In this post, I reveal how well-organized I am, and as a result, you now have a bird's eye view of every educational digital download available in my TpT store.
Hello, Teachers and Friends,
One thing I love about Teachers Pay Teachers is that it has forced me to become more organized. I am not naturally an organized person. In Kindergarten, my teachers bewailed my lunchroom messiness; in middle school, I barely kept my Trapper Keeper intact. However, flash forward to 2022 — and I have at least become more organized on TpT and in my own teaching practice.
Remember when you used to receive the Sears catalog as a kid, and you would circle in red marker the items you wanted and hoped mom or dad would notice? You are an adult with a bank account, so you don't have to beg Mom or Dad. But you can click the link and add to your wish list any of the items listed. Not going to brag, but you will be delighted. As recent buyers have said:
"Thank you for scaffolding the reading into manageable reading chunks and providing writing opportunities."
- Margie
"Love [your] products! Very thought-provoking. I used [it for] distance learning with students in zoom class."
- Aron
So, there you go.
