I am no longer a third grade teacher so the name had to go! I am teaching fourth grade now and I LOVE it! I haven't been around much because moving to a new grade level sure is hard work. I am feeling more in the swing of things so hopefully I'll be back to regular posting soon.
I wanted to have a more versatile name, so instead of just changing the grade level, I changed it to Adventures of a Polka-Dotted Teacher. I love Polka Dots and my last name is Polk, so why not? :)
I love to celebrate, so why not have a giveaway in honor of my new name and new grade level. I am giving away one $50 gift certificate to TPT!
The Giveway will run until next Sunday! :)
Good Luck!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
If I won the gift certificate I would buy LOTS of clipart :)

Love the name change and that you are loving 4th grade! Thanks for the giveway I have a huge list of fall math and language arts items in TPT to purchase :)
ReplyDeleteI moved from second grade to third grade. I found your blog this summer and enjoyed searching for ideas. Good luck on your new adventure! I would use the gift card to purchase games for my classroom, which I am sure you know can get expensive with a grade level change!
ReplyDeleteLove the new name! I would buy math items!
ReplyDeleteSwitching grades is hard work! Best of luck on your new adventure! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new name. I would buy a bunch of the clip art I have on my wishlist and some literacy items.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Terri
Congrats on making the switch-that is never easy. We love the new name and now you can switch grades every year without switching your blog!! We kid. We kid.
ReplyDeleteWe would have to buy some of the fabulous new fall products that are out and of course clip art. No one can ever have enough clip art right?!

Fluttering Through First Grade
I would probably buy interactive notebook helps and mentor sentence work as that is the direction I want to go this year. I'd probably save some for holiday offerings coming up. I'm so glad you like you're new position!
ReplyDeleteI just changed grades too! I went from 2nd to 5th, so I would buy a lot of fifth grade materials! Glad you are enjoying your new grade!

Welcome back! I missed reading your blog. I moved to a 3/4 combination class after teaching 2nd grade for almost 20 years. Changing grades is hard work but I love the challenge and I am learning a lot! If I won I would purchase the items on my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteTTFN,
Judy
Changing grades is draining isn't it! I seem to change every couple of years, but I love that I do - it is always a new adventure! I would buy lots of clipart - even though I probably don't need it! Otherwise I would save it up, because most likely I will change year levels again next year and will need to buy new resources!

Teaching Maths with Meaning
I would try to get some things from my wish list (it is very long and grows every time I browse!). Love the new blog name!
ReplyDeleteI changed from third to first so I would buy some fabulous first grade materials (or clipart because I can't help myself!) Love the new name and I am glad you are enjoying fourth. You are right though, changing grades is hard!!!

ReplyDeleteIf I won the giftcard I would buy 2 brainy apples common core aligned math daily warmups, they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the giftcard I would buy as much of your awesome TPT stuff that I could with it! Thanks for your amazing third grade stuff..I'm passing your new blog info on to my fourth grade friends! Of course I'm sticking around still, there are still some overlaps from third to fourth :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are loving fourth grade!!! The new blog name is great! And what a fabulous giveaway!! My wishlist is loaded with lots of items that I've been wanting to purchase! Lots of fun clipart and holiday things! So happy that your year is off to a great start! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this opportunity! If I won, I would use it to buy math and literacy center activities.
ReplyDeleteFourth grade is such a fun year with kids making that transition to upper grades. I'm glad you are enjoying it. If I win (and I really hope I do) I can buy some wishlist items from my many pages of wishlist.
ReplyDeleteI would love to purchase some of your math activities as well as your science/social studies lap books. I've never tried a lap book with my students, and think your products would be a great way to get started.
ReplyDeleteThere is always so much on my wishlist...much of it for the day I win the lottery. Or your giveaway! I would love some close reading activities or something for Halloween. Fingers crossed...
ReplyDeleteI would buy things for math!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting! I will eventually have to change my name, too, as I won't always be a "beginning" teacher! I love the name! I would probably splurge on clip art and I must have your Common Core Reading Fold-Its!

Love the name change; I've been thinking of changing my blogs name but I was afraid that I would lose all of my followers. I would love to know how you changed your name without losing your fans due to the HTML change.
ReplyDeleteI would buy a ton of 1st and 2nd grade reading resources! My small groups need them bad!
I need to stock up on some fall theme activities!!
ReplyDeleteI have so many items on my wish list! I would get new things for my 3rd graders in reading.
