Happy Friday!
I am ready to start this weekend with a bang and have a little giveaway.
I’m giving away $10 to TpT.
And a bunch of my friends, the Freebielicious girls to be exact, are also giving away $10 to TpT. Each.
We are each giving away $10 to TpT.
That’s a lot of ten dollar gift certificates but, seeing as how it’s Friday and my brain is fried, I didn’t add it up. It wouldn’t even really matter if it was all added up, anyway, because there is more to add. More, I said.
We’re also giving away TpT gift certificates over on the Freebielicious blog in and of itself. Insomuch as we are able to. Nevertheless and Inadvertently and Whatever Other Big Words You Can Think Of To Say That’s A Lot Of Gift Certificates!
Dang.
What’s gotten into us, I wonder.
Well, I’ll tell you.
TpT has gotten into us, that’s what.
TpT has literally changed my life. That might sound dramatic (and you know how I can be dramatic), but I am actually being quite honest. Honestly.
Here are just three examples of why I love TpT (and I’m lettering them, rather than numbering them because, as I said, it’s Friday, and my brain is fried):
a) I am a better teacher. Do I even need to explain this? Aren’t we all better teachers because of TpT? I mean, hello?
b) I have made amazing friends in the virtual world because of TpT. And I love friends. One can never have too many friends, especially the virtual kind because they don’t ever come over unannounced or borrow something without returning it for months on end.
c) TpT went above and beyond to help me in the fundraiser for my student, Jon. I am so unbelievably thankful and grateful for all of their help, support, and dedication in making it a successful fundraiser. Wow. I mean, I am STILL blown away.
I could go on and on and on, but I will stop. Plus, you have a lot of hopping to do if you want to increase your chances of winning all of the gift certificates. I don’t know if there is a mathematical equation to figure out your odds, but if there is, I’m not your girl. You should ask someone else. I’m no help.
Now hop on over to Tammy’s!

TpT has definitely made me a better teacher! It has also made me more fun…can anyone say Candy Corn Bandit and Sweetheart Snatcher????
Thanks for the opportunity to win a gift certificate! (And for all of your funny posts; you are a go-to blog for me at the end of long, trying days…not that I have any of those days in public education. Nope; no sir; not one!)

I love TPT!! It has made me a better teacher and saved me so much time on lesson planning. Thank you!
Laura Scheunemann says
I agree with the better teacher comment. I've always been passionate about finding or creating the best resources but I can't believe how much TPT (and Pinterest) have done to EXPAND that passion and help turn it into a reality. I love how much it makes me reflect on what's going well and what I could be doing better.
Kim Valera says
I've been thrilled with the great materials I've found on TpT, and all of the awesome bloggers I've found to follow as well! Thanks for everything you share!

I love that I can get something on TpT instantly at home or school. It's like a teacher store on steroids.
Liz M. says
I had the pleasure of finding TPT in November of 2012. I couldn't believe how many resources were available. As teachers we spend so much money, why not spend it on something that specifically meets the needs of our students. Thanks TPT and to all those teachers that share their hard work with the rest of us.
Andrea L. says
I totally agree with you about TpT making me a better teacher! It is the best place to find resources. I am so appreciative of all the amazing teachers that make my life so much easier and make my teaching so much better!
Cherie says
I love your resources!
CarolP says
TPT and following teacher blogs has changed my way of teaching very much. I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from other teachers and I often feel like I've received a new training after reading what others have written. I too feel like I've made a lot of new friends also! Carol
PS- We did your Valentine's Day Reader's Theater yesterday- the kids LOVED it! Thanks.
Jennifer Reynolds says
TPT has put the "fun" back in teaching and helping my students learn–despite the emphasis on Common Core! It has also provided me with a creative outlet and a collaborative forum! I wish I had not waited so long to join the adventure!
Your Reader's Theater sets are the highlight of our fluency lessons! Thanks so much!
Lori Raines says

Samantha Rigby says
TPT could not have come at a better time! I had just finished my first year of teaching (what a tough one!) and found TPT. It completely revolutionized the way I taught and gave me the guidance I wasn't getting from my team members. My bloggers on TPT became my support group and have made me a better teacher. Thanks TPT and teachers!
Joyfully,
