Back to School Giveaway

So I am so excited that I reached 1,000+ Facebook followers! What a wonderful achievement, and if you asked me a year ago, I could not even imagine the success and love I have gotten from all of you... my teacher friends and products have helped me become a better teacher and I can't thank you all enough!!
I am celebrating this giveaway with a $20 gift card to Target and my Teacher Guide Unit :] This is perfect for any teacher for organization (labels, contact sheets, schedule printables, lists, and notes!)

I know we are all on a back to school budget, but $20 can go a long way! Especially at my favorite... The Dollar Spot ;)
 

Thank you to ALL of you for everything... Giveaway ends 8/9/13. Please enter this giveaway using the Rafflecopter below... come back for more entries each day if you share on your facebook, blog, or pinterest!

    My first stop is always the Dollar Bins-probably won't last past those! IF by chance, I didn't spend the entire $ there, I would head on over to School Supplies to see what neat pens/markers/paper I could find to put in my writing center. In my heart, I know I will spend it all at the Dollar Bins-not a difficult task at all!

    I would spend my $20 in the Dollar Spot.
