This Giveaway Is Now Closed. After the winner has been drawn, I will post the name at the bottom of this post.
I love to splurge on you and make your back to school special this year. So with lots of planning and with appreciation for my sponsors too, I am proud to be joining with Bright Ideas Press and Rainbow Resource to again be hosting a giveaway for a back to school basket.
This year my theme is an Explorers Basket. I think the theme fits both with what I luv and how I feel right now since we are heading off on a new exploring journey of our own.
Look at this GIGANTO list of goodies in my basket for the love of exploring.

Da Vinci Machines Series – Paddleboat A cool craft because Da Vinci was a true explorer! $16.99
The Global Puzzle. A challenging 600-piece puzzle of the world that has individual pieces shaped like the world’s countries. An explorer needs to know his way so I added a puzzle that is not easy to solve. Keep it long term to add to part of your geography curriculum. $14.44
National Geographic Student Atlas of the World Be still my beating heart you mentioned atlas and I go weak at the knees. I love so many atlases but chose this one to include in my basket. $9.32

I would like to see more Unit Studies. Like a lot of moms I have little ones and older ones, it’s so hard to get everything done in a day and feel like you accomplished what you wanted. Unit studies would help us stay more on track than jumping all over the place. hehe
