Dare to Dream: Week 2 TPT Seller Challenge

It's week two of the Teachers Pay Teachers Seller Challenge hosted by Teach Create Motivate, Sparkling in Second Grade, Third in Hollywood, and Peppy Zesty Teacherista. I'm a little late to the game because I spent most of this week at the beach! 

Just looking at that pictures makes me relax! 

This week is all about dreaming big and thinking about my goals in this whole Teachers Pay Teachers journey. 

Extra spending money is a nice perk of being a TPT seller. I like to use the extra money to buy gifts, do a little shopping for myself, and sometimes things for my classroom. My goal for the future is to eventually be able to use the income from TPT to take some nice vacations with my husband! 

Being a seller on TPT challenges me and keeps me on my toes. Now more than ever I'm looking for new, creative ways to help my students learn and practice the basics. I love that it keeps me reading and searching for the best practices in my classroom! 

Since I've started selling on TPT I've discovered that I love fonts and clip art! One of my favorite parts of creating a product is designing the layout and cover pages. It's like an easy, less messy form of scrapbook and paper crafting! Not to mention that font and clip art shopping are super fun! 

I Just Opened My Teachers Pay Teachers Store!!

Good Morning! I have a very exciting announcement today - I now have a Teachers Pay Teachers store! Yay!! Opening a store has been on my list of things I'd like to do since I started blogging and with one week left to go in the summer I finally did it! 

So far there aren't a lot of products in my store, but almost everything there is a freebie! You can click on the image below to visit my store. My free download is a reading freebie that I haven't featured here on the blog.

While you're there I'd love it if you would follow me! I only have one follower (thank you to my follower)!! 

The one paid item in my store is a 16-page novel unit for Raymond and Graham Rule the School by Mike Knudson and Steve Wilkinson. If you've been reading this blog any amount of time I'm sure you've heard me talk about this book. It is my all time favorite read aloud with 4th graders. I always start out the year with this book because it is laugh-out-loud 'til you cry funny and I want to make sure my students know that reading can be fun!
