My Teachers Pay Teachers Store

My Teachers Pay Teachers Store



I was so excited to sell my first product on my TPT store. Then I thought what is another day to get the word out about my store. AHA.... I realized that showing my products on my blog would be a easy way for people to have a quick overview of my store. Enjoy and if you want to buy just click on the link below the images. 

Feel free to give me feedback if you buy my products. I am just starting out and could use all the help in making my products better. 


Valentine's Day Mailbox

This download will give you the templates to create your own mailbox. I know it is labeled a Valentine Mailbox, you can decorate it to be any type of mailbox. All you need for this mailbox is the templates and some tape, although you could use glue but it would be a little more challenging. 






St. Patrick's Day Trinity Wheel



This wheel is a good tool in connecting the Trinity to St. Patrick's day. It is simple to color, cut and put together.









My Animal Book


This book was created as a mini research project, because I wanted my students to find details about their animal and too many of them were too difficult for my little first graders. This is a simple draw and fill in the blank book that they can make about any animal.

MLK Day

Dr. Marin Luther King Day

The last few days we have been learning about Dr. Martin Luther King.

We started by reading the American Girl story of Addy, to give the students some background on what slavery was, and how it impacted the people being enslaved. 

My students loved it, and were even more excited to see the doll. It was kind of like seeing her in real life. 



Next we created a book about Dr. Kings life. Just a few facts about him so that they got to understand some of the things we went through.

Next we learned a song about M.L.K. The song worked because it wan't too wordy and it was very easy to learn.
