Draw Write Now Giveaway!

I'm super excited to host this giveaway!  I love doing guided drawing with my students.  I try to do one per week.  You can see how my class drew the Mo Willems pigeon {here}.  I've noticed that a lot of my special ed students have such a hard time drawing.  I don't know if it's a fine motor deficit or something else, but this seems to be a common struggle with my students.

These Draw Write Now books are AMAZING!  The whole set has 8 different books that cover some really great topics: weather, the Statue of Liberty, transportation, story book characters, rainforest animals, and so many more!  Almost every theme and topic is covered in these books.




The drawings are super easy for kids to follow.  I also love how they've included a version in color with more details that can help sparks your students' imagination.  There's also a short writing sample.


Ever since my set arrived last week, all of the neighborhood girls have been drawing up a storm.  My 7-year-old daughter has drawn almost every picture from the Native Americans and Pilgrims section in Book Three.  Even my 14-year-old has gotten into the drawing!

Barker Creek has been super gracious and is giving away a whole set of Draw Write Now books to one of you lucky followers!

And to go along with this giveaway, I'm donating my All About Reindeer Mini-Unit.  Think of it like  Christmas in July!  :)


I even made a little freebie practice page!  There is one page that goes along with my reindeer unit and one that can be used for any guided drawing activity.  Click on the picture to download your copy.


This giveaway will end at midnight on July 4th.  I'll announce a winner on July 5th.

June Currently

It's a new month and time to link up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade for her June Currently.


1.  Everyone has raved about Dexter, but I never watched it.  My husband bought me season 1 for Mother's Day.  We just started watching it and now I'm hooked.

2.  So glad it's summer break.  My first week didn't start off too great with my daughter being in the hospital, but at least I wasn't worried about planning for a sub while I sat with her.

3.  I'm leaving tomorrow to head back to FL for a week.  I haven't packed a thing!  I need to get busy.

4.  We haven't had as much beach time this week as I would like.  Once I get back from FL, I have to get busy!

5.  You must good books, 30spf sunscreen, and yummy drinks for a good vacation!  I'm looking for something new to read now.  Any suggestions?
