Back to School has always been exciting for me. As a kid, I wanted to get back to school to see my friends. Later when I became a teacher, I thought the summer was always too short but looked forward to getting my classroom ready and meeting my new students. When I was in South Carolina I was Back to School for teacher orientation in the beginning of August but now I don’t start until the week after Labor Day and I love that.
Back to School has always meant getting all the school supplies which I have always loved doing. There were also some new clothes which was fun. While in college, part of what I liked was seeing what new books I was going to be using. As a teacher I still get school supplies, maybe a new outfit and have already gotten a few books in my area of teaching to read during the summer.
For my Back to School Giveaway I am giving away an Amazon $25 Gift Code. You can get all kind of school supplies, books and even clothes at Amazon. Easy entry using the Rafflecopter below. The winner will be chosen using random.org and has 48 hours to respond via email.
