TPT Challenge: My Masterpiece

When the TPT challenge came out last week to make our masterpiece, I immediately knew that I wanted to create a Step up to Writing prezi. I've been meaning to do it for about 4 years, but every time I started to make one, I lost interest. I do what I set out to do and created the prezi:



 Even though I know it is all just for fun, it really just kept bugging me to say that this product was my "Masterpiece"

That's when I decided that I should be spending my time working on my REAL masterpiece...my entire english curriculum. That has been my baby for the last four years and it needed a lot of updating and work.

I spent the last week and a half (even when I was on my mini vacation) re-structuring the entire curriculum, making sure my entire store was included, redoing the entire preview, redoing many of the products within it, and making sure that it really was more worthy of the title "masterpiece" (if I do say so myself).

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.
