You've heard of bromance.
I now introduce to you... blogmance.
You know what I'm talking about. Some people may call them BBFF's (Bloggy Best Friends Forever), but they are the bloggers that you just love! You've formed a little relationship with them. You go to them for help with giveaways or linky parties. You share products and get them to help you proof them. They are like a friend you've had forever, except you may have never met them in person or talked to them on the phone. You get my drift.
I'm sending my first dose of blog love out to Kelley of Teacher Idea Factory.

I blogged about loving Ron Brown and using his music in the classroom when I linked up with Teaching Maddeness for her Turn Up the Music Linky Party. Kelley is Ron Brown's daughter. After reading that post she sent me a ton of his Language Arts CD's!!! One of the songs, on one of the wonderful CD's inspired the freebie you will get in just a minute. Don't scroll down yet. Keep reading. Y'all, Kelley is so AWESOME! I just love this girl. You have got to check out her new Pen Pal packet. I cannot wait to find me a Pen Pal classroom. {Hint, Hint, to anyone reading.:)}
Second helping of blog love goes to Sarah of Sarah's First Grade Snippets.
Sarah was a winner of my super short Teacher Appreciation Giveaway. Since then, I have been lucky enough to receive several of her Monthly Literacy Menus for her TPT store. They are all AMAZING! They have everything. Her September Menu is crazy packed with perfect reading activities for back to school. Sarah is so super sweet, so go by and check out her stuff. You will be glad you did.
A little blog love goes to Crystal at Ms. Jones' Junction.
She is brand new to blogging! Click on over and welcome her to blog land. I've been totally behind on blog awards, so next blog love goes out to the wonderful ladies who said I was a Versatile Blogger and/or have One Lovely Blog. :) Thanks ladies!!!
Tarita at Paper, Pencils, and Books, Oh my!
Heather at The Busy, Busy Hive
Ashlee at Sweet Seconds
Kate at Fresh and Fun First Grade
Jess at From Blood to Books
Emily at Tangled with Teaching
Deb at Fabulously First
Kristy at Teachin First
Kim at Adventures of a K-1 Teacher
My last bit of blog love goes out to those of you who are still reading :)! One of the CD's Kelley sent was "Word Mechanics." I love the song "Three Kinds of Sentences" on there and was inspired to make a little activity to go with it. Click the pic to get your copy.
Don't forget to join my Big Ole Giveaway!!!!!
Have a great week!



I just bought that song- 3 Kinds of Sentences last week. This will be great to go with it. Thanks so much for the freebie. Love it.

That's awesome! I LOVE the name of your blog! I always wish that I had given mine some more thought and came up with something a little more original. :)
DeleteAw, thanks! I'm not going to lie... I spent days trying to think of a name and it came to me when I was brushing my teeth one night! ;)
DeleteThis is great! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute - LOVE the Sorting Silly Sentences activity!!! I recently posted a couple of charts on my blog for the four types of sentences that would go GREAT with this: http://mrsgilchristsclass.blogspot.com/2012/06/four-types-of-sentences-charts.html
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this - can't wait to use it!
Jena,
ReplyDeleteI am soooooooooooo loving your new term of blogmance. You better get a patent on that quick before someone snaps it up. I can't wait to see what you and Kelley are cooking up with the pen pal idea.
