It breaks my heart because it’s true that teache It breaks my heart because it’s true that teachers are overworked, underappreciated, and certainly underpaid. No wonder teachers are leaving the profession in droves. Something really needs to be done, am I right?! 🥲🙌🏻

A great reminder for the first few weeks back at s A great reminder for the first few weeks back at school!

If you are about to be teaching beginning writers in kindergarten or first grade, I do think that the ideas on this graphic should be worked on first. 🙌🏻

A drawing and labeling pictures unit is a great idea for the first few weeks. ✍🏻 

I also think that quite a few weeks should be focused on writing lists, sentence stems, and teaching explicitly how to write a sentence before you dive into genre based units, such as narrative writing.

Do you agree?

Daily writing opportunities are the best way for students to become proficient writers 🙌🏻

When we learn a new skill, we need a lot of practice am I right? The same goes for our students 🙂

Why I don’t like writing prompt task cards. Are Why I don’t like writing prompt task cards.

Are you looking for an engaging way to teach opinion and narrative writing?

I see lots of task cards prompts out there. But here’s the thing, task cards often need so much prep (laminating, cutting and even color printing too)!

If you’re time poor, these no prep prompts are perfect!

Also, task card prompts mean that students are often just writing on a blank piece of paper.

Reluctant writers and students who hate writing rarely find that engaging.

The cute clip art on these worksheets is great! 

Finally, task card prompts mean that students are left to their own devices. There is no scaffolding or support for your struggling writers.

These activities have sentence frames and guidance!

These writing prompts are best sellers in my store. I have kindergarten through to fifth grade options. If you’re interested, let me know in the comments and I can send you a link!

Ooh and don’t forget that TpT is having a 25% off sale right now!

Is the financial side of our business the most fun Is the financial side of our business the most fun part? Probably not! 😂 But it certainly is very important. 

I definitely recommend checking out this week’s episode of the The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast. 🎙 

My amazing guest Katherine @kpt.cpa chats with me all about things like sales tax, bookkeeping, LLCs, business bank accounts, and more! 💰💸

I certainly left feeling inspired to be a bit more organized about my expenses!

Double tap if you will be listening 🙂

I just wanted to share this reminder because as TP I just wanted to share this reminder because as TPT sellers it’s common for us to always be working towards our next goal or lamenting over the thing we haven’t achieved yet. 

But every day that you sell a product, gain a follower, or do/learn something new in your business, that’s an amazing win!

Take the time to celebrate the positive things today 🙌🏻 what’s a win you’ve had lately?

This is something I wish I’d known years ago!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤯

You see, I kept making these really small resources. I’m talking low page count, or resources can only be used by a teacher for a lesson or two.

Why is this an issue? Well, there was a ceiling on how much I could charge for these tiny resources. I ended up with a store full of one and two dollar products.

Small products aren’t evil! 😂

But, the truth is that bigger products have the potential to offer more value for teachers and therefore you can charge more. Higher priced items, and even things like bundles, are truly where the money is 💵💰💸

If you sell 50 $1 products, you only end up with $50 (actually less after fees)!

But if you sell 50 $10 products, that’s $500! 

Tell me below - Do you have a lot of small/cheap products in your store like me? Is this something you also need to work on? 🙂

So, I took a break from IG and…my business didn’t crumble and the world didn’t end! 😱

This week on the terrific teacherpreneur podcast, I’m sharing about how I took some time off from my TpT store’s Instagram account.

I talk about what happened and I give you the reassurance that taking a break isn’t a bad thing.

Do you ever take breaks from social media? Are you thinking you want to? Tell me below!

Should you be on Instagram or TikTok? Wait, what a Should you be on Instagram or TikTok? Wait, what about Facebook and Pinterest? Or should you be doing blogging and email? What about a podcast or YouTube?

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

As TpT sellers, there’s so much choice when it comes to marketing platforms.

🤔 As a newer seller, you might be wondering which platform to start.

🤔 As a seasoned seller, you might be wondering which platform to prioritize.

Listening to what other sellers recommend isn’t always ideal.

It’s far better to choose a platform that suits your business and personality. 

❌ An introvert who hates being on video is probably not going to find TikTok very profitable.

That’s why this week on The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast, we’re talking all about choosing the right platform for you!

Psst! There’s a link in my bio to a quick 1 minute quiz that I created that will tell you your perfect marketing platform 😱

Tell me, have you listened to the episode yet and taken the quiz? If so, what was your result? 🙂
