Actually two probably doesn't count as a plethora, but I did get those two awards from a plethora of people. So that counts.
Plus, I just love that word, plethora!
It reminds me of one of my favorite students, a boy with Asperger's who had an amazing vocabulary and a true love for words.
This young man taught his classmates words like brackish and plethora in a way that I never could have.
So, on to the giveaway.
As mentioned before I am giving away a $25 Starbuck's gift card to one lucky person.
Here's how to enter:
1) Follow my blog. (1 comment)
2) Blog about this giveaway. (2 comments - be sure to leave a link to your post)
That's it!
Do one or both it doesn't matter to me.
Giveaway ends on Saturday, March 17 at midnight mountain time.
The winner will be announced on Sunday.
Now onto the awards.
I was gifted with two wonderful awards by some amazing bloggers.

I received this lovely from Rebecca at Teaching First, Michelle The 3am Teacher, Krista of Stellar Students, Chrissy at Buzzing with Ms. B, Vicky from Traditions, Laughter and Happily Ever After, and Chrissy at Read Write Sing Kindergarten.
