The Dawn of Saturday Nerd Libs on Carol's Garden

Mel and Gerdy are introducing a new linky party called "Nerd Libs." It reminds me of the "Mad Libs" we used to do in fifth grade when I was a kid. So, nothing fancy, but here's mine.

Head over to Mel and Gerdy's blog to see other Nerd Libs, or to grab the template and create your own.

"See" you next time!

December Currently from Carol's Garden

I love Christmas! Christmas sights and smells, and holiday tunes! I love being warm inside with family, especially if it's snowing outside. :)

Now that it's December it's time to link up with Farley for this month's Currently!

Listening: I love this version of "The Little Drummer Boy" by Pentatonix. This song has always had a special place in my heart, and I love the message about simple gifts from the heart being special. I also enjoy the beautiful harmonies of the voices in this group. I took six years of choir in middle and high school, so I appreciate the training and talent it took to achieve this.

Loving: the cooler weather. Humid summers are not my thing! I can always bundle up when the weather turns colder (and winters here in Tennessee are mild), but I wilt in heat. So far, I've only had to turn the heat on once, and my air conditioner no longer runs non-stop.

Loving the Fall Weather!

Thinking: about what presents to buy for my kids this year. The biggest problem is that they are usually with me when I shop, so I'm going to have to find a way to get out and shop without them. My daughter is a talented writer and artist. She really wants an iPad, but I just can't afford it. Luckily, she knows that and understands. My son would love anything Lego or Star Wars, but I can't believe the prices of those things, either. I'll have to figure something out. Speaking of Star Wars, have you seen the trailer for the new movie, coming out in 2015?

Wanting: everyone to just get along...including my teenagers. ;)

Needing: to prepare for my son's IEP tomorrow. He has high-functioning autism and is highly intelligent. He needs help with his social skills, though. Now that hormones are hitting him, he's having an even more difficult time.

Giving: Krista Wallden, from Creative Clips, challenged all her followers to use some adorable free clipart as part of a gift for others. I used her penguin and Christmas bow, as well as fonts by Kimberly Geswein and Kevin and Amanda to create a couple of banners for TpT's Super Cyber Monday and Tuesday Sale. Then I uploaded them on the sellers forum and to my store so that others could use them for free. It's fun to share!

If you want to participate, copy the blank template, fill it out, use it in your own blog post, then link up your post on Farley's page. Make sure to go back and read and comment on the other links, too! You'll find some awesome blogs that way!

BLACK FRIDAY BUNDLE BASH SUPER SALE!!

Bundle your savings with this super bundle sale on Teachers Pay Teachers on Black Friday!

Black Friday Bundle Bash!

Everyone loves a sale! Instead of fighting the crowds this Friday, why not treat yourself or a friend by shopping the fabulous deals on TpT? As a special Thanksgiving gift to you, each of the sellers shown below is slashing prices on up to four huge, already discounted bundles for even greater savings! Here's how it works:

1. Check out the stores of each seller below. 

Illumismart	KB3Teach	Meredith Anderson	The Candy Class
Crockett's Classroom	Comprehension Connection	Sandy's Spot	KinderLit
Strawberry Shake	Shelly Rees	Emily Ames	AZSunsetwoman
Kacie Travis	Sandra Farrell	The Teacher's Post	Joyful Explorations
Carol's Garden	Jill Bell	Amy Mezni	Teaching Momster
Yara ESL World	Yara Sea of Knowledge	The Lone Wolfe	Cara Taylor
Creations by Kim Parker	Jungle Learners	Teaching Superkids	Can't Stop Smiling
The Knitted Apple	The Teaching Treehouse	Curriculum Castle	Rick's Resources
JB Creations	Triple the Love in Grade 1	Angie S

Each store will have up to four bundles in their top four "promo spots" at the top of their pages. Each of these bundles is already a great deal at its normal price, as products are already discounted by sellers when they are bundled. It gets even better, though! Each of those bundles will be marked down by the sellers for even greater savings on Black Friday!

*Note: you should also be able to enter the terms BlackFriday14 or BLACKFRIDAY14 to find a list of all the products entered in the sale site-wide, but this feature has been working erratically. If you find it doesn't work on the day of the sale, try the promo spots in each of the listed stores. Thank you for your patience in acquiring these fantastic deals!

2. If you're shopping before Friday, put together your "Wishlist!" (Otherwise, skip to Step #3.)

Click on the product thumbnail, which will take you to the individual product page. In the upper right-hand corner you'll see a box like the one below.

Click on "Add to Wishlist"

Click on the part that says "Add to Wishlist." The product link will automatically be added to your list. Repeat this step for all the products you want to consider. On Friday, open up your wish list by clicking on your "cart" at the top right of your screen.

Click on "View Wish List"

The list of items you clicked previously will show up, along with their sale prices for the day.

3. If you like the new price, move the item to your cart by clicking on "Move to Cart."

Repeat until you have your final selection.

4. Proceed to "Checkout" and purchase you new bundles at a fantastic savings! 

There's no need to enter any promo codes, as each seller has already discounted their bundles in their stores. Then download and enjoy the savings!

Here are the featured bundles in my store:

Bundle of Fun Game Boards for Fall, Winter, and Spring

Normally, these game sets would sell for $6.00. As a bundle, they are marked down to $4.00, but on Black Friday, you can buy all 9 games for just $3.00 total! Use them with any task cards for some fun review!

My next discounted bundle contains something for those difficult to teach social studies terms.

Bundled for Savings: American History Vocabulary Cards

All these vocabulary cards are illustrated and include definitions. If you teach American History, these cards are for you! Use of the 6 included sets normally sells for between $3 and $3.75 each. If you were to purchase them separately, that's a value of $19.50 for all six sets. As a bundle, that price is discounted to only $15, but on Black Friday it will be marked down even more to only $12.00! That's almost a 40% savings over the individual price! It's like getting two sets free!

For my third entry, I'm including this super bundle of math task cards for fourth grade. There are more than 200 pages in this resource, and it's one of my best sellers.

Math Task Card Bundle + - X Divide Elapsed Time Measurement and Angles (not shown)

There are student and teacher directions, plus full answer keys included with each set. Each task card page has six cards per page, with varying difficulty levels aligned to the CCSS. Purchased separately, these sets would cost $43.00. Bundled for savings, they sell for $28.00. On Black Friday, you can nab all these sets for only $19. That's more than 55% off the individual prices!

My fourth bundle is one which I just added today. It contains all of my most popular detective-themed items for upper elementary grades classrooms. 

Detective Theme Classroom Bundle

Priced individually, this resource would normally cost $21.50. As a bundle, it is discounted to only $15.00. On Black Friday, the price will be further slashed to only $12.00! That's more than 44% off the individual price! It's got detective themed postcards, banner, name tags, behavior chart, and beginning and end of year lap books. Tons of fun, and cute, too!

Just click on the individual product pictures to go straight to their links, or find them all featured in my store here. Click on the Bloglovin' icon to follow my blog and be notified of all upcoming sales and free products!

I hope you'll stop by our stores this Friday for this special BlackFriday14 bundle bash! Hurry! After Black Friday ends, so does this sale! Hope to "see" you there! 

Happy Thanksgiving!
