Visual Plans, a Freebie, and a Winner

 Sorry, that these are so late.  It was a busy weekend.  Anyway, here are my visual plans for the week. Click the pictures to download.  I have attached the freebie to the plans.

  

*This plan book format is called “Erica.”  Click here to check it out in Ms. M‘s A Teacher’s Plan Store.
**My visual plans are inspired by DeeDee Wills’ visual plans.  I am linking up with her again this week. 

 

New for this week: 
I created a Singular and Plural Words ending in -y and -ies Search/Read/Write the Room.  The pictures match the words and a sorting/recording sheet is included.
I am using two packets by my friend, Cara Carroll:
I cannot wait!  She is super talented.
Rachelle Smith‘s Desk Fairy Packet!  Sorry, I forgot to add the picture to my visual plans.
Here is my freebie, it goes with DK Games: Silly Sentences.  This center is a favorite of my students and I have had the puzzle Silly Sentences for years, so worth the $8.99!
Now for the 4,000 FB Facebook Fan Mega Winner:
Congratulations to Kelly Keifer Cappell!
My Spring Break is over…boo.  Happy Spring break to those of you off this week.  Thanks for stopping by!

    I have the Silly Sentence game and my students love it! The recording sheet will be a great addition, but when I click on it I just get the screen sheet. Is this available in Google Docs or your store for a download? Thanks for all of your great ideas!

🎂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.
