Dear Bloggy Friends,
I am sad to report that I cannot give you the activity I had planned to post today. When I returned home from a Social Studies Standards workshop, I found that my external hard drive was empty. This is where I keep all my clip art, items I made, videos I make and find, etc. While trying to figure out how to recover the files myself, the electricity went off because it is storming like crazy here! I am going to the computer man tomorrow to see if he can help me!
Anyway, this is one of the only things that I have not shared that was saved on my actual computer. I had not planned on sharing this in Blogland because I specifically made it for my school, which is a Kids at Hope School. We believe that all kids are capable of success! We want to get them to thinking about how they can be successful adults in 4 specific areas of life (Career and Education, Home and Family, Community and Service, & Hobbies and Recreation). I created this little book so students can write their future. I can see this being used when discussing meeting needs and relationships too.
With all that said, there will actually be 5 freebies (hopefully), since I kind of threw this one in here! Click the pic to download the "My Future" Book.

Classroom Shopping Linky Party!
Kristen at Ladybug Teacher Files is hosting a Classroom Shopping Linky Party. You know me, I can't resist a good party! :)
Of course I LOVE Target! Here is my latest find:
The purple bag is for my classroom iPad and the small green ones are for our iPods. I can't wait to get my paint out and fix them up! The books are Who is Hiding? (a habitat book) and Dinosaurs. I am going to use the clock for something like "Tiger Time" to discuss things that are happening in our district since we are the Tigers!
I also like shopping at the Dollar Tree, Really Good Stuff, Wal-Mart, and The Tardy Bell!
Now head on over the Kristen's page and link up!

Leaving a Link in a comment
I am sure that Kristen (Ladybug Teacher) has probably done a fabulous tutorial about this, but I'll give it a shot!
I received a comment asking how to leave a link to your blog in a comment.
You will need this code:
Copy the URL to your blog and paste it in the place of URL in the code.
Type the name of your blog in place of Name of Blog.
I typed mine in as a post, but I didn't publish it. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like. I just copy the code from here and then paste it below my comment.

Labels!
I've been wanting to make some new labels for my book baskets, cabinets, and student work. My old labels were name tags from the dollar spot with words written in Sharpie, so I think these are a definite upgrade. Because I love all my bloggy friends so much, I wanted to share them with you! You can get your copy by clicking the picture below.
P.S.: I tried to embed the file directly into my post, but Google Docs was being silly. Anyone else having trouble?
Have a GREAT Summer night!
