Hooray for 25! :-) My first give-away? I think so!

Tonight, I logged on to find out that I had reached 25 followers! This may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but it was REALLY exciting for me! So, I decided to give something back!  I love presents and figured you would too.  ;-) 

I am hosting my first give-away! It is for a $20 gift card to Amazon.com! I like Amazon because you can basically buy anything, personal or for your classroom, and also the gift card can be e-mailed.

I don't know if this applies to anyone else - but if you are a teacher and a student (I'm talking even ONE class), you can sign up for what is basically the student version of Amazon Prime. It's free and all you need is an .edu email address. Find out more here.  Who doesn't love free 2-day shipping?

So...onto the details....you get 1 entry for each comment you leave telling me the following:
- begin (or already are) following The First Grade Splash
- blogging about the give-away (leave me your blog address!  I'll want to start following you too!)
- adding my button
- adding my blog to your blog list/roll

I'll choose a winner on Tuesday (July 19th) at midnight (U.S. east coast time!)

On a related note...I would love it if someone who has done these before could give me advice as to how you number your posts and choose them randomly.  haha, I should have probably figured that out beforehand...oh well! :-) 

Good luck! And THANK YOU for being my first 25 followers!  I'm so happy right now!
