To say that TpT has been a blessing would be a huge understatement. I am so thankful for the impact that TpT has had on my family and for providing me with the financial stability to also help others. But it isn’t just about the financial success. I have made some wonderful, lifelong friends thanks to TpT!”

9. Terri Browne is tchrBrowne from British Columbia
Try her: Place Value Task Cards: 32 Cards with Reward Bookmarks
Her tip: “I love this product because not only is it current to their pop culture interests, it also allows students to get up and move around the classroom when they are doing Math. I print the cards and scatter them around the classroom so students go on a gallery walk to complete them. When they are finished I give them a reward bookmark that is included.”

10. PamlaJJ’s Learning Library Is From Colorado
Try this: K – 2 Word Recognition Games
Their tip: “I taught for over 20 years. Learning is always easier and retained longer when it’s presented in a fun way. The rules and format for these games can be learned in a guided reading group. Once students are familiar with them, the games can be played independently at a center. I offer a variety of other games that introduce and/or reinforce phonics skills such as my Short Vowel Card and Board Games. I encourage primary reading teachers to have a look at them.”

11. California Is Home to Kali Delamagente the Tech Teacher
Try her: K-8 Keyboard Curriculum (in 45 minutes a week)
Her tip: “Share the load — every time students sit down at a computer, they should use good habits. Get all teachers to reinforce that, whether students are in the classroom, library, study hall, or home.”
