Tweaking...

Okay - first post up and running. It may take me a few days to get things exactly how I like them on the blog, but I don't foresee any major changes.  My husband has graciously given me a few hints on how to make my posts look better... I will try his suggestions!  :)

I have been in a frenzy of paper grading the last few days.  It is amazing how quickly the papers pile up!  I am almost caught up.  the poor kids have lots of corrections to make, and then the papers must be checked again.  At times, it seems like a never-ending process!  Procrastination does not make a good teacher's pet.

Some of you may notice the Swagbucks sidebar on my blog and wonder what in the world it is.  About a year ago, I set up a Swagbucks account.  Instead of using Google to do my searches on the internet, I use Swagbucks.  I am periodically rewarded for my searches with Swagbucks, which I can then redeem for prizes (I love to get Amazon.com gift cards), all for just doing my normal internet work.  If this sounds like fun, check it out and see how great it is!  I was able to redeem $25 in Amazon gift cards for Christmas gifts last month. If you save up all year, you can really get a lot of stuff for free! Swagbucks introduced a new feature today – FREE games!  You can find a tab on the left hand side of the swagbucks.com homepage. 

Plus, when you sign up for Swagbucks today THROUGH FRIDAY 1/14, you can use the code SBGames to get an additional 30 Swag Bucks in their account.   (In addition to the 30 that you get just for signing up.)  So you can get a total of 60 Swagbucks for signing up by Friday, January 14!

You have 2 options when playing the games.  You can play for free and randomly earn 1-5 Swagbucks.  Or you can pay 3-8 Swagbucks to enter a tournament and play other people to get a chance to win 40-80 swagbucks!  OK - the shameless promotion is over!  Go try it out!
