As you know I have a TPT store, it is one of the side shows at the Circus called "Labby's Lounge" I am wanting to have a group of educators who will be my VIP Grandstand ticket holders here. This will give you my reader (if chosen) a chance to try out my product for free in your classroom. Like I have said in the past I used these in computer labs, but I am wanting to branch out!! Sound

As you know I worked in Computer Labs for 9 years, and over those years I collected ALOT of websites to use with K-3rd grades.  I would put into folders as needed this picture shows the "holding" folder of ones that I changed out depending on the theme/topic each class was doing ..... This shows how many times my links were used I've decided to share them via a TPT store.

At the beginning of this school year back in August, there so many changes. New boss, new class room, new duties. 2 weeks in I caught a cold, and my health finally hit rock bottom. (every school break last school year saw my mom (whom I am sole caregiver of) run into major medical issues) So I was not surprised that this all hit. Soon it turned into something else and I have been fighting it
