WINNERS of the Valentine's Day Giveaway!!!

Ok!  Hopefully you'll still have time to get some stuff printed & ready to use for tomorrow!  I honestly love making Valentine's Day activities last all throughout the week here and there, haha!

Here were the numbers generated from Random.org!

There were 23 people who entered all together and these were the numbers that came up!  Now I know I said I was only going to do 3 winners BUT y'all won't care if I throw an extra winner in there, right?  I just laughed because Sandra from Sweet Times in First was the winner of my last contest and she was joking about how she couldn't be lucky enough to win another one!  BUT SHE DID!  Hahaha she was number 12!  So I was like well I'll let her win still but I'll add another winner on to help out the rest of the entries!  Haha!

So here are my winners!

Kelly B aka Queen Bee!

Sandra from Sweet Times in First

The Polka Dot Owl

**Katherine from Third Grade Teacher Files

I have emailed you the literacy pack!  Please respond back and let me know one of the Valentine's Day clip art sets you would like!

**KATHERINE!  I need your email address!  I tried to find it on your blog but I didn't see it!  My email is mrslaurenthompson@gmail.com  you can either email me first or just comment below!**

Thanks to EVERYONE who entered!  I will definitely host more giveaways in the future!  Perhaps a Dr. Seuss one (hint hint...I'm working on some clip art for that!) and a St. Patrick's Day giveaway!

I would love to hear any recommendations that you have!  :)

NEW Valentine's Day Math Fun Pack♥

I was so inspired by my friend Meagan after she made the most ADORABLE Valentine's Day Literacy Pack (see the previous post to check out our giveaway!).  So I decided to make a Valentine's Day Math Pack!!!  :)

I think it turned out pretty cute!  I included a WIDE variety of math concepts because not every single teacher out there is covering the same things that we are right now!  We are in the middle of place value, but here is the low-down on what is included:


{1} Place Value Matching Game
{2} Place Value I Have, Who Has? Game
{3} Time to the Hour & Half Hour Matching Game
{4} Subtraction Facts Coloring Page
{5} Heart Addition Sort Game
{6} Bump Addition Game
{7} Number Order Sequence Game
{8} Odd & Even Connect Four Game
{9} Fact Family Card Game
{10} Money Matching Game

Each activity includes a record sheet for students to write their answers on.

Each activity is also included in both COLOR and LINE ART forms to make your printing options easier!

There are 50 pages total!  Phew...I am really glad I'm done working on it.  I was going crazy after looking at so many pink & red hearts, stripes, & polka dots!!!  Ahhh!

Well it's available at my TPT store for $5.50!  Buy it now so you can print it all out on cardstock OR get it ready to laminate on Monday before Valentine's Day!  :)

Thanks friends!
