At the beginning of 2018 I had the goal of trying to a monthly post, but I had such a difficult time trying to keep up with posting on the last day of the month...whenever I do blog, it takes me a long time, usually several different times of sitting down and working on the photo collages I make, the subtitles, writing, and adding links.  I got so very discouraged...this post was originally started back in April, but wasn't close to being ready to publish...then I thought I would combine April & May, then I just abandoned it...I want to put it out there though, even if just one ..read more

Last week I was so blessed to attend the Get Your Teach On National Conference in San Diego.  This conference was started by Deanna Jump & Hope King.  The focus of the conference was student engagement.  There were so many amazing presenters!  The energy was incredible during the whole 2 1/2 days!  2,500 teachers were pumped about teaching and you could see it, feel it, and hear it! I was so glad to see my online & Teacher Meet Up friend Amy! We were in the 3rd-grade sessions together!  Melissa, my good friend, and first-grade teacher at my school atten ..read more

January Post~My Word for the Year & ADHD

I know that today is FEBRUARY 1st, but since I only came up with the idea of trying to post the last day of the month just a few days ago, I am giving myself some grace.  I figured that way I can collect ideas during the month, add to it as things happen and then publish on the last day of the month.  I think this might be the right plan for me.  I really do want to blog, even if it is just for me to look back at years from now. I do enjoy blogging when I don't let myself get stressed out or overwhelmed.  Back in 2014, I decided to go with the idea of choosing a word for ..read more

UPDATE: Yesterday I returned from the TpT Conference, which I hope to blog about this week, and during the conference, I started researching whether or not quotes are copyrighted.  It appears to be a very gray area, but until I have more information the picture of the product title WILL NOT link to the product.  I have temporarially made the product inactive.  My heart is aching over this as I have invested so much time and energy into this set of quotes, but integrity means more to me than profit.  When I have it back in my store I hope to do a new launch.   ..read more

What an AMAZING weekend I had last week!! I went up to Monterey to enjoy a fun day with teachers and TpTers from all over the Pacific Coast.  Last year the Meet Up was in Sacramento and many teachers from last year were back for this Meet Up.  I drove about 6 hours with my daughter & met up with my sister who had driven in from Sacramento to stay with us and spend the day with Sieanna while I was with the teachers. My sister, daughter, and I started our day checking out beautiful, large, colorful, metal flowers on the way into the meet up spot.  They dropped me off and th ..read more

#10 Parent Communication Without Compromising my Privacy This year I had almost all of my parents sign up with Class Dojo.  I loved that I could shoot parents a quick message without my phone number showing.  I communicated individually with 20 different parents this year.  The conversations were sometimes questions parents had about homework, letting parents know when after school tutoring was canceled, parents letting me know that their child was sick that day, communicating with parents about behavior issues & more! It works just like you are texting the parent ..read more

I have been preparing to write this post for DAYS.  I am finally ready to write the post that has been on my heart for the last week or so. Our country has been going through some troubling days.  I had been visiting family in Northern California and there was no news on, what I learned at the time was through social media & it broke my heart...death, anger, hatred, violence, loss, pain, frustration...I thought I would post the words of Dr. King as my response, but I came across these words of John F. Kennedy: I created this on my phone & posted it 5 days ago, but I kept th ..read more

I hope you have all had a great Teacher Appreciation Week!  If you are a TpT buyer, I hope you got some great deals {I DID! :D}, if you are a TpT seller I hope you sold a lot {none for me this time, but not giving up!}.
