Win a Common Core Standards Pack!


This contest is now over, but check back to my blog regularly as new contests will be coming up. 

I just finished my First Grade Common Core Standards Pack and I'm celebrating my new blog and pack with a giveaway!  You can win a 174 page Common Core Standards Pack for your grade level.  (First grade is done and I'll be working on other grades over the next few weeks.)  I'll randomly choose a winner from the comments to this post the day after the day I reach 50 followers on the blog.  If we reach 50 followers on the blog by the end of January, I'll add in a choice of any product from my TeachersNotebook store (growing daily).  So follow closely.  Here's how to enter to win:

1. Follow this blog (and follow me anywhere else you'd like to including Facebook, Twitter and my TeachersNotebook store) and leave a comment below telling me you are now a follower.  You can leave a comment for each way you follow me.

2.  Share my contest/drawing on your blog or facebook or twitter and leave a comment with the link.  You can comment each time you share.

3.  You can leave 1 comment telling me what you think of my preview file that can be downloaded here.

      Sara,
      My district has really jumped into the common core and we've had several development days on it already. My team has also been working throughout the year to add and remove items to our scope and sequence. I think the student checklists in the pack will be really helpful in planning for and tracking student progress. I'm hoping to work on some assessments to correlate over the summer.
