Here is the link directly to my free product:

I have been teaching 18 years and have taught in both public and private schools.  I have worked in poverty stricken areas and wealthy areas.  I have seen a lot in those years.  Well we all have stories to share that have shaped us and made us better teachers. I am currently in a district and have been for about 12 years that SPOILS their teachers ROTTEN.  Let me rephrase that -- the parents spoil us rotten. :o)  I am often humbled and sometimes embarassed by their generosity....and our PTA don't even get me started....they are AMAZING!!!  So I want to do something special for my fellow teachers --- On this - my first teacher's appreciation week in the blogging world - I want to thank all of my friends, my mentors, and fellow colleagues who work so tirelessly day in and day out. Starting on Sunday, May 6th TpT is celebrating teachers and I have decided to join them.

On May 6th, over 150 teachers have joined together to give away ONE FREE item with a value of at least $3! Wait did you hear that?!?  FREE THINGS -- Where do I sign up - LOL .  If you visit everyone's shop ... that is over 150 items for free! The retail value of this gift is estimated at over $500 of free teacher created products. TpT has divided this giveaway into three categories because it is so massive! Check back for more details as the date draws near!
