Gordon wrote that his "Kids loved it!" I hope your students enjoy this too. Teachers say this was a "Great way to review for end of the year test." I know from personal experience that the best review is a short and sweet one. Your students know what you have taught them and a quick refresher is a great way to motivate and reassure them that they can SHOW what they KNOW on the test.

Happy Reviewing!

Earn TpT Credits by Providing Feedback

Yes! IT's TRUE!!! I buy all of my fonts, clip art, and other teacher resources on TpT every day of the year and then provide those sellers with a fair rating and comment. I love this feature about TpT and that's why I'm telling you about it, so that you can receive discounts on items for your classroom OR maybe even FREE resources that you have EARNED!

Here's how it works:
1) You receive one TpT Credit for every $ you spend on TpT when you Provide Feedback — both a fair rating and a fair comment — on the items that you purchase. 
2) Every 100 Credits is worth $5 that you can apply towards future TpT purchases, but there’s no need to wait until you have 100 to redeem them. 20 credits are worth $1.00, for example!

To date I have only received about 20% feedback from other teachers. That means that 80% of teachers are MISSING OUT on FREE $$ to gain more resources for their classroom. This is another great feature about TpT and I hope you take advantage of it too!

Happy Discounting,

Tips for Teacher Wellbeing during the Busy Work Week

Happy Spring Break! We just made it to Spring Break 2017! Woot woot! During Spring Break every year I like to relax, reflect, and then do a lot more relaxing. Your energy and wellbeing should be the most important thing you invest in every day. Here are some things to reflect on during your Spring Break and hopefully they help you get to the end the school year with a better wellbeing.

1. Do I have a morning schedule where I take 2-5 minutes to relax before the students arrive?
Try arriving at school early (I understand not everyone can do this) and schedule two to five minutes before your students arrive to visualize your day, relax/sit quietly and clear your head (or say a prayer). Make a list of things that help you relax and choose one to focus on during that morning  time.  

2. Think about how things went FOR YOU (not the students) this past quarter, excellent, good, or okay?
Think about and watch for things that start to worry you and take remedial action. Take deep breaths, forgive ourselves and others, and take brain breaks when available. Think about your schedule, did you get enough sleep, social time, and refreshment scheduled in? Think about your teacher talk, were you more positive or negative? Identify people who help you, give you confidence, and people/things that give you energy to teach.

Need more help?
There are lots of other resources and instructional aides to help make your day LESS stressful and more rewarding. Check out www.teacherspayteachers.com for more resources to help you be the best YOU!
