Aloha everyone. Last week I posted about my observation and how well it went mainly because of my Daily 5 routine in my classroom. If you have followed me for awhile then you know how much I love the Daily 5 model. I had a few questions about my routines so I thought I would do a more thorough post for you today. The Daily 5 model in my classroom is pretty typical of what the authors of the book suggest. You can visit their awesome website The Daily Cafe for lots of great tips and suggestions. Lets start with my rotations. Each Tuesday we begin our rotations. I pass out a weekly checklist for my students to keep track of their rotations. They must complete all 5 areas before they can repeat the same activity. Each rotation lasts for 20 minutes and students must stay in that area until I give the signal for the next rotation. All students have a personal book bag with their number on it. When they go to Read to Self they just grab their bag and start reading. They each have 10 books in their bags. Each students is allowed to exchange their books once a week. I have a schedule to make it easy for them and myself. For Listen to Reading I have 4 white bags that have a CD player, headphones and 6 different books with a CD. The students can grab a bag and sit anywhere in the room. They can also choose an iPad and listen to stories on there. I have the Storia App from Scholastic and I also have some free ebooks that I have downloaded from different places such as Amazon and Kindle. Students choose a buddy to read with and then they choose a Buddy Reading Bucket. I have 4 buckets filled with pairs of books from the school library and my classroom. They find a quiet spot and read together. For word work I have a variety of activities for my students to choose from. I have 3 tubs with spelling work, sight words and skills sheets. I also have monthly activities for them to choose from as well. I do not require my students to do one before the other, but they must choose an activity and complete it. My students have lots of options for writing during this time. I don't have a lot of space for this area so I have set it up for them to have access to a variety of items. I bought this writing center from A Cupcake For The Teacher, but don't have wall space. So I set up two binders with everything in it. The kids can easily get a binder and take it back to their seat. They can also choose to write in our message books. These came from Lori over at Teaching with Love and Laughter. I read through a few the other day and some of my students are writing back and forth to each other. It is so cute! I also have TONS of different writing templates and paper. They love to write on a variety of paper instead of just their journals. I am pretty loose when it comes to work on writing since we have more formal writing during other times. Students keep track of where they are going with their clip. I choose one student to take off the clips after each rotation and pass them out. The rest of the students are marking their charts and I am getting ready to meet with the next group. I keep the clips in a simple plastic bucket. This year I am co-teaching with our Sped teacher so she is in the classroom with me during my Daily 5 rotations. Now that we are rolling we are able to meet with smaller groups and able to read with each child every day. Here is my schedule. I have a binder with my schedule and the different groups that I meet with. I simply write the book and skills that I plan to work on with each group. I have 5 different groups, but the Sped teacher meets with two groups during this time. We have a one hour block to meet with everyone. Inside I keep their rotation charts activity sheets and the list of students in each group. My groups change all the time depending on their needs. For my groups I tend to use A-Z readers most weeks. It is so easy to differentiate and they have great activities to go with each book. I do however use our basal readers and books from my personal library. I have a little basket on hand with basic supplies for each group. Whisper phones, reading fingers, sticky notes, and lots of pencils! I love these bookmarks that I ordered from Really Good Stuff. They are simple reminders for my students and we use them quite a bit. Each Friday I wrap up our weekly rotations with an assessment. It is usually 10 multiple choice and a written response. We work hard on comprehension and skills and these weekly assessments help me to easily measure how each child is progressing. I use the assessments that are provided with the A-Z program, our basal reader, or sometimes I have them take an AR quiz. WellI think I have covered everything in my Guided Reading routine! I hope this clarifies any questions that some of you may have had. What does your guided reading time look like? Are you able to meet with all of your students daily? I would love to have 30 minutes more in my daily routine! Do you feel you have enough time to do it all?! I always look forward to your comments.

I'm a fan of HGTV's House Hunters. I really like House Hunters International. Most of those episodes really make me appreciate the size of my kitchen and closets. House Hunters: Where Are They Now? gives you a chance to see what people did with their homes after they move in. We are over half way through the school year and I thought I might do a little Daily Five: Where Are They Now? post about my Daily Five journey with my class and some changes I've had to make. I am certainly not an expert on The Daily Five, but I have used it for more than a few years. I figured if I have had some challenges, other teachers have too. Here are some of the changes that have helped this year's group of students . . . Below you will find a freebie packet I've put together for some of the paper assignments during Word Work. You can use these activities even if you are not doing the Daily Five. Click on the picture for more information and to download your own copy. If you are interested in getting started with The Daily Five, be sure to read The Daily Five by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser and check out some of my other Daily Five posts. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.
First of all, I'm home today with the FLU. Yuck. Double yuck. All last week, I had no fewer than 4 kiddos gone each day. I Lysoled, I Cloroxed, I Purelled... But I, too, have been attacked by the flu bug. I'm hoping a little R&R will let me be back in the classroom tomorrow! I thought this would be a good chance for me to post a couple freebies that hopefully will help some of you all with assessments (particularly as we reach the end of second quarter - and grading/comments loom overhead)! First, this freebie is a guided reading rubric to assess your students on a range of key skills and behaviors. And here's a freebie rubric to assess your kiddos as they use the Daily 5. You can click on either image to download from Google Drive, or hit up my Teachers Pay Teachers store by clicking {here}. I am currently at 79 followers - just 21 more till the big 100! I plan to do a big giveaway here when I hit that mark, so if you or anyone you know might be interested in donating a product for the giveaway, please let me know by clicking {here}. I'm linking up with Manic Monday at Classroom Freebies! Happy Monday!
Today’s Wednesday, and that means it’s one day closer to being break for me. And for the rest of you, only three more days ’til the weekend! Today’s post offers you another …
I have been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to share my thoughts on the last couple of chapters in the Freebielicious summer bo...
In today's quick post, I'm sharing 12 activities that students can complete after a shared reading experience - perfect for centers or Daily 5!
My students are loving the choice that comes with using the Daily 5 framework, and I am loving how I'm not lecturing constantly, or grading worksheets all night. I love that they are doing real work, real reading, and I'm coaching them as they need it, on the specific skills they need. I just love our D5 time...even with our scripted program being included! It's truly a framework that you can adjust to fit your mandates, and your teaching style. I have these on my board and the students refer to them throughout our D5 time. My copy has our Georgia Performance Standard that relates to each time. I am including a freebie link to both sets, the 3rd grade GPS, and the posters with no standards. Please let me know if you use them. :) This version has the 3rd grade GPS No standard on this copy

Shared reading is such a valuable part of the day where we can integrate science, poetry, fluency, and phonics all in a 15-minute time frame! I'm sharing five teaching points for shared reading that you can use with any big book or poem for shared reading to help your students progress in reading.
Guided Reading is my favorite part of the day because it was designed to meet the needs of the students. I keep everything organized in my Guided Reading Binder. I've tried many different systems, but I like having a binder for each group. My Guided Reading Organizational Binder has everything you need to keep you organized during guided reading. Inside the Binder Lesson Plans Running Records Anecdotal Notes Lesson Plan Formats For primary aged students, I try and complete two books a week. Completed books are put into fluency bags. Students can use their fluency bags at work stations. I've also had students read their fluency books for the first 2-3 min of guided reading if I am needing to help make sure the next set of work stations are off to a smooth start. I always try to do word word, book introductions, independent reading (that's when I take running records), comprehension, and writing. Guided reading should be focused on what the students are needing. Even though I start the week off with specific word work words, I may add additional words later in the week, depending on their running records. Download this template for free! Sometimes I dictate sentences (see below), but most of the time, I let them write about something that happened in the book. Depending on the guided reading level, I will scaffold this activity with a sentence frame if it is needed. I always have them read their sentence to a partner. Collecting Data I use both running records and anecdotal notes. When taking running records, I always praise the students for something they did well (self-corrected, used a strategy we've been using to solve a word, etc). Then I always have a teaching point that focuses on something I want them to work on next time we read. This is a sample of anecdotal notes. If I'm taking notes, instead of a running record, I will write down words they missed and a strategy I want to teach them next. Guided Reading Organization These bins from ReallyGood Stuff work great for keeping each groups materials organized. They come in sets of four or five and have lasted me for years. Each bin is a different color, which makes organizing easy! I've also used the rolling carts with six to eight drawers. Other materials that I like to keep handy: Highlighters Highlighter tape Pocket Folders Post it Notes Comprehension Question Cards Comprehension Bookmarks Pens, Pencils, and Makers Strategies The majority of my strategies for guided reading have been adapted from The Next Step in Guided Reading and Strategies that Work! I also think that using anchor charts as a reference during guided reading helps students anchor their thinking and the teacher can scaffold strategies in a small group. Here is my Pinterest Board with my favorite anchor charts! Important Notice: I NEVER let students round robin read or choral read during guided reading. (Sorry, I didn’t mean to shout, but I wanted to get my point across). The purpose of guided reading is for students to read and problem solve. If they round robin read, they spend the majority of guided reading listening and not reading. If students choral read, they can “fake” read. By having every student read every word of the text, they are getting the most out of their guided reading time. Pre Emegergent For this group, we do lots of activities with letters and picture cards, as well as working with their names. This group is really focused on phonemic awareness and we spend quite a bit of time working on letters and sounds. We also read books and then write sentences, cut them up, and finally we build them back together. I also use quite a bit of beginning sound activities from my Preschool Bundle. This is an easy and fun way to make phonemic awareness more visual for the students. I just clipped letter cards on to an elastic and we stretch out the sounds and blend the words back together. Levels A-E For word work, I have a word bag for each student (see picture below). Anytime they miss a sight word on a running record, the word gets put in their word bag for extra practice. This has really helped students improve their sight words, and we are using the sight words in the context for real text. We will build words, look for words in our stories, and practice reading our words with a partner. When students are reading, I ask them lots of questions about their reading, to help them think about what good readers do. Why did you self-correct? How did you know that said *? Let’s try that again. What would make sense that start with the * sound? This is also a great time to practice specific decoding strategies. My favorite posters to use are these by Lisa Mattes at Growing Firsts. I also build fluency bags for students. These fluency bags are usually used during work stations. These are completed books that we’ve done, so they have some familiar rereads. Levels F-I This is when I really, really make sure I’m focusing on comprehension. I also make sure to have students incorporate writing. Students have a response journal. This is what they write in while I’m taking running records or other students are finishing reading. Some ideas for Reponse Journal: Make a prediction. Confirm if you were correct or not. What was one new idea that you learned (nonfiction). List three words to describe a character in the story. How might one event change the entire story. What was the author's purpose for writing this story? How do you know? One of the strategies we use when we read fiction is Somebody Wanted But So Then. This is a great way to teach problem and solution and help students summarize a story. Students can use this free graphic organizer to help them map the story. Levels J+ For these levels, we spend quite a bit of time reading and using comprehension strategies. One area I like to work on is asking and answering questions. I have found that the “Facts Into Questions” is a great strategy to use. Students first identify facts. Then from those facts, they create questions. Fact: Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama. Question: Where was Rosa Parks arrested. This strategy can be used for both fiction and nonfiction and really helps students understand what questions are asking them. As students get more and more practice with this strategy, it is great for helping them answer questions that involve inferences. Professional Resources Next Step in Guided Reading is by far my favorite guided reading resource. It has excellent strategies to help students in all grade level improve their reading comprehension. There are also a number of word work activities to help students build their visual memory. If you only buy one "reading resource" this is your book!

Hey all! A small part of my day is when students get to work through their reading checklists, also known as reading station time AKA daily 5, what have it. I'm going to give you a little run down of how I make this time work with my firsties! I absolutely love it! The idea came from Fabulous in First. I took it and just tweaked it to make it work in my own room. Each week, my students work through a checklist of 6 different stations. Their goal is to finish all stations by Friday. The students have 30-40 minutes each day to work through the stations. They can get them all done, IF they stay on task! ;-) Here is the checklist that I pass out to my kids each Monday. I don't make the stations too complicated. I try to keep the type of activities consistent week to week so I don't have to spend a bazillion hours explaining the activity. The great thing about the checklist is that students get to choose when they do an activity. They love the choice! I was afraid to let go here, but it's been so worth it. The kids are more engaged and on task because they do what they want to do. One of their favorite stations is the Book Station. These are little interactive readers that I write to go with our weekly skill or theme. Last week we were all about Otis and Scarecrows. Our spelling skill was Y sounds like I - so, Mr. Sly Scarecrow it was. When I introduce this station, we do a shared reading of the book and discuss the story elements. Students then work on the book independently to identify sight words and complete a little comprehension activity at the end of the book. Here is an example of one of the comprehension activities from one of the books called, "The Library Mouse." The next station activity on the checklist that you see above is what we call Skill Work. I basically use this station as one where I can really put whatever I feel we need to work on. One week students reviewed their short vowels, last week students searched for sight words in books and this week students are working on a noun and verb activity. It's super versatile and the name of the station really covers anything! Another station that the students love to complete is the writing station. Each week I provide students with prompts and other options to complete at the writing station. The only requirement is that they turn in one piece of writing with their checklist work. They can write a story, pick a prompt or do a writing activity sheet that is at the writing center. Here is an example of what many students completed last week. Other students had a story on their mind that they wanted to write instead, so they grabbed a piece of blank paper and got to work! I really don't mind what writing activity they do. As long as they do their best and turn in work that they're proud of! Another favorite is the Poetry Station! I get my poems from Proud to be Primary! They make prepping for this station SO easy!! Each week, I write the poem on a large anchor chart. We work with the poem as a class on a variety of skills. Then, students do the independent poetry work at their poetry station. They fill in the blanks for the poem and glue strips in order. It's great practice for fluency because they really get to read this poem A LOT throughout the week! <3 p=""> An easy peasy one is the listening station. We use something called, BookFlix. Students get on, choose a book and listen. After they listen, they complete a simple graphic organizer. I don't change the organizers too often. Right now we are on week three of this beginning, middle and end flip flap. I like the keep it the same, just because it encourages independence and limits interruptions when I am trying to do guided reading groups. You can never have too much practice with BME anyway.! The last station you see on the checklist is word work. We all basically know how this ones goes. Each week, I slip an activity in the bucket that follows our spelling rule for the week. Sometimes the kids have an activity sheet, sometimes a sort and sometimes a search. Just depends on which idea Mrs. Hursh comes up with for the week! :-) That's how we do stations in my room. During station time, I call one group over for a 20-25 minute guided reading lesson. I swear by a-z reading. I just love it! I meet with each group 2-3 days a week. We get our read to self time in, in the afternoon after our read aloud. Sometimes I incorporate an activity here too. For example, this week we are looking for s blends while we read to self. It really helps with their stamina. We read to self for 15-20 minutes. Just depends when I am done with the guided reading group. This week after read to self, we are sharing some of the s blend words that we find. All week long, students keep all of their station work in a blue folder. On Friday, they get it out, I staple it, grade it and return it! I hope you found this little run down helpful! Have a great Monday night!!

Develop your self-esteem to increase psychological health, achievement, personal happiness, and positive relationship--from a leading psychotherapist \"Brilliant, laser-focused and critically relevant, Dr. Nathaniel Branden's 'pillars' give us a lifelong set of foundations upon which to build our families, our schools and our businesses.\"--Dennis Waitley, Ph.D., author of The Psychology of Winning. Six Pillars of Self-Esteem is the culmination of a lifetime of clinical practice and study, already hailed as a classic and the most significant work on the topic. Immense in scope and vision and filled with insight into human motivation and behavior, it is essential reading for anyone with a personal or professional interest in self-esteem. Dr. Nathaniel Branden introduces the six pillars--six action-based practices for daily living that provide the foundation for self-esteem--and explores the central importance of self-esteem in five areas: the workplace, parenting, education, psychotherapy, and the culture at large. Six Pillars of Self-Esteem provides concrete guidelines for teachers, parents, managers, and therapists who are responsible for developing the self-esteem of others. And it shows why--in today's chaotic and competitive world--self-esteem is fundamental to our personal and professional power.

Teaching your students to use multiple reading strategies is tough. When asked, many times my students will tell me that they used the strategy of “sounding it out.” To help my students better use and be able to articulate use of multiple reading strategies, I created these posters! I hang the posters at eye level so that my students can easily refer to them as reading. I have included multiple strategies that follow along with Readers Workshop, Guided Reading, and Daily Five reading strategy suggestions. I have also included a page that has all nine posters on it so that you can send it home or students can keep it in their book box. What is included: → Nine posters with reading strategies. → Two Options for Poster Frame → Two Options for Sizes → All nine strategies on one page to send home or give to students. → Note to teacher explaining how I use the resource. ************************************************************************** You may also be interested in these resources from my store!

Read to Self Read with Someone Word Work Listen to Reading Read with a Teacher/Teacher Time What resources do you use during Read with a Teacher/Teacher Time? I love meeting with my groups during Read with a Teacher! I typically have 5-6 kids in a group and it's wonderful reading through a chapter book with them and experiencing the story through their eyes. We just finished Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and even though I have read it hundreds of times, I still love reading it during Teacher Time because it never ceases to be exciting and wondrous for my third graders :) I love using chapter books for this time, so because of that, my resources have to be flexible to adapt to the variety of books, genres, and levels we read throughout the course of the school year. EdHelper's Literature Units One great resources I have just discovered is EdHelper's Literature Units. Elizabeth from Fun in Room 4B first blogged about this and I immediately had to know more! It's a members-only option, but for only abour $20 a year, it's well worth it for me because they have questions, vocabulary, quizzes, and activity on HUNDREDS of books! The time it saves me is HUGE! I organize them inside of a blue folder (blue=reading in my organizational system): I do not use them with the kids as worksheets, I rather will use them for discussion questions, partnership activity focus questions and sometimes as a formative assessment along the way to check for comprehension. We use Accelerated Reader for end-of-book comprehension quizzes, but I like how these units allow me to check in along the way to make sure their AR quiz will be as successful as possible. Prompt Cards & Cubes I love these {free!} Guided Reading Prompt Cards (thank you Shelley Gray!) These cards have been super-helpful because they are so quick and easy. I sorted through them and don't use every one, but most of them are fitting. I just printed them and laminated them so they can stand up to lots of use. I keep them in a bucket and kids use them as a focus question as they read or an Exit Slip question before they leave group. They are very general, so it's a nice break and super easy to use, even for short stories or nonfiction articles. I bought several different sets of these cubes from Really Good Stuff. I love these the most because they are a bit more complex than the card and one even focuses on vocabulary, prefixes/suffixes, and finding meaning through context clues- yay! Kids love to roll them and then focus on finding the answer to the cube as we read together. As you can see, none of these are too complicated or heavy on the prep time. The choices serve the wide variety of abilities in my room as well as all of the books we read as a group. I really like how this has turned out and it's been fun to see kids grab a card and/or cube and have a specific goal to attain in our Read with a Teacher time. It has also made teaching a chapter book more enjoyable for me since the questions and vocab are all ready to go, so I am not having to tear my hair out the night before a new book thinking of them myself! Do you use any of these resources or others during Teacher Time? I'd love to hear about it :)
How has it been one week since Favorite Pins Friday? Gosh my summer is flying by! I'm linking up again with Cara to share my favorite pins from the week. I'll also see you tomorrow for Saturday Snapshots. If you click on the pictures it should take you straight to the source. Here are my favorite pins of the week. Love this for flip flops or flats - letter organizers in your closet Everything from choosing your props, poses, and clothes...all the way to tips for looking good and getting your kids to cooperate. PLUS a free printable picture planner! www.TheDatingDiva...#familypictures #freeprintable#datingdivas One trick I learned from a lighting designer is to look at opposing colors on the color wheel. Take that orange color and go directly across the circle to find it’s complimentary color: teal. Pretty neat right? I so needed this! I always run to my speech department to see if I should recommend a child for speech. Speech Sound Development Chart. These are the ages when speech sounds typically appear in the normally developing child. . For bday treat at school?? A Fun Birthday Treat Alternative To Cupcakes – Delicious And Simple Cake Dip. So fun! I know my students would love this. They always love when we decorate Christmas cookies. Technology is a Tool, not a learning outcome How fun? Surprise ... bacon on the inside. Looks so yummy and easy to grab on the go! I'm sure every mom has felt this way! I need to get this for my sister. This would make me laugh.....all day long....I want to do this for the front porch HAHA ! I've been wanting a digital rotation chart. Thanks Soaring Through Second for the FREE one. So true!
Do you teach upper grades? These strategies and tips for using Daily Five are perfect for grades 3-5. Learn how to make Daily 5 work in your classroom.
I will use this poster for the Daily 5 in my classroom.
Today I am linking up with Ashley from Just Reed to talk about my favorite thing..Reading!!Also these ideas have come from PINTEREST--which we all know I'm obsessed with! It is going to be hard to get down to 10 favorite reading pins when my Classroom Ideas board has over 600 pins! Now that I have a blog and have more ideas to share--I may start splitting up my boards into better categories (maybe a new project on the to-do list!) My absolute favorite Reading Organizational program is The Daily 5, which if you don't know anything about it--you should really get on it. It is AMAZING. It's not a new program to teach reading, it is a structure to organize what you are already doing in your classroom. It builds up your student's stamina for reading so that you can conference and teach small group skills/strategy work (guided reading as well). To go along with what I said before about building Stamina...this anchor chart is perfect! The other part to The Daily 5 is CAFE...this is a wonderful resource for teaching strategies in reading. CAFE- Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, Expand Vocabulary There are so many different strategies it becomes like a CAFE menu :) LOVE IT But ontop of that is teaching SCHEMA--- all the information we know in our brains :) The next pinspiration is "Look what we're reading!" I LOVE displaying the books that my students are reading in the classroom. Here is one way to do it-- when I taught 4th grade part-time I had one of those tri-fold presentation boards with the same look as below. My students wrote on an index card, the name of the book, the author, fiction/nonfiction, a summary of the book, and what they rated the book! They loved it! It was also great for students to look at each others cards to see what books everyone is reading and to give them ideas for a new book! In my classroom library, I have a whole section of "Character Education" books. I believe very strongly in using books to talk about many different topics that come up in students lives. Topics related to anger management, empathy and problem solving are all incorporated into my classroom library: here is a picture of 75 books that build character. One of my FAVORITE pics that I somehow always go back to look at is this: I LOVE LOVE the little classroom library nook. This summer I AM making those crate seats. I bought all the material last summer--but never got to it! I will do it this summer. I love how the books are organized and the cover is faced out so the students can easily see them. Another must have for Daily 5/ CAFE are BOOK BOXES. Sooo many fun and creative ways to design these for your classroom. Here are some pins that are my favorite I can't talk about reading without talking about the Common Core Standards. This year I Can Statements will be a huge part of my classroom up on the front board. These are the statements that aligned to the standards for each subject. How cute is this!!! What a great idea to display New Books or Books about the topic you are currently learning!! Last but certainly not least-- I can't talk about reading without talking about technology whether its the computer or an Ipad....Scootpad is a great ELA/Math App aligned with the common core. You can set up your whole classroom and group them by level. Students will take practice quizzes and tests based on their level. The next picture is a fluency app to score WPM. The last picture is the Confer App--wonderful for teachers to use when conferring with students individually or in small groups! Check them out! Okay so now I am going to link up again! There are just sooo many fun things to do today :) Win, Loss, Cost-- What a fun idea! This is a new linky party and I am linking up with Digital: Divide and Conquer and Third Grade Galore to share with you one win, one loss and one cost this week! Win: My friend won tickets to Jammin in the Valley in Buffalo on Friday (she wins almost everything on the radio to every concert possible haha) So because I get to go I am calling it a WIN ..so we will be seeing Dierks Bentley with Scotty McCreery and Chris Cagle in concert! Woo again my obsession with country music and summer concerts! Loss: Hmm well it is not necessarily a loss--but I NEED to start on my TpT store. Right now (and yes I did just start this process) I have NOTHING in it :( --I really want to get started on this especially over the summer. But most importantly I want to share all my ideas with you! I don't know if I am nervous about it--but I am not sure exactly how to get started. So if any of you TpT fanatics out there want to help me out--I would truly appreciate it :) Any tips on how to get started, how to create those fantastic, cutesy designs etc. Thank you! Cost: Well I am super excited about this..Loft.com has 60% off SALE ITEMS...that is better than the employee discount :) you should really check it out! Also--this week I started getting new things for my classroom (target dollar bins, michaels dollar bins, dollar tree)---see a pattern?! LOVE supplies for 1.00. I bought some new super cute buckets--that I use for Marble Bucket (behavior program), supplies, and all other daily 5 activities I can think of! I use the accordian pocket folders for student study cards and organizational tools for small activities. The chalkboard clips are new! I found these at Michael's and absolutely love them (for school AND home) I can label anything and keep organized! Okay -- I do have to ask to PLEASE follow me on Bloglovin (I have an icon at the top of my page near facebook, twitter, tpt, instagram etc. ) I am new to the blogging world and trying to get as many followers as possible! Thanks for the support :) Click HERE for an easy Link! I would have a giveaway-- but like I said before I haven't set up my TpT yet :(
