What is TeacherspayTeachers? Not Just For Teachers, But Homeschools, Preschools, Childcares, Daycares And Parents!


TpT is a "supplementary digital materials market," which consists of all types of online or downloadable handouts, curricula, educational games and worksheets. It’s a marketplace for teachers selling their own wares and it works kind of like Etsy. While it started as a place for teachers to purchase products, it has opened up a whole new world for homeschools, daycares, childcares, preschools and parents to find good educational activities.

It was created in 2006 by Paul Edelman, a middle school teacher in New York City.  It is now considered one of the top ten The World's Top 10 Most Innovative Companies of 2015 in Education.

At this moment, TpT has over 242,866 free products to encourage buyers to experience the activities before purchasing. For example, here is a free activity in my store.
 
 
 It includes one page each of some of my puzzle products.

I encourage you to see what TpT has to offer!

Niika Note!


Many bloggers have furry friends that keeps them company while they sit at the computer creating enticing paragraphs of wisdom. OK, I’m really working on that last part……

My fluffy companion is a Border Collie and Husky mix. She truly is the best of both breeds. Her name is Niika, pronounced Neeka


Sometimes she passes me a note!
 Yes, it is really Monday!  Enjoy your week!
