Hey y’all! It’s time for the final day, Day 4, of my Unlock the Prize Anniversary Giveaway. This is a giveaway where everyone wins if enough entries have been received. We have unlocked the prizes every single day. Why? Because you ROCK! I am so happy to have “met” so many new people while doing this giveaway. Thanks to everyone who has stopped by so far. I hope you are enjoying your unlocked gifts, and if you are enjoying them, make sure to go back to those awesome designers and let them know that you love their work!

Today, we will try to unlock the Day 4 Prize Pack. By doing the various options in the Rafflecopter app below, you will help us reach the target number of entries.
Today, we need 500 entries by 5 P.M. Central Standard Time. How can this be done? Well, you have to enter and you have to spread the word to all of your friends so that they can enter too!

Here are a few rules about the giveaway:
1. When you enter, please make sure that you are using a working email. You cannot use multiple email addresses for your entries. If this happens, none of your entries will count and they will be removed from the Rafflecopter app.

Day 2: Unlock the Prize Giveaway (UNLOCKED)

Greetings, and welcome to Day 2 of my Unlock the Prize Anniversary Giveaway. This is a giveaway where everyone wins, if enough entries have been received. Today, we will try to unlock the Day 1 Prize Pack. By doing the various options in the Rafflecopter app below, you will help us reach the target number of entries.
Yesterday, we reached our goal SUPER fast. So, I’m making it a little harder today. Today, we need 350 entries by 5 P.M. Central Standard Time. How can this be done? Well, you have to enter and you have to spread the word to all of your friends so that they can enter too!

When you enter, please make sure that you are using a working email. One thing that I did not mention yesterday that I want to make sure of today is that you cannot use multiple email addresses for your entries. If this happens, none of your entries will count and they will be removed from the Rafflecopter app.
I also have to address another thing. I really hate having to say this…please do what you say you will do. If it asks you to follow someone, please do it! I thought that the honor system would work, but some entries yesterday were false unfortunately. So, I will definitely verify the entries. If you failed to do one of the entries yet said that you did, you will not receive the prize pack. I hate to do it that way, but I think that it is the only fair way to go about it.

Sorry to sound so stern, but I want to be fair to everyone. This is my first time doing a giveaway like this, and I’d hate for someone not to visit here again because they thought things were being handled unfairly.
Okay, I’m off my soapbox now!

If the Day 2 Prize Pack is unlocked, I will send a message to the email that you used in the Rafflecopter app. The email will provide you with a link to download the prize pack. The pack will be available until midnight, Central Standard Time.

Anniversary Unlock the Prize Giveaway

Greetings everyone! I am SO VERY EXCITED because I am celebrating two years of blogging and creating items on Teachers Pay Teachers. When I started blogging, I was unsure of what to write and I didn’t think anyone would be interested in what I had to say. Now, I enjoy sharing my teaching experience no matter who reads it (but I do appreciate when they do!)

I started Teachers Pay Teachers because I had been creating things for my classroom and figured that I could share my creations with other teachers. I never could have imagined how much it would help me financially. Teachers do a lot of work with little pay, so the extra I have made has really helped my family.
With both my blog and TPT store, I have slowly but surely gained followers. Early on, I admit that I was jealous of others who seemed to gain followers and sell products so easily. Soon, I learned that it was about quantity, but quality. Also, I was reminded that the race isn’t given to the swift, but to the one that endures to the end.

I’d like to think that I’m still enduring!

So what am I anticipating in my third year? Well, let’s see…a new blog design with a slight name change, more blogging, more products, and possibly…VLOGGING (ooh-la-la)! So make sure you stay tuned! Last thing! I really want to thank all of the wonderful ones that follow me here and everywhere else that I am. I truly appreciate it!

Moving right along! To celebrate my anniversary, I just had to throw a giveaway. I call it my Anniversary Unlock the Prize Giveaway.



In this giveaway, you and all of your friends will try to reach a certain number of entries each day in order to “unlock” prize packs. So that means that everyone wins as long as the goal for entries is reached. There will be more info about it tomorrow when Day 1 starts. But…

I’m starting the Rafflecopter for the Mega Prize Pack today!

Her other items include pacifier clips, keychains, and retractable ID badges. If you are the lucky winner of the Mega Prize Pack, you will get a choice of either a fabric lanyard or retractable ID badge.

New Things!

Okay, so today’s post is not educational at all! Just wanted to give a little bit of an update. You may (or may not, lol) have noticed some changes if you follow me at my store or other social media networks. I’ve changed my name…well, not really. I’ve changed my name to match the name my momma gave me! So, it’s still MrsMc here, but I just decided to use my full name at my TPT store and everywhere else has Mrs. McClain (that’s what the Mc stood for, just in case you didn’t know :-)

Additionally, I created a Facebook page, I’m on Twitter, and I’m on Instagram. I would L-O-V-E if you would show me some love on all of those places so that you can stay updated with everything.
Lastly, I’m getting so excited as I’m preparing for my awesome giveaway. It’s a unique giveaway and I’m hoping it will be very successful. I have great TPT designers on board, and I’ve also found some AWESOME Etsy designers who will be giving away great things as well. Make sure you stop by next week for all of the fun to begin.
Oh yea, one more thing. I’M GETTING A FACELIFT!

No, not that kind! I’m finally (after what? two years!) getting a new blog design. I’ve been working with the amazing Laura at Sophie & Rory, and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with.
Bye guys!
Like my new Facebook page, Follow me on Twitter, Follow me on Instagram!

Freebie Friday/Giveaway Winners

Good Friday everyone! It’s been rainy in my neck of the woods today, so I have enjoyed a nice day of staying in my bed. The rain always does that to me!

I’m participating in TBA’s Freebie Friday and I’m featuring my newest product, Classmate Name Bingo.



It is another installment in my Bingo Games. This one allows your students to play Bingo with each other’s names. I thought that this would be a good game for the first days of school as your students get to know each other.

You or your students will need to write the names onto the Bingo cards to play. The game includes a blank bingo card, card pieces, call-out sheets for teachers, and counters.

You can click any of the pictures above to download the product from my TPT store or you can click here!

Finally, I’d like to announce the winners of my Welcome Back Giveaway. Congratulations to Kristy, Yvonne, Sara, Brittani, and Brittney and thanks to everyone who entered. And just a heads up, this month is my blog and store birthday month so I’m planning something really nice to take place next week to celebrate (so excited!). Make sure you visit often so you don’t miss it!
Enjoy your Friday and your weekend folks!
+Sincerely, MrsMc
