Fall is upon us and that means it's time for some Teaching Trick & Treating!



That's right - I have teamed up with my Freebielicious friends again to share some 
teaching tricks and special free treats for you!  

Here is a fun trick for you to do:
Do you want to be able to quickly scan your pile of homework in the morning to see who still needs to hand it in or who forgot it at home?  Well, a wonderful teacher in my district shared this fabulous and easy trick with me and I LOVE IT.  All you do is have a basket with wooden clothes pins  clipped along the sides of it.   Each clothes pin has a number on it.  Every child is assigned a number and when they come in to class in the morning, they take their clothes pin clip it to the top of their homework and put their homework in the bin!  How great is that?  I can quickly see who has handed in their work and who has not.  
Thank you so much Karla Teoli for sharing this time saving tip with me!  




Now for your treat!

This freebie will help your little ones review their numbers to 10.  Who doesn't love football?  So let them cheer and match the numbers to tally marks, dice, ten frames and fingers.  It is a great game to play in a pocket chart, or a matching game or even play WAR with it.  The possibilities are endless and waiting for you and your class to have fun with it.  
Enjoy!




Hop along to the next Freebielicious friend to see what their Trick & Treat is!

Custom T-Shirt Mega GIVEAWAY from Freebielicious

                                            
Every once in a while,  the girls at Freebielicious discover a really awesome product for classroom teachers that is so amazing, we just have to share it with you! Today is one of those days! Get ready because we are hosting a super cute giveaway for custom classroom t-shirts from ClassroomFaces.com. We will be giving away a class set* of custom t-shirts to THREE lucky Freebielicious fans! Isn't that amazing? 

                                              
These are NOT your average t-shirt designs. The people at ClassroomFaces are so creative, they found a way to print a collection of drawings from every child in the class on the set of t-shirts, to create a truly custom design! Nobody else in the world will ever have a t-shirt exactly like the one your class designs. The website may be called "Classroom Faces" but there are SO many more options for children to draw than just their face. Sample designs on the website show creative ideas using student handprints or drawings of the school mascot.


Since the Freebielicious girls are such good friends, we designed our very own set of Classroom Faces t-shirts. We enlisted the help of our talented friend (and fellow Freebie gal) Nikki from Melonheadz to create custom drawings of each of our faces. The finished t-shirts were absolutely ADORABLE! I absolutely love my new custom Freebielicious t-shirt from Classroom Faces.com.



About Classroom Faces

Creating a class set of t-shirts featuring your students drawings is easy. Each child just needs to create a simple drawing. To create t-shirts with one-color ink on a solid colored t-shirt (like ours) each child needs to draw their picture using a fine point black marker. The ClassroomFaces website has downloadable templates that you can use to guide your students. Full-color illustrations on a plain white t-shirt are also possible. Look how cute these t-shirts are! 


Extra Savings for Freebielicious Fans

Freebielicious fans that order a class set of tshirts can save $1 on each tshirt and receive 1 free teacher tshirt with their order using promo code FREEBIE14. Orders must include 15 or more paid shirts to qualify and must be postmarked by December 31, 2014
