EXTRA! EXTRA! It’s time to read all about it!
I’ve linked up with a team of 20 fun teacher-bloggers to celebrate the back to school season with you. You know I live for summer, but I’m getting that August itch so it’s time to start thinking about the new school year.
So what’s the scoop? For the next 10 days we’ll celebrate with freebies for everyone from each of us and a different prize every day. Yep, you heard me… a prize a day for 10 days! Just look at all this loot!
To keep it fun and exciting, you won’t know what prize you have entered to win until the winner is announced the next day! So how do you enter to win?
1. Hop through the linked blogs to collect your freebies. Inside each freebie, you’ll find a QR code with a secret money amount. You’ll need to add up all the money to enter the giveaways.
2. Visit our new collaborative blog, The Teaching Tribune, to enter to win starting on Monday the 22nd (that’s tomorrow!).
3. Check The Teaching Tribune each day for all 10 days to see if you won and enter to win the next prize while you’re there. Each prize will only be up for 1 day and you never know what you might be winning so be sure to enter them all!
To make collecting your secret money amounts easier, you can download and print the Hot Off the Press Cheat Sheet.

If you’re not familiar with QR codes, they look like this:
You can scan them with your smart phone to reveal the money amount for your cheat sheet. If you don’t have a smart phone, Christina over at Sugar and Spice wrote a great post on how to use the QR codes without one.
Now that all that’s out of the way, you are ready to get started! If this is your first stop, then you’re already at number #12 because I’m in the middle of the loop.

Go on… grab my freebie to collect my money amount.
Then zip off on your way to the next blog!

Thanks for the Word Work freebie! I appreciate the work that you guys do!
