I'm super-excited to be kicking off Fall with a fun blog hop and giveaway!  I have teamed up with an awesome group of Second Grade teachers for this party, and you're going to love it!  A huge thanks to Heather from Second Grade Perks for putting this together!

Here's how it works:  Each blog is offering a freebie today through the 29th.  To get the freebie, you will need to visit each blog.  Once you have picked up the freebie, you will see where to head for the next freebie.
