I'm so honored to be apart of my friend Cassandra's 30 amazing teachers series to celebrate her 30th! Thank you for thinking of me!!

My name is Lindsey, and I teach 3rd grade in southeast Iowa.

I also blog at Miss Johnston's Journey, and am a graphic/blog designer at L. Paull Designs for All. My designing journey is actually what brought Cassandra and I together initially. She chose me to design her blog! :D
*side note: I'm currently not blog designing*

So, in the spirit of birthdays (mine was just Saturday) I thought I'd share how I celebrate student birthdays in my classroom, and how I celebrate mine, too! Stay tuned for a freebie, and giveaway!

For student birthdays, I write them a card. 
I just get some blank colored ones from Target, and this year I used Creative Teaching Press birthday stickers to add a little something.


They absolutely LOVE getting their card, and always ask immediately if they can open it. 
For summer birthdays, I mail them their card! I've slacked off in the past, but this year I'm making it happen!

I also cover their chair with our happy birthday cover, give them the birthday hat, and a birthday pencil!
We also sign the Happy Birthday Song from Koo Koo Kangaroo on Go Noodle!

We celebrated my birthday on Thursday, because I had a workshop on Friday. It is one of my favorite days of the year, and my kids' too!
It's Pajama Day!
*I have 18 students currently, 2 were absent. This is a really small class size for me. I started the year with 23. I have had 12 changes to my roster with move-ins and move-outs.*

We enjoy donuts and milk in the morning. This year all of my students brought their personalized pillow pets I gave them for Valentine's Day.



It is a great, relaxing day! 

It's time for a freebie!
I created this mini seller kit for you all to enjoy!
I created a bunch of freebie graphics last year...you can check those out here!

We're not done!
Cassandra and I are giving away a $30 gift card to my favorite place... Target!



Do you use Go Noodle?!  I hope that you do, and if you don't then I hope that you will run and sign up for it soon!!


My students LOVE when we take time to do our brain breaks!  They think it's the best part of their day.  Especially when they are the ones who get to pick the break!!

I let my students who are setting a great example be the ones who get to choose the break we are going to do.



Of course their favorite brain break is already Pop See Ko 2.0!  They love it, but haven't quite figured out how to do their own move at the end.  Right now their move at the end is all about falling on the ground!


I am so excited to be teaming up with Go Noodle to bring you a giveaway!!  Have you checked out these eraselets yet?! They look so fun, and I'm sure that your students will LOVE them too!  Plus how fun would they be to pass out!!

We have been talking a TON about Easter.  I teach in a private school, so I love that I am able to share a lot about what Easter truly means.  We have been having some great discussions about what Jesus had to go through before He died.  My Easter notebook has been great, because it has given the students time to reflect on each day as we have worked through it.


My Spring Math centers are some of my favorite, and they just got a huge facelift!!  You can check out a freebie from there here!

I am so happy to say that I met the amazing Marcy in Vegas this summer!  This girl is a sweet heart!! I couldn't be happier to help her celebrate a big milestone, and 1,000 TPT followers!!

Check out her story, and the awesome prizes you could win in this giveaway!!

I started this journey almost 2 years ago. I never even imaged the places it would take me, the opportunities it would give me, or give me incredible friendships with others all over the country. For me, that is the best part of all of this. The connections I've made and bonds I've formed with my blogging buddies is something I will always treasure. 
Almost 2 years ago, I was sitting in my old classroom with my former co-teacher and we were talking about how much we LOVED TPT. She mentioned that I should try selling some of the things I had made and I remember saying "yeah right, who would want to buy anything I make or listen to me ramble about what I do in my classroom." A week later, with her encouragement, I signed up to sell on TPT and a month later I started a blog. That same lady just got her first principal job and I am beyond excited for her. I know she is going to rock it! 
A year and 10 months later here I am with over 1000 TPT followers and I just hit my first big TPT milestone. To those of you that listen to me ramble and spend your hard earned money on something I created, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. It means more to me than you will ever know. 
Now to celebrate I'm throwing a little GIVEAWAY! Ok, its not little. It's a pretty big one actually! 
First up is a CUSTOM classroom wall hanging by Rustic Paisley. My sweet friend Hannah, who is the newest member of my family is crazy talented and runs this little company. She likes to turn trash to treasure and she is super good at it! 
She also just recently started a TPT store! Go follow The Free Spirit Teacher. I know she is going to do awesome!  
How cute are those?? The "B" is mine! You can enter to win a custom wall hanging by filling out the rafflecopter below. 

Up next is a pencil sharpener from Classroom Friendly Supplies! If you have not heard of these, trust me when I say that YOU NEED ONE (OR FIVE) IN YOUR LIFE! They might be old school crank sharpeners but they are the BEST things ever. You can read my review about them here.
