Chicago: My Kind of Town

This past weekend was a blast!  I met up with my a wonderful group of bloggers/teachers in Chicago.   These ladies and I have become close friends over the past two years of blogging/selling on TpT.  It is amazing that we live all over the USA but still have so much in common.   We threw Amy a baby shower, you can click {here} to read her post.

It was fun to put voices with faces!  Everyone “loved” my New York accent…or at least they told me they did!  They kept making me say “dog,” “walk,” and “drawer.”  They were also surprised that I have a really young sounding soft voice and I am not some harsh New Yorker.  I was not really surprised by anyone, except maybe Abby.  She is so tall and skinny!

I way overpacked and had no room for my good camera, so I stole a lot of pictures from her!  Thank you Amy!!!

To the city of Chicago, I really loved you!  You are so much cleaner than NYC and the shopping was just as good!

It is really amazing how TeachersPayTeachers and blogging has changed my life for the better.  I feel blessed to have these wonderful ladies in my life.   So thank you Paul, for helping to bring us all together!

    Looks like a blast! You all have changed the lives of so many teachers (me being one of them) with your greatness. I am thankful for each and every one of you fantastic ladies for being so giving, fun, and just a key stroke away for advise or just a shoulder to lean on. I think the next meet-up should be here in the Mile High City : ) Colorado would love to host such an event!

Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students Teacher truth: class sizes matter to both students and teachers. 

It is a Sunday night and I am at home prepping for the week.  As a 25 year veteran teacher, I should have everything done.  I should be able to get everything done at school but I can’t.  Maxed out classes sizes mean that I can get much less prepping done during my preps. 

If you are a tired and frustrated teacher of a maxed out class.  I hear you and am right there with you.

I absolutely LOVED that our PTA made it free this year.  It made all 25 students very happy.  How does your school handle the pumpkin patch.

Many years ago when TpT was at its peak, I thought Many years ago when TpT was at its peak, I thought of leaving and becoming a full time teacher-author. But there were way too many reasons for me not to, like that I loved my job, that I was single, that being a teacher in NY meant I had good benefits, tenure, and a pension.  So I brushed that thought off and continued on teaching.  I continued on sharing resources with you and worked at a pace that was reasonable for someone teaching full-time and navigating life’s challenges. 
My heart goes out to all the teachers who did leave and have became teacher entrepreneurs. I know you are struggling with what to do now that TpT has changed their parameters.  I wish you success in whatever you decide. 
But this post is for all the teachers in classrooms who have stuck with me, asked my thoughts, and wondered what I was going to do next.  Well, I’m not changing a thing because I have only ever sold digital teaching resources on TpT and I will continue to do so. 
I want to thank you for your continued support your likes, comments, and shares always make my day. I love being able to share teaching resources with you and hopefully I have saved you time and maybe made you laugh once in a while. ❤️Erica
