It's been forever since I've linked up...but it's a new year and time to get with the blogging program! My one little word sums up my Christmas break...family...and the reason why I still feel the need for more time off. It's hard to give up the quality time I've been able to spend with loved ones this break, but it's time to get back in the teaching grove on Monday!

Huge Money Unit Flash Freebie and Currently!

A day late...but I've missed linking up with Farley for awhile, so now it's time to get myself back on track for the monthly link up. Don't forget to scroll down for the link to grab the money unit while it's still free.

 
Well back to school is quickly arriving, and I finally finished the final touches on my money unit. I've been using most of these activities in my classroom for quite awhile and actually had this unit done awhile back, but it needed some final tweaking before being posted in my store. Because I'm pumped about all the wonderful things I've found on TPT over the years and all the great things I know I'll get in the 2-day sale, I'm posting this unit as a freebie for a short time. It's 60 pages of fun activities and some assessments to help with all those money skills. Click on the picture to grab it while you can!

If you leave me feedback, be sure to leave a comment on this post or on my facebook page on the money unit post. I'll pick one person who comments to receive any item of their choice from my store.


Speaking of feedback...don't forget to get caught up on leaving feedback on items you've previously purchased so you can use those TPT feedback credits towards your sale purchases the next two days. I know I had to spend a few minutes getting caught up on that this weekend in order to be ready. Now off to finish looking over my wish list before the sale starts. Happy shopping!

And don't forget to go and link up with Farley if you haven't done so already.
