Just a Reminder:

Give-a-ways every Friday between now and Christmas. Email me or send a comment, as to why Reading Rocks Santa should deliver to you a Classroom Kit, Magnetic Literacy Game Pack, or Bundled Workbooks. One will be chosen weekly... okay maybe two. Blog@ReadingReallyRocks.com.

Also, I am running a Bundle-Up for Christmas Sale on our curriculum. These are absolutely our lowest prices of the year.

Here's to hoping that your Principals are feeling the Christmas Spirit!

Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

Second Friday Give-A-Way

This week Ms. Trujillo a Teacher of young children with Autism at Dayton Heights Elementary School will be the recipient a Reading Rocks Classroom Instructional Kit.  From her ingenuity of creating her own materials, to her obvious passion for what she does, were just two of the reasons she was chosen.  Also to Ms. Blair at LifeSkills Academy, sometimes wishes do come true.  Yes, I have a nearly complete series two that I will award to you with endless printable children’s workbooks.  And thank you Wendy for very kind and motivating words.
For those of you, who were not awarded this week, please check back next Friday. The elves are feeling very generous. To all teachers who have been awarded please respond with an accurate shipping address. As always, spread the good news and cheer to all your peers. It’s bound to get you something good.  Many thanks and of course,
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Give-A-Way

When I first considered having this Christmas Time Friday Give-A-Way, the sheer thought of ‘giving’ brought me great joy.  I just imagined how happy the recipients would feel! How wonderful it would be to deliver this Christmas joy.  And it is. It is wonderful.
But it also bitter sweet. As I read these emails I am reminded that so many of our teachers  who are working diligently everyday for our children are desperate for the materials that they need to have their children find success.  And I wonder, does that guy over at IBM have to bring his own ream of paper into the office?  I think not.
It’s just nuts.
So to that end, I was just going to give one large item each week, but now I see: that simply won’t do. This week, I have two winners. But I would like to say that if you did not win, I will hold your email for a chance at next week’s pick. There were several truly needy teachers, that are deserving, so please check next Friday.  Also remember to spread the word! As this is my very favorite time of year, and teachers are my very favorite people. Today we have a winner from California and one from Upstate NY.
A Reading Rocks Curriculum Kit is awarded to Ms. Rothfeld -LAUSD
Reading Rocks Magnetic Literacy Games awarded to Ms. Berndt – BOCES
Merry Christmas!
