Make over obsession

I am currently in a complete and utter obsessive state!

I decided that I would spend the time this summer to make over my TPT store.

That led me down a rabbit hole to my current obsessive state.

I thought I would share with you guys. You might find it interesting, especially if you are TPT sellers yourselves.

I downloaded my product list from TPT and copied the list into an Excel spreadsheet. For each product in my store I am doing the following things:

1. I download it from TPT and check it over to see if it needs any updates.

2. I decide if the product needs a new preview.

3. I read the product description and see if anything needs to be added.

4. I decide if it needs a cover page or not. In the past I have not used cover pages, but I started teaching myself how to use PicMonkey.com. Now I feel like EVERY product needs its own cover page.

I'm spending a LOT of time looking/creating on Picmonaey

5. I save the TPT product link to an excel file that I found at: http://tptschool.com/teachers-pay-teachers-product-link-generator/

This automatically creates codes so that I can place hyperlinks in my product descriptions.

6. I reupload the file and add hyperlinks to similar products to the product description.

7. I save the made over product in a curriculum folder. I have not updated my Entire English Curriculum in two years, so I figured it was time.

I have been working nonstop the last four days and I am only about halfway through.

Take a look at the updated cover pages I have so far!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

Halo=First person point of view Mario 64= Second person point of view Tomb Raider=Third person limited point of view The Sims=Third person omniscient point of view A great video overview that I found:

Teacher tip: Paint Your Bulletin Board

One of the things that I hate every. single. year. is putting bulletin board paper up! It never fits properly and trying to line the various pieces of paper up is so frustrating as well! I tried many different solutions over the years. I tried sheets, I tried fabric, I tried shower curtains. Finally, I had an idea! PAINT (Cue hallelujah chorus music) I decided to paint my bulletin board with a pretty universal color that would show up in most borders or could transform into a specific background if need be. (I recommend a blue!) I got a quart of pain and a roller and I went to town! It's great! It doesn't need to be replaced, it doesn't fade in the over time, and it can be reused over and over again!

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! : Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be! I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon.
