Hello darlings! There are 11 days 'til Thanksgiving! I officially have 7 days of teaching left! How many days do you have left before Turkey Day?

I heard students saying things like, "Dracula isn't going to buy a Blood ... Read More about Falling for Math-Halloween Projects

Here you can see a close up of my classroom library. My library labels are FREE in my store. Need to cover some junk?
