TPT Seller Challenge: Dare to Dream

So this week's seller challenge is to blog about our dreams for our TPT store.

Here's what I think:

1. I want my TPT income to give me a sense of security, financially speaking. I like not constantly having to worry about money. I am a worrier by nature, so it is nice to worry about one less thing.

2. I really don't do much. Most days I don't even get out of pajamas:

I may be a home body and an introvert, but that doesn't mean I don't have a sense of adventure buried within me. I will say that I have been working on visiting more places recently.

I heard David Sedaris read.

I took a trip by myself to the zoo to hang out with the giraffes.

I took the dogs to High Bridge Trail

I traveled to Philly to an Ed Sheeran Concert and also got to see The Magic Gardens.

I went to D.C. to see Newsies and go to IKEA!

I've done more in the last 2 months than I have done in YEARS combined, but it makes me want to do MORE.

I am going to try to put aside a percentage of my TPT money to plan some small trips before my summer comes to a close July 31. Maybe I will even try to plan some weekend sanity trips AFTER school starts so I have milestones to look forward to.

3. This one is a long shot that will probably never come to fruition. It would be nice to eventually work from home one day. I like creating resources for teachers to use and I think that is probably what I am best at. However, I think I would worry too much about not having a steady paycheck. You never know though!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

I was looking for new ways to introduce point of view and I stumbled across a GREAT idea! Using video games! There are tons of video games in different points of view. 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:

Staples Engineering Prints

Last summer I decided that I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I painted the room purple, which i've always wanted to do, but the big thing I wanted was prints for my walls. I did a lot of research and man were prints expensive in the sizes that I wanted! Finally, I learned about Staples Engineering Prints They are super cheap, and actually print really nicely (even though the website claims they are not intended for photos). Take a look at how mine turned out (Don't mind the mess, this was still in the putting back together phase). How I did it: After my prints came in the mail, I went to Lowes and found This . All I did was trace the print on the insulation board, cut it with a regular box cutter, and paint the edges of it with a Paint Sample that accented my walls. The last step was gluing the print to the insulation board. I liked this spray the best because I could reposition the print in case I didn't line it up just so. After I got ...

Music for the Middle School Classroom

One of my most popular posts ever was my Pandora Stations for the Middle School Classroom I thought I would let you guys know about another gem that I found that my students LOVED! Rhett Price on Youtube does violin covers of current popular songs. When my classes were doing independent work I would put his channel on a playlist in the background (just listening, not watching). It was awesome to see the students bopping along and singing to themselves as they worked. ***Tip: Because my kids were so into these songs there was never a peep from anyone. If anyone dared to try to speak the rest of the class would shush them so they could keep listening. Here are a few of my students favorites: Rhett Price Youtube Channel Save Save
