Classroom Library Linky
I found a sassy new blog the other day(or rather she found me) and she is having a classroom library linky party! She created her own blog design and it is super cute! Type on over there and link up or say hi and welcome a new blogger on the block!
I just moved to a new room and it is UpSiDeDoWn!!! I'm going to link up using my last years classroom library photos. I'm sure this room will look similar with a few tweaks.
I have a book buying problem that I managed to tame down a bit last year. I find that I have too many books. Seems CrAzY to say that since I LOVE books but I think the kids and I both get overwhelmed with the organization and upkeep. I sorted out MANY of my books when I moved. I brought home the higher level book that I had used for my gifted 4th graders. I'm now committed 3rd grade for the foreseeable future.

Have You Checked This Out Before?
I stumbled on to Restaurant.com today. I've seen the site before but never made a purchase. I have co-workers who have tried it and suggested it to me.
Until the 13th of this month you can type in the
promo code SUN
when you check out for an extra 80% discount.
I just purchased 4 - $25 GC's for $2 a piece
total = $8!! I grabbed up GC's to a new restaurant in a nearby town.
Go on and type in your zip code to search for restaurants near you. If you live in the boonies like me you might have to widen the search range. The GC's are saved in your account and don't get removed until you actually use them at the restaurant. I've been told that they never expire. You will have to read up a little because I'm a novice.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes!!

Sunday Savings Linky!!
I'm starting up my Sunday Savings linky a day early this week. I know several of you have been thinking of linking up. So get on it!!
My scores include:
36 Oral B Toothbrushes!
I paid sales tax and I think .08 cents per coupon. So, each toothbrush cost me .15 cents!!
11 Bottles of KC Masterpiece BBQ Sauce
They cost me .50 cents each!
84 Boxes of Minute Maid Frozen Treats
These were .08 cents a box. (That is the fee to buy the coupon) I rang up for $$$0$$$ at the register. It was soooo cool!! You should have seen me! Please don't think I'm crazy!! I gave these away to family members. My dad and my mother n law ended up REALLY liking them and so I stocked up their freezers. They are yummy 100 cal treats.
I hit Meijers and left with
10 bags of Chex Mix
8 containers of Crystal Light
It was fun but very time consuming. Since I live out in the middle of the boonies it took me a while to do all the driving. It was worth it though.
I hope you can link up even if you save on a 2 liter!!

Top 10
1. I have three beautiful children and I would have more if my hubby would let me. :) Morgan who is seven and is so tall she looks eleven. Tyler who just turned six and is one wild red head! Sawyer who just turned four and thinks he is hilarious.
2. I'm married to my high school sweetheart. We graduated together in this little town of Manchester where we still live happily ever after. At least our version of happily ever after. :)
3. I work with the most awesome people ever! I'm fortunate to call my co-workers my friends. I don't know what I would do without them. They inspire, motivate, encourage, and stand by me always.
4. I teach 3rd grade. This will be my 2nd year. Previous to 3rd grade I taught 4th for four years. Previous to 4th grade I taught in a regional self contained classroom for the emotionally impaired. The 6 years I spent in that setting left me with a much different perspective on life and its possible realities.
5. I love being a teacher. I love to learn new things and I love to inspire the students in my classroom.
6. I'm a blogging addict!! I love to blog and it feeds right into my love of learning new things.
7. I've become a crazy couponer!! I love hitting the stores and scoring deals. I buy at least 6 papers a week and I map out the hits and then jump from store to store to grab up the good stuff. I have quite the stash in the basement all arranged nicely on the shelves my hubby put up for me. I have to admit I shouldn't stock up on any more junk food. hehe!
8. My children commute and go to my school with me. We drive 35min. every day to school. I love being with them and I love to hear them chit chat about their day or sing to the radio. Yes, they fight and complain and nag at each other too. This coming year will be their last year at my school and they will switch over to our hometown. I'm going to miss them something terrible!! But, I will get some alone time and I will be able to hit the grocery without three kids in tow. Yikes!
9. I'm afraid of water and I can't swim. Lakes freak me out but I do manage to get in occasionally for the kids sake. I think I could actually swim but I get panic attacks so that would be the true issue.

Money Savings Alert!! :)
Now you ladies know I love me a goooood DEAL! This week you can all run out and get free toothbrushes!!
CVS - 3.00 Minus 1.00 Extrabucks (ECB)
Minus 2.00 coupon from yesterdays paper
= FREE
There is a limit to TWO per household at CVS
Extrabucks (ECB) are printed out after the transaction. They act as money/GC toward your next purchase. So, If you bought two toothbrushes and got two ECB you could then go in later or the next day or in ten minutes and buy two 1.00 gums using your ECB and they would be free.
Walgreens - 2.99 Minus $1 Register Reward (RR)
Minus $2/1 coupon from yesterdays paper
=FREE
Register Rewards work much like CVS's ECB but Walgreens will only print 1 RR per transaction. So if you want to get multiple toothbrushes here you must do several transactions or walk in with the family. :)
I believe Rite Aid has them too but I don't shop there very often and I'm not exactly sure how their system works.
I always buy 6ish papers each week so I'm all set on coupons. But, if you are thinking darn it I didn't get the paper and my family of 10 could really use toothbrushes. hehe You could check out this cool site which sells coupons. She is fast and I have never had a problem.
I know it seems weird to buy a coupon but the coupon costs .20 cents and shipping is very reasonable. It is like paying .25 cents for the toothbrushes. You have to spend 5.00 for her to ship so you would want to look around the site and search for other things you might like that you know are on sale. I usually look at the ads right away on Sun. and if I need to order anything I place an order on Sun. night. That way my stuff gets shipped out right away on Mon. I usually get my coupons by Wed. / Thurs. That leaves me plenty of time to hit the sales before they end on Sat.
If you still think it is weird then consider my Minute Maid frozen treats hit!! I bought 44 boxes of the frozen treats from Kroger for free (or the small fee it took to order them. Wow minimal) My dad liked them so much I ordered more coupons from Dede and we are getting them before the sale ends on the 10th.
So, if you want to stock up for your family or your treasure chest at school then jump on the Oral-B Sale!!

Oh, what the heck!! How about this one too!? I use this sheet during D5. The kids go off to do read to self and they can collect their thinking on this sheet and keep track of what page they found the information on. When they come back to share, their thoughts are organized and ready. I can look these over to get an idea of their ability to grasp whatever concept we are working on. BK Construction
