Triple Treat, a Contest, and a Really Easy Recipe!

It's the first of the month and time for "Triple Treat" where I share information about two new (and fabulous) bloggers and one great recipe. 
 
The first new blogger that gets a shout out is Kimberly Ann at Live, Laugh, I Love Kindergarten.
 
Kimberly Ann's blog is delightful and so is she! You can really tell she loves her kindies! Anyone who dresses like Pete the Cat for Halloween has that true kindergarten heart.

Kimberly Ann posts lots of great free worksheets for the kinder classroom.  She has a real eye for creating appealing worksheets, graphing activities, and cute crafts.  Did I mention free?  Well I'll do it again.

She has cute ABC snowman cards in her TpT store as a freebie.  Kiddos can put snowmen in ABC order and match upper and lower case letters...the possibilities are endless.

Kimberly just started blogging at the end of October and she has reached 100 followers.  She is super excited and is hosting a giveaway.  I am thrilled that she invited me to participate.  Congratulations Kimberly!

Just click the button below to head over and check out her blog and of course enter her give away. 

The second blogger that gets a shout out is Mr. First Grade.

You will absolutely fall in love with this first year, male (YEAH) first grade teacher!
 

He is so SO incredibly creative.  His classroom door for the school door decorating contest is amazing.  The entire school had some of the most fabulous doors ever.  So many of them are worth pinning to your favorite Pinterest boards.

He began blogging on September 30th.  I was lucky enough to be one of his first followers and he does not disappoint!  His ideas are great and I love how organized he is!

He has four free vowel games (short o, u, a and e) in his TpT store.  Check out his whole store while you are there.  http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Mr-First-Grade

Mr. First Grade talks about how much he loves what he does. Here are some of the things Mr. First Grade said in his initial post.

"When they say that first grade is a very important learning year, they're not lying.  I get to witness "light bulb" moments on a regular basis, and it makes me feel incredible. This is why teach."

Head right over to his blog when you get a chance, you won't be disappointed! 

And now for the recipe.  Well not quite a recipe but directions for a super quick "gotta throw something in the slow cooker before I leave for work" kind of thing.

Just just toss 6 frozen  (yup that's right you don't even need to think ahead) chicken breast halves into a slow cooker and cover with 1/2 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce.  Cook on low all day (6-8 hours) and come home to a great main dish.  I shred the chicken and serve it on warm buns.  

Now how easy is that!

One last thing... head over to Target right away and pick up their $1.00 bin Valentines erasers and dice with hearts.  I've got some great freebies I'll be sharing this coming week using those items.  

Thanks-
Granny (Cindy)
