Argghhh! Pirates!

Although I am away on vacation, you are with me in spirit. Follow along with my daily itinerary and snag the deal of the day that relates to it.

As for the deal of the day:

ALL OF MY CLASSROOM THEME PACKETS are marked 20% off!!!

We'll be flying out of Tampa today. Tampa is home to the Buccaneers and the Gasparilla Festival. Both translate into PIRATES!

Throughout the month of June, I ran a Classroom Theme Series and featured a different popular classroom theme each day. Since I am on vacation this week I am "rerunning" some of my popular posts that relate.
