A Giveaway! I love these things!!

I was recently given the opportunity to receive and review a really cool product! I received a whole bunch of pencil grips from The Pencil Grip.  Let me tell you, I loved them for my students with fine motor difficulties!  I even loved them for myself!  I passed them out to all of students and explained how to use them and what they were for, they loved them!

The Pencil Grip is a really great product.  It's a perfect size for kid hands and adult hands. It's latex free! It works for left handers and right handers!  It fits pens and pencils! And it comes in about a million colors!  My only complaint from my kiddos was that it was kind of tricky to move on and off or up and down when they needed to sharpen their pencil.

This kiddo had a crazy grip before and the grip helps him know exactly where his fingers should go!

Here's the super exciting part! I get to share the love with all of you! I get to giveaway TWO 12-packs of these pencil grips! Yay!  

How can you win a set?  Easy-peasy.

The ABC's of Special Education

Hi Everyone!

Master's Class are done again! Phew!!! I'll be starting practicum classes soon but that will be more hands- on, so I'm okay with that! I'm sure it will still be a lot of work but something a little different! As a part of my most recent class, we had to make a document that others in education would find useful!

I thought, what better to make than a cheat sheet for all of those pesky Special Education Acronyms!

Here it is!

It's a three page document and I decided to upload it to my TPT Store - you can grab it HERE.

Now that classes are done, I've got some fun stuff coming up!  I've got an awesome giveaway coming up and I'm going to teach all of you the way I document IEP goals.  I've finally found a good way!

I can't wait to visit all of the cool new blogs out there!!

February Freebie

Happy February!

January just flew by and I have a feeling February will do the same.  We have mid-winter break coming up.  This Friday is a teacher-work day and Monday is no school! Yay!

One of the favorite centers in my classroom is Roll N Color.  We do them ALL the TIME!  There is just something so exciting about rolling dice!  I've got a lovely Valentine's version! and it's FREE!

Go grab it at my TPT Store.

Hi Everyone!

Still alive! and I even made something new! How are all of you other there in blogging land??   I'm still super busy, two grad classes right now and everything else that life requires!  But I've been wanting to make a survival sign bingo game that we can use in my classroom and I finally finished it! Shocker!

You can find it on my TPT store: Ms. Rachel's TPT Store  OR be the first person to tell me how many days until catchers and pitchers report for MLB Spring Training and WHO my favorite team is and leave your email address and Ill send it to you!  (can you tell Im excited for baseball?).

December Currently...

It's been a few months since I linked up with Farley @ Oh Boy 4th Grade for Currently and Im happy and excited to be with it enough to do it this month! Make sure you go link up and join the party if you haven't yet! December is such a crazy busy month. There are holiday parties, book club, a wedding, field trips and all that kind of stuff!  I'm waiting for the snow here in Northern MI, not looking forward to it, just waiting.

As far as wanting goes, I think I want an iPad.  I have some in my classroom and my hubs has one so I don't know if I actually need it!  I am also interested in the Kindle Paperwhite, anyone have any experience with that?

Needing... I have no idea what to put on my Christmas list! eek! What's on yours?  I also need to finish a new Bingo game I'm working on for TPT.

RAK... I think we all have at least one of those kiddos who we know aren't going to have the Christmas' that we think they deserve, if I can make it a little bit better, I'd love to.
