{I used the random number generator to choose 3 winners: Sandra, Marlana, and Kristen check your email! Also, thanks to everyone who gave feedback for a Valentine's exchange. We are planning it right now and will let you know when all of the details are worked out! Can't wait to do it again!}
Before break, I posted a new pack in my TpT store but I don't think I ever told anyone about it! Crazy, I know. It's just a wonderful Wintry Mix of Math Fun! You'll have to check it out; several winter themed math activities that are perfect for a K-2 classroom. Especially since I'm having a 20% off sale from now until January 1st!
A few of you party people have requested more gift exchanges. Mrs. Miner from Mrs. Miner's Monkey Business suggested a Valentine's exchange and the sweet girl even offered to help Sarah and me! And if you guys are up for it, I'm up for it! I never miss a party, because I keep them going constantly...
I would love your thoughts on a few things:
-Do you just want one partner or would you want to send a homemade valentine to a group of grade level partners? How many people would you be willing to send a card to?
-Do you want to do just cards or a gift along with it? {In which case, you would only be assigned one partner.}
-Would you like to involve your class in the project and exchange valentines with a fellow blogger's class?
-Other suggestions?
I'll hang on your every word and do my absolute best to make it something everyone totally hearts. {Get it? Hearts? Valentine's Day? Yeah, I'm cheesy. What of it?}
There are a hojillion linky parties out there that I'm itching to participate in. So I'll be back tomorrow with something brilliant to say, for sure. But in the meantime, I'm in a giving mood... I will give away 3 copies of my new Wintry Mix of Math Fun unit! All you have to do is comment on this post about something {make sure you leave your email in the comments}! The giveaway will end at 9am on Saturday, December 31st and I will use a random number generator to select 3 winners.
I would be totally interested in participating in this one!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy vote is one partner...
Exchanging valentines {in addition to a cute little gift for the teachers} would be nice.
Since I didn't participate in the Holly Bloggy Christmas {although each time I saw somebody post about it I thought somebody might be giving me a shout out and it got my hopes up each and every time...HA!} I am wondering if you set a price limit?
Thanks bunches!!!!!

ReplyDeleteA Wintry Mix of Math Fun looks awesome! I need to get back into school mode...but we've been having too much fun! :)

A class exchange would be fun, but I don't have a regular class so it wouldn't work for me!
ReplyDeleteamylynnmarshall@aol.com
I wanna win it! I definitely think the limit should be less...like $10. :)

I would totally participate! I was going to vote for a class exchange, but then I saw Amy's post above & was reminded that some don't have "homerooms"!
ReplyDeleteSo let's be honest, I'd participate in whatever you decide!

I would love to join in. I am also interested in a gingerbread man exchange and was thinking about it for next year. I have never done anything like this before so I actually came here to ask you and saw this post. Let me know what I can do to help out. Laral AKA Little Miss Kindergarten
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of being paired up with another blogger's class that is near the same age to trade Valentine's Day cards. I am game for a partner myself too!

I like the idea of a gift exchange just like the Christmas one, but I also really like the idea of having your whole class participate in something. I think it would be so neat to see the different types of classes out there and what different teachers come up with!
ReplyDeletePS I LOVED New Year's Eve!! :) I saw it in the theater twice!! lol
SOunds like you've been busy!!
ReplyDeleteI am good with any kind of exchange! =)

I would be up for anything as well. But I love the idea of exchanging valentines with another class. We don't get to have a valentine's day party this year so it would be something fun for the kids. What if you gave people the choice between doing just a teacher exchange or both teacher exchange and class valentine's? I'm not sure if that would be more work for the organizers.
ReplyDeleteYour unit looks so adorable! :o)

I loved participating in the Christmas exchange. I had a blast creating my partner's gift and getting a gift in return. I think a Valentine exchange would be great. I don't have a class of my own but I do borrow one occasionally that I am sure would love to participate. I also like the idea of getting a partner for another gift exchange.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed the Christmas exchange! Come check out my new book blog.

A v-day teacher exchange sounds like fun. I missed the first one.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Class exchange sounds fun to me! Maybe everyone who wants to participate could donate one free teacher created acvitity and the teachers could get a file of the activities. That way the kids would get something and so would we!
ReplyDeleteIf you need any help with anything please let me know! You did an awesome job with the Holly Bloggy giveaway!! Thanks again for that!
Thanks for the freebie! I especially love the Doubles Mitten Match! Too cute!
