Blogiversary & Birthday Giveaway!


Hey everyone!  Just a few weeks ago was my one year mark of having my blog.  I cannot believe a year has already gone by.  I have learned an incredible amount in this past year from you all and made a lot of bloggy friends!!  My birthday was also a few days ago ( we will skip that number!) and I want to celebrate with everyone!!!

I want to share with you in celebration, so I am giving away a comb binder!  I have one of these myself and let me tell you they are GREAT!  So, so handy to have one of your own.

The binder is from My Binding at mybinding.com and is so easy to use!  Slide your paper in, push down on that lever and done!  When you are ready to put on the comb, the machine has a lock to hold it in place.  Couldn't get much easier than that!  
You really should check out My Binding.  I just got a laminator and cannot wait to start using it.  :)

These are just some of the ways I have used my binder in my classroom:  student personal dictionaries, reading journals, class made books, letter identification cards, kindergarten assessment binder, etc.... There are thousands of ways and reasons to use it!

Now, what are you waiting for?  Enter to win this great binder and leave me a comment about an idea of how you would use a binder!  I love getting new ideas!  :)

  9. I'd LOVE to win, but as I'm in the UK, I guess postage would be difficult if I did. . :-(

    I'm going to join in anyway just to sign up to your shop etc (I already follow) - if I'm the lucky winner perhaps you could redraw.

    Happy birthday!

  12. As a substitute, I have made binders with laminated math and Language arts games for various grade levels. Since all of the games are for at least 2 players I only need half a class set. I'd love to have my own machine.
