50 Follower Giveaway & New Blog!

Woot, woot!! I have 54 followers on this beachy blog!! You guys are amazing, and I can't thank you enough for reading my random ramblings. :o)

To celebrate this joyous occasion, my wife has offered to help me out with my first giveaway. I don't have a TPT or a Teacher's Notebook store (yet!), so I thought I'd do something a little non-traditional. My wife is an Independent Director with The Pampered Chef and is giving away a $15 gift certificate to spend on anything you want! Yeah, it's not totally "school-related," but at the same time cooking lends itself well to learning to follow directions, measurement, science... all kinds of stuff!
So, how do you enter this giveaway?  You must...

  • Be a Beach Brains Blog follower! This is to show you all my appreciation after all, so you have to be a follower!
  • Post a comment about how you can integrate cooking into your lessons. I'm not looking for an all-out lesson plan, but just activity ideas and ways you've incorporated cooking into your lessons.
  • You have until 11:59pm CST on Thursday to enter! I'd like to announce the winner some time this weekend! Good luck!!!

Also, if you guys haven't visited yet, you need to boogie on over to Misty's, my new bloggy friend, blog: 3-6 Free Resources. It's chock full of excellent resources to make your life easier, and we all could use that, couldn't we? You can also link up your blog  Plus, it's coffee-themed which is right up my alley. My wife will tell you... I'm a little obsessed with coffee. ;o)

Ok, I'm logging off for the night. Tomorrow, my Beach Brains are making 3-D solids with marshmallows and toothpicks to kick off our geometry unit. Pics to follow! Have a good one!

You Like Me! You Reeeeally Like Me!

Howdy, friends!!

I hope you all have had an amazing week. Mine has been full of ups and downs, and I'm so glad the weekend is almost here! I'm not going to write a novel this go-around, but I did want to take this moment to thank the Diva from Down Under, Miss D, for awarding me the...



Evidently, this award is given to "up & coming" bloggers that have less than 200 followers. I am touched and honored to be given any recognition for the craziness that ensures here! Thank you, Miss D! As promised, I am going to pay it forward and award the Liebster Blog Award to the following bloggers:

1. Kelly Hall - Fabulous in Fourth! - Mrs. Hall's blog is a great source for lesson inspiration. You would be remiss if you passed her blog up. You won't be sorry!

2. Molly - Lessons with Laughter - This is my most recent "blog find". Molly integrates literature, technology, and character education into her lessons. Her passion for learning and teaching is very evident in this upbeat blog. Check it out!

3. Mrs. Landers - Mrs. Landers' Little Learners - In my opinion, anyone who teaches primary grades deserves an award! Mrs. Landers and I actually know each other outside of the "blogosphere," and is a very dedicated & creative PreK & Kindergarten teacher. You'll love her ideas!


Now that you ladies have been given the Liebster Award, go ye therefore and find other budding bloggers like ourselves and pay it forward. :)


Have a great Thursday!
