THE CONTEST
Last week, I celebrated my 200th post and offered to give away some swag. If you haven’t read the comments on “What’s in a Name?”, I encourage you to do so. My readers are hilarious. Just skip what I wrote. Seriously, the comments are where it’s at.
THE WINNERS
I was originally going to ask my Grade 8 students to generate five random numbers between 1-142, but sixteen years of teaching teens told me that this could be a classroom management fiasco. So I used Random Number Generator.
Here are the winners:
Prize 1, Spark Story Starters, a set of the most amazing kids cards, goes to Comment #44, Chase McFadden of Some Species Eat Their Young.
Prize 2, Froggy in My Throaty fun book/CD goes to Comment #27: Kristen Herdy at Messiah Mom.
Prize 3, Mango Wood Vase from Thailand goes to Comment #115: Deborah Bryan at The Monster in Your Closet.
Prize 4, Miniature Handmade Cards from Thailand go to Comment #119 Annie from Six Ring Circus.
Prize 5, a Guest Post on my site or on her site goes to Comment #105: Renée Schuls-Jacobson from Lessons from Teachers and Twits.
