Thank you for all your great ideas on how to make test prep more interesting! That is another one of my favorite things about blogging. I can post a dilemma and you guys are right there with so many different solutions! I am very grateful.
I took a big step this weekend. I told my family members about my blog and my TpT store. Up until this point, the only people who knew about it were my husband and a few close co-workers. I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure how they would react. I come from a family of education professionals. Like, principals, hs teachers, elementary teachers, school nurses, etc. - my family has 'em all! I finally told my mom, and boy was she impressed! She was so excited she showed my dad and both of my grandmothers right away! (if any of you are reading - hi!)
Which leads me to my next point. My grandmother just retired from being a second grade teacher (like me!) and she is already giving me new ideas to create. Her first suggestion? Telling time! Such a challenge in 2nd grade! I got to it right away with the help of graphics from The 3am Teacher.
And wa-la!
I am going to be using all the games as an end of the year review. It's fun and educational!
Check it out!

What a great looking review for time! Only my husband and a few other teacher friends know about my blog too. Many of my coworkers know I sell on TpT but not the blog aspect.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that your grandma is giving you ideas! What a fun bond you must have!

Learning Is Something to Treasure
How awesome to be able to get advice and tips from your Grandmother!! I have two sisters that are educators, but other than that no one in my family is in education. Love the time unit! It is a hard concept to teach.

How awesome to get advice from your Grandma!! I too had a hard time showing my blog to my family members. My husband was so proud of it, that he was the first one to show our family members. Only a few of my colleagues know...
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous summer! Your new time unit looks fabulous!
