Creating your own TpT products!

So I made a product in my store called How to Create TpT products without spending a dime and since then I have changed my blog name.  YIKES!
As promised I wanted to be sure to add additional information as I learn on how to create things for TpT
Well since I have made this product there has been several others to come up with tutorials and helpful hints.  Therefore, instead of reinventing the wheel, I will just link to them.!

The first tutorial that is quite helpful is from The 3am Teacher.  She has lots of cute things in here store and free frames and clip art to help you get started on attractive products to catch the buyers eye!
You can see her tutorial here

Here is also a VIDEO Tutorial by Katie Knight that is really great!

Sooo I hope this helps get you started!!!

Five for Friday

Here we go! So this week I was out at a convergent meeting with all the tech and media people in my county! Great minds coming together and sharing ideas. I am going to share some of those things through my Five for Friday!  Be sure to click on the picture below to link to Doodle Bugs Five for Friday!!

My first is SKYPE in the classroom.  I love it!  You can do a mystery skype and have students guess where the others live.  You can skype with others about anything.  YOU MUST go and sign up for skype in the classroom and connect with others.  Look in my sidebar, I am trying to get with others and skype about Holidays Around the World!! 

So much awesomeness at these meetings I couldn't help but share WONDEROPOLIS!  If you haven't heard of it you must go check it out!!  What a great way to get students ALL AGES to begin thinking! Matter of fact, I am presenting today!! HERE is the presentation.  I am tying it in to my research model process. Feel free to use it!!!

Oh My, such greatness from this conference.  Another thing I am learning is tweeting!  If you don't tweet, don't be scared.  It is an awesome way to spread the news, share ideas, connect with others and classrooms.  You can tweet with me at @summersusu!  Check out the Library Girl's tweet to.  There are so many tweet meetings and sharing times that you are missing out on so do it!!

So I am trying to do a weekly Throwback Thursday.  Just started last week.  I want to share tried and true ideas that you always go back to.  Who else wants to join.  So far I think my linky folks missed the idea that I want links to blogs writing about those tried and true things, not a link to a product.  HELP...maybe my linky party is a bust?

And last, We celebrated my youngest birthday :)

On the left, turned 6.  Where did the time go and my oldest on the right.  Got an amazing Living Social deal at Monkey Joes cause Lord knows I couldn't afford it otherwise.  We were able to invite the whole class!  We had a blast!

Throwback Thursday

It's that time again
Please be sure to link to your BLOG not your TpT store.
Looking for tried and true things you have used in your teaching experience that always works over the years.
Be sure to click on the link below to add your blog link and copy the picture to add to your blog.

My throw back tried and true is bubbles and hugs.

When I ask my students to stand and line up I say, bubbles and hugs.  Students know to put a bubble in their mouth and a hug around their library book.

Love hugs and bubbles.

Add your tried and true below.

Throwback Thursday Tried and True

A linky party of tried and true routines, books, lessons, or other aspects of teaching that you go back to time and time again.

I'm hosting a Throw Back Thursday Tried and True linky party and hope you can join.  I am hoping we can throw back each week those tried and true lessons, read alouds, class routines or whatever aspect of teaching that has always worked for you.  What are those things that you go back to time and time again that never out date themselves.

I am a teacher librarian so my throwback Thursday is Mr. Wiggles.. I have used those book care books for years and they never get old.

Kinders love Mr Wiggles and it really gets to the point of book care.  

I never get tired of him and the kids don't either.

What is your Throwback Tried and True.
