I followed so many new faces this month! Visit and follow me on Instagram so that you can follow them too!
I have loved participating in this month long TpT Seller Challenge and getting to talk to so many awesome teachers! Thanks again to the awesome hosts (Sparkling in Second, Peppy Zesty Teacherista, Third in Hollywood, and Teach Create Motivate)!
I am super excited to be part of a new Facebook group #secondgradetribe, started by Tara at Teaching in CLE.
If you're a second grade teacher, join us! Collaboration is everything.
I'm going to keep this post about my TpT dreams short and sweet! Thanks again to the awesome hosts (Sparkling in Second, Peppy Zesty Teacherista, Third in Hollywood, and Teach Create Motivate)!
In general, my overall goal with TPT, my job as a teacher, my life as a mom and a wife is to just keep learning all that I can. I want to stay hungry and always be aiming to better myself. I want to get to a point where I'm super confident in my role as an educator and I know that will come with knowledge and experience.
I'm going into my third year of teaching so I'm still fresh, I'm still green. I want to hold onto that feeling for as long as I can. If I can stay inspired by this amazing profession, then it will show in my work, it will show in my creativity, and it will spill over into what I share on TPT.
Keep dreaming! I will never stop having something to look forward to. I will always be challenging myself even in small ways. I'm thankful to be somewhat part of a community full of dreamers! You guys are inspiring.
Yay! I love a good linky. Kudos to the ladies of Sparkling in Second, Peppy Zesty Teacherista, Third in Hollywood, and Teach Create Motivate for coming up with this great idea!
Week 1 challenges us to makeover a product that needs a facelift. I certainly had one. My Reading Growth Chart is one of the first things I made for my classroom and posted to TpT. I made it in Word! THE HORROR! And it took me forever!!!!!! Live and learn ☺
I've made it more kid friendly/cuter, with better fonts, more colorful (and a b&w option), and added a page for monthly reading goals. I'm much happier with it and I think you will be too! The chart and goal tracker can be used for K-5th.
I love having my students keep track of any kind of data they can. They are always excited when they move up a reading level! I want to encourage them to keep track of these milestones so they can see the progress they've made. They should also know what they need to work on to reach their goals, hence why I created a goal sheet.
I'm enjoying seeing all of your makeovers already! Can't wait for the next three challenges!
