Brinca Into Bilingual (Mrs. Nicolau): Educents Launch & Giveaway!!!

We got great news!!! Educents is opening a marketplace, which means now you can purchase items from seller stores any day!! That is in addition to the great deals they already offer! There are over 500 stores in the marketplace for you to save some money!!
Some great bloggers and I are joining together on this blog hop to introduce ourselves and show you the great products we have in our stores!!

Thank you for stopping my blog today!! I am Mrs. Nicolau and I am a bilingual teacher in Texas. I am originally from Peru and came to the states on my own (going to a private school to learn English) when I was 19 years old. My mom and sister came after I did; after living a year in Nebraska and 5 years in Maryland, I got married to my amazing husband and moved here in Texas with him :) We have an adorable 10-month-old baby who I called "pollita" (it means little chick in Spanish). I have taught second, third and Prek; However, I am currently staying at home with my precious bundle of joy and I wouldn't change it for anything! If you are a parent you might know how difficult it is when you have children, but you also know that there is nothing in this world that could replace the joy and love of having them, and mine is only 10 months! I can't wait to feel more of these amazing feelings as she grows up!
I try my best to focus my free time (what is that?) in creating educational products. I have a long list of ideas that I have not been able to finish or start before while I was teaching. So this is the time that I am using to get to this list.

This was in December when Pollita was about 7 months

I am bright new to Educents, so I invite you to stop by storefront and check out my products!

I really love teaching. However, besides that, I have several hobbies. The only problem that I have is that I never have enough time to do them all!! :( I love reading, I am one of those book worms that could spend all day sitting on a couch and read a book. So I try not to do it at night because then I would not be able to sleep; believe me, you don't want to see me without having a decent good night sleep (I said decent, because I stopped knowing what real sleeping means 10 months ago, lol).

I also love scrapbooking!! I discovered it when I got married. I spent money on it, but I had just been able to do two albums in 7 years!! Truth to be told, I don't know when I will be able to do a third one... but I just love it!

Last one (I promise this is the last one, I could go on and on), I LOVEEEEE going to the beach! I don't believe in reincarnation, but I think I might have been a dolphin or a mermaid (no wait, I am not near to look like one!! lol). There is something about the sun, water, and sand that takes me away and makes my soul happy!! I love getting a good tang and just laying down on a towel! Even better if I have a good book on my hands!! We are looking forward to this summer, since "pollita" will be old enough to be outside (not for so long of course).

I am so happy and excited to present this NEW freebie! I have several that I have created since I started teaching, but this is a bright new one! I have been working on giveaways and blog post lately that I have not been able to finish a Freebie in several weeks.
This Freebie can be used mainly for 1st and 2nd grade; however, I think it can be used also in Kindergarten with a little bit of guide by the teacher. This Freebie comes in both English and Spanish languages :)

Two students can work together to work on this. Each get a bunny with a wheeler; they spin it and mark on their laminated graph with a dry-erase marker. They stop spinning once any of the items have reached the top. MAKE SURE THEY DON'T ERASE THEY RESULTS, THEY'LL BE USING IT ON THEIR BOOKLET.

Next, they record their result on their paper graph.

Once they finished recording it on the graph sheet (they need to color the eggs as well), they can start writing their conclusions on the question section.
