TpT Seller Challenge: Make Your Masterpiece

     Week three of the TpT Seller Challenge had us making a new product, and swapping with another seller to get feedback. I loved swapping. It's always good have a second pair of eyes look over things. I had two products I was working on that I decided to finish up for this challenge.

     The first product is a freebie that could be used as a literacy station or guided practice activity. I'll use it as guided practice, and then move it to an early finisher activity or literacy station. If you are a Texas teacher, it is TEKS aligned. The TEKS are on the color and black and white covers.

     You can download Synonyms Are Oh So Sweet! here.

    My second product is a sight word game. Erin Bradley has this adorable chevron mugs and donuts clip art that I just had to have. I also wanted to make a sight word game that I could use with my students and my boys to practice our words at home.

     Oh Donuts! A Sight Word Game is on sale for 50% off for 48 hours. You can purchase it here.

TpT Seller Challenger: Dare to Dream

     I really had a hard time deciding what my dreams are in regards to my TpT store. When I originally started my store a couple of years ago, it was to help out other teachers and try to make a little money back on the time I spent prepping materials for my classroom.

     I realize that while my original intentions have remained; my motivation has grown.

     Three years ago, I left my full time kindergarten teaching job for a part time first grade science and fourth grade math job. I have loved working two days a week. I want to ensure that I will continue to have the ability to teach part time.

     Growing up my family was not able to take many vacations, and I want to be able to travel with my boys and give them first hand experiences I never had.

     This morning we went out to leave for Vacation Bible School, and I had a flat tire. Thankfully my husband was closing tonight, so he had not left for work yet. While I drop Grammie and the boys off at church, Joshua took care of the tire. I wasn't sure if we had a spare for my car, or if we would have the money to fix it until he was paid. (We bought the car used a couple of years ago, which is why I wasn't sure about the spare.) I was immediately stressed and worried. I would love to not stress when these unexpected expenses arise.

Makeover Madness: Science Learning Fun

     I'm excited to be joining in the TpT Seller Challenge! I updated my Science Learning Fun unit.

      I had updated the class book covers when I used them this past year. I had also created a couple of more measurement activities I needed to add to the unit.  I also updated the product cover and my preview to include every page of the unit.

     This unit will be on sale through Monday, June 22nd.
