Thank you Kacey for the linky!
Whew! Today is a half day for our students (7:40-12:30) and then we have a Professional Development until 4:30. We also had a SNOW DAY yesterday (a BIG deal for us)!
Did everyone enjoy the mega sale?
I tried SO hard to keep it together with my TPT purchases during the Super Sale to celebrate teacher heroes. I REALLY tried.
But I'm working on this portfolio...
Don't look too close...I've already fixed the grammatical errors ;)
This portfolio plus FOUR courses will all be done by April 12th. That's exactly 50 days if anyone's counting.
In 50 days I will be free from all of this...and I keep telling myself how blessed I am. I have this monster project (that will be SO worth it when it's done) and have to work on it when the weather is downright AWFUL, I have an endless supply of coffee, there's no major holidays I'm missing out on...
I even got a bonus snow day to knock out a few artifacts!
I've been really focused and trying to put on blinders to all the wonderful products and ideas that I see other teachers posting. I can't even take the time to write them down, but I've pinned a few. I also have been creating like crazy to meet my students' needs. Later this spring I'll be able to bundle them up and share.
So, I've been super disciplined...until yesterday. Yesterday, it all got to me! The stress of the portfolio and a little cabin fever led to TPT shopping! I did THREE rounds!
THREE!
I picked up some fabulous deals...I'll have to stop back and post some TPT Treasures once I've had the opportunity to try them out with my own students.
I visited Sasha from The Autism Helper, Sonya DeHart (gorgeous art!), and Kaitlyn Albani, just to name a few.
What wonderful resources did you add to your bag of tricks?
Please share :)
Ohhh, you just have to love a sale, right? I bought a lot of clip art and digital backgrounds! In fact I included that in my Five for Friday, too! Have a great weekend- or at least try to. Sounds like you are using your superhuman powers to get some projects done!

Teachers Are Terrific!
lol, three rounds of shopping. I like how that sounds. I did two rounds last night, but not at TPT. I needed some bright spring clothes to take the place of the dark gray and black winter stuff in my closet, so I hit up a few websites. Nothing like retail therapy, is there?! Good luck with the portfolio. You can do it!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Sounds like you are balancing a lot at a busy time of the school year! Those TPT purchases will be worth it in the end!
