A RACK linky party

One of my new blogging friends, Mrs. Foxwell, is having her very first linky party, and it's such a cute idea! Plus, isn't that graphic adorable?

Here's how it works:

You choose 2 blogs that you follow {one newer blog that you recently began following and one blog that you have been following since you first began} and highlight them on your blog by explaining why you think they are such a gift! Then you give them a RACK by offering them one item as a gift from your TPT store!

So here are my 2 blogs:

Fun with Reading and Writing

I just recently discovered Sally (can't even tell you how I stumbled upon her blog - I think I was browsing for more VA bloggers), and she's another reading specialist. She works with grades K-6, and recently she's done a few posts about preparing for the 5th grade writing SOLs. I've been slowly looking through some older posts, and they're all filled with great information. I don't know how she only has 6 followers, but I'm assuming it's only because she hasn't been discovered yet. i wrote about her yesterday, and I'm serious. Check this girl out!

I've been following Amanda at One Extra Degree since I entered the teacher blogging realm back when I just had The Dalton Gang. She is one of the very first TpT stores I found and fell in love with because her stuff is SO cute! She teaches 3rd grade (or at least she taught it), so everything is very relevant to what I teach. But it's young enough that some of her stuff even works for the younger grades. If you haven't discovered her, get out from under your rock and find her!
