Christmas Shopping, Ebates and a Thanksgiving FREEBIE!

I've already started Christmas shopping- I actually got all of the the gifts for my daughter's teachers several weeks ago. They are wrapped and ready to go!  I wanted to get a jump on it this year because last Christmas seemed to sneak up on me.  There is something about living in south Florida, when it's 80+ degrees in December, that makes Christmas sneak up on you.  It just doesn't feel like Christmas.  But I'm not complaining!  I HATE to be cold. I live in the right place for sure!  Today will be perfect:

That's my idea of cooler weather :)

Anyway....I'm going to post about Ebates again.  Yes, this isn't my first Ebates post. I just LOVE Ebates - especially this time of year because I do most of my Christmas shopping online and there is just NO REASON not to use Ebates when shopping online.  Here is how much I have in my Ebates account right now:

Can't wait to get that check in February!!!!  I'm not done Christmas shopping yet, so I know more will be added to it. Seriously, there is NO cost or disadvantage to signing up for Ebates, they get a percentage from promoting the store you shop at and they give you a cut of that percentage.  It's a win-win.

Next, I have a little Thanksgiving Freebie.  I made one of these for Halloween, so I thought I'd make one for Thanksgiving too:

Click on the picture to download.  This includes an answer key too!

Just use a hand lens (magnifying glass) and search for the tiny sight words hidden in the picture.  Students will write the hidden word next to it's number.  And, if I'm sure I won't be getting a walk-through/observation, I'll let the kids color it when they are finished :)  Did you know that coloring is a BIG no-no in First Grade????  It is in our district.  Just ridiculous.  No fun, it's all business.  So you gotta try to sneak it in, don't tell.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Last day to get a FREE Math Kit & EBATES!

Last day to get this FREE download....... But first, I want to ask you about Ebates.

 Are you using this?  I currently have $111.93 that is currently being sent to me in a
"Big Fat Check" and I love to share a good deal!  It's a no-brainer!  All you do is go to their site, find the store where you want to make a purchase, click on it and it takes you right to that stores website.  You make your purchase like you normally would at that store BUT you get an extra bonus, which is cash back in your Ebates account (a percentage of the amount your spent at that store).  At the end of the quarter Ebates will send you a "Big Fat Check" with the money you earned.  Does it cost you anything? NO.  Do you get the same sales, ability to use coupons/coupon codes in addition to the cash back?  YES!  It's exactly like your regular online shopping, just go through their site first and that's all you need to do!  Click on the Ebates logo below to see how easy it is and then click on "Join" in the top right corner of their site:

Next,  TODAY is the last day to get my new Math kit for FREE:

All you need to do is follow my store at Teachers Pay Teachers!  It just takes a click and this will be delivered to your Teachers Pay Teachers inbox within 48 hours!

But HURRY!  This freebie ends on 10/16 - If you missed it, make sure to follow my store anyway so you will be able to get the November Follower Freebie and all Follower Freebies after that!

Holiday Shopping and a FREEBIE!

It's that time of year!  Let the shopping begin!!!  I have just recently learned about Ebates.  I had heard of it, but had no idea that is was just free money and how easy it is to get it!  You can use it for all of your online shopping.  I started using it this week and already have over $20 that I have gotten for free just by going to the Ebates site first and then going to the store I wanted to purchase from after that.  For example, I bought some linens from JC Penny so I went to Ebates.com, then from their sight I clicked on JC Penny (all of the stores are there), and then it went straight to the JC Penny site.  I earned back 6% of what I spent.  AND, you can still use all of the coupon codes, rewards, etc... that you would use at that store anyway.  So I used a coupon code from JC Penny, got my JC Penny rewards (from JC Penny), AND got 6% back from Ebates.  I also ordered some things from Ulta, used a coupon code from Ulta, got a free gift from Ulta AND got 8% back from Ebates!  SO EASY!

Another really great thing going on is the big Cyber Monday and Tuesday sale going on at Teachers Pay Teachers!!!!  I will have all of my items 20% off for these two days and if you enter the promo code:  CYBER, you will get an additional 8% off from Teachers Pay Teachers!!!  That's 28% off!!!!
