Pirates, Penguins, and Pugs: Photos from My Week

I thought I would do a quick post to share some of the cute things I have been doing this week with my class!  Click on the photos to check out the packets.  Click here to check out my lesson plans for this week.

 We actually made Abby‘s Pirate Mark last week.  I saved him and hung him up with the finished Pirate Art and Math Centers from this week.

 This is a new center I just added to my pirate packet.  I also added essential questions.  If you have already purchased the packet, please re-download for the updates!

My students loved DeeDee‘s center.  The kids who were not at the center were counting how many center rotations until they got to go.  It is amazing what a little timer, a race against yourself, and some cute graphics will do to motivate them!   
Sarah is so cute and talented.  She made the pug clip art herself! You also must check out her latest penguin freebie.  She introduced me to the book Pink! years ago and created this adorable craft to go with it. 

Almost Friday!!! TGIF

    Erica,
    Don't you wish they would give us a PD day on how to make our own clip art!
    Those precious pugs are so cute! I like your center idea, and the photo really helps!
    I would also love a PD trip to spend the day seeing you in action with the kiddos! Thanks for sharing your week with us!

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.
