A Back to School Freebie for You! I can't believe that I've been back to school for nearly three weeks now! I've been cleaning, doing inventory, processing books, going to professional development, and so on. Our kids start on Tuesday, and I'm hustling to get everything just right! I bet you know exactly how I feel... and you deserve a treat! So... if you're one of my TpT followers (and you read my recent note) you know that I decided to offer a little back to school freebie today (8/11/2019) especially for my website visitors! Click the link below and enjoy some cute little Dewey neighborhood puzzles that are perfect for our youngest students. Using This Back to School Freebie in Your Library I use these puzzles with my K-1 students after reading the book Do You Know Dewey? by Brian Cleary. While I'm reading, we take a little walking tour around the library. The first time around, we count the Dewey categories by 100s, pointing to the signage. Then, we make a second pass, ...

TpT for Schools
Want to Save Money on TpT Resources? Have you heard of TpT for Schools yet? Before I was a TpT author, I bought MANY TpT resources for my school library. (Actually, I STILL buy a lot of TpT resources for my library!) Today, I'm set on helping you and your librarian friends get the most for your money when buying TpT resources. You won't want to miss my tip about sharing your favorite resources by buying your friends a discounted license! It's easy! Also, I'll help you support your teachers by describing how the TpT for Schools program works.

Why You Should Click TpT’s Green Follow Me Star
So, What’s Up with the Green Star? Have you noticed the tiny green “Follow Me” star on each TpT author's page? You may wonder, "What is that for and does it increase my TpT customer service in any way?" Well, yes! Big things often come in small packages, right? That tiny star is definitely worth a click! After following that star...great things will begin to happen! For instance, you'll start receiving TpT inbox messages from your favorite TpT authors -- but not more than once a month. (I know... "Hhmm" a few of you are thinking. "So?") Well, here's a thought. In a world filled with way too much junk in our inboxes -- junk that has very little relevance to our daily doings, TpT is offering an avenue of choice and access. When you choose to star-click and follow a favorite TpT author, you set off quite a chain of events. Letting the Stars Direct Your TpT Customer Service For instance, when the owner of your favorite store pops into your inbox one morning and leaves a little note, ... Keep Reading...
