"The Classroom Game Nook" Steps Out Onto The Big Stage!

I have been sitting on this little piece of news for quite some time and now I am SOOO excited to shout it out!  I was asked to write a guest blog post for the official Teachers Pay Teachers Blog!  They are the big dogs, and little ol' me is running with them!  Holy cow!  When they asked me to write for them I was stunned!  But now, it's live and ready for you to read!  I hope you enjoy!

Easy {& CHEAP!} Christmas Gifts for Your Students: FREEBIE ALERT!

Is Christmas really less than two weeks away???  Holy cow!  It's even harder to believe considering it was almost 70 degrees outside today here in Rochester, NY.  Unheard of here this time of year!

I'm sure by now your classrooms  are filled with all sorts of holiday crafts, books, and decor as you celebrate the season with your class.  Maybe you've even played a game or two for my holiday games collection.

I've got one more holiday tip for you!  Every year it can be such a pain deciding what to give your kiddos for Christmas that you won't just end up picking up off the floor when they leave for holiday break.  It can also be terribly annoying to think that your students may go a whole week or more and do nothing learning-related and come back to you with mush-brain!

Solution:  Take home math games!  Cheap, quick to assemble, and fun for the whole family over break!

With just one easy printout you have gifts for your entire class!

You can download a Christmas bag topper for FREE here!  Use it for any gift!

Put it all together and whatta you got?

Bippity-Boppity-CHRISTMAS!  You can see all the details here.

Here's a little free goodie exclusively for my readers!  Download the Christmas die to use for any games in your classroom this season:

If you like this idea, you may also like my "Take Home Science Experiments" that also work great as holiday (or anytime) gifts!
