Spelling Homework Menu & Something about a Sale

 I am so much more focused when I have a deadline!  I was determined to get this Spelling Homework Menu Packet  done before the sale was over.   I made it!  Though, it was already half finished and sitting on the back burner for months.   I am so excited that it is done and ready for me to use in September.  My students love picking their own spelling homework assignments and I am sure they will love this packet.  Click the image above to check it out on Teachers Pay Teachers and snag it while it is on sale.  Below is a sample activity from the packet.  I also think these would make easy centers or great early finisher activities.

Another packet, I squeezed in under the wire is this Ultimate Bright Polka Dot, Primary Penmanship Font Decor Bundle.   I listened to my Q&A’s last year requesting more primary friendly font in my decor packets.  When Kimberly Geswein came out with her Primary Penmanship font, I knew I had found the perfect font for the job.  I apologize that I have not gotten to making the leveled labels and the library labels in the primary font, but I will try to get to it this week.   Switching out fonts is not a one, two, three thing.  It messes up the whole packet.   I actually started over from scratch, in Power Point, for the packets containing the primary font.  It was just easier for me than working in Word again.  
Now, I want to re-do my decor in these!  We will see if I have time to print and laminate.  I always donate my old items to colleagues.   Everyone loves free and already laminated! 
I also finished this little birthday board set.  I am loving all the positive feedback I am getting.  Just remember if you are having trouble printing, it is probably because your computer does not have enough memory.  Try one page at a time or going to options and printing as an image.  For the newer files, I was able to shrink the size of the pdf, to try and eliminate that problem.

Thank you Amy Lemons for the adorable graphic!!

Now, you have to be living under a rock not to have heard about the BIG BACK TO SCHOOL TPT SALE.   It is huge.  Most sellers are offering 20% off and then TpT is offering 10% off with coupon code BTS13.

Here are some of my go to products that if you don’t already own, you might want to check out. Happy shopping!!!

    Rats! I was so behind on my Bloglovin' feed but saw that everyone was having a sale, that I didn't check for additional promo codes before buying your Dominoes and CC 1-120 packs. Oh well – still glad I have them!

🎂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.
