*****It's CURRENTLY TIME with Farley from Oh Boy, 4th Grade!

ReplyDeleteI'm guessing your husbands is the Panthers just based off where you live.
And I'm guessing yours is the Broncos because of Peyton Manning.

Congrats, Lisa!! They hubs loves his Falcons! He hates the Panthers because since they've come along they have knocked the Falcons off the TV in our area many times! We'll get your free unit sent to you soon!
ReplyDeleteNo one has guessed mine correctly so there's still a free unit up for grabs! :)
hmmm... I'm gonna go with the Packers?
ReplyDeleteI will guess the Patriots because of Tom Brady:)
ReplyDeletermariemuniz@hotmail.com
Thanks for linking up I'm guessing the saints... Who doesn't love drew brees??? Well maybe your hubby doesn't lol!!!
ReplyDeleteNo winners yet, but you are on the right track! I do choose my players by cuteness! :) haha My favorite players are not well-known...I've followed them since college. This NFL team has a player from each of my two favorite college teams...it'll be tough one to get!
ReplyDeleteI would guess yours will be the Seattle Seahawks just because I am from Seattle.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have been reading so many books but have not ready Gone Girl. I love reading romance novels, such as, Bared to You or Fifty Shades of Grey. Might just have to purchase Gone Girl and read it.

I was going to guess Chicago Bears too. I know one of your college boys plays on that team but I am thinking another one plays for Titans as well. So my guess will be Tennessee Titans, which is my husbands favorite team!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family!

ReplyDeleteI'll guess the Bengals.
ReplyDeletemrsamynovellino@gmail.com
My guess is the Steelers.
ReplyDeletelraines78@gmail.com
I just wrote you the epistle of football to you and then it didn't publish for some reason. So rather than rewrite a list of football teams with cute players...I am going with the Colts.
ReplyDeleteTHYordan@aol.com
I am going to guess the Saints.
ReplyDeletejenm6@verizon.net
I love the font on your currently and the glow effect. How did you do that? Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCovered in Glitter and Glue
No clue about your favorite team. Before I left my classroom for Christmas break, I got rid of all my students' name tags! I can't wait to go back to write their names right on all the desks! I love the idea of whiteboard paint!
ReplyDeleteMarissa
