Giveaway for parents and teachers

Hi parents and teachers!

I’ve got 5 free planners from Twinkl to give away, to help you get your year sorted with your kids or students: https://www.twinkl.com.au/the-twinkl-planner/

If you’re interested, comment your email address and I’ll tell Twinkl to send you a planner. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This post is not sponsored, I just ordered my planner and they gave me a link to send 5 free planners to others. I’ve really been enjoying using some of the Twinkl resources with my kiddo, and using some of them for prepping lesson plans for the younger grades.

So let me know if you’re interested. ๐Ÿ˜Š
