friends! I am so excited to finally share with y’all the first week of the #TPTSellerChallenge !
The
product below is near & dear to my heart. I created it before I even knew
what TPT was! I was a first year teacher that just wanted to create for my own
classroom. I made my classroom coupons in WORD and struggled for HOURS over the
formatting! I recently updated them to have cohesive fonts and graphics, and I
included a black and white version. Since I made it in word, I had to
completely re-make the file for PPT.

and a Classroom economy!

I
completely changed the clipart to be from one seller, I created a black and
white version, AND I created a response sheet so teachers can easily integrate
idioms into their classroom.

June 15, 2015 at 9:45 pmAbout to put up my post!!! Such a fun idea, thanks for hosting. Just curious…. can I add the linky to the bottom of my post? I didn't see a code, so I wasn't sure 🙂

June 15, 2015 at 10:23 pmIdioms are key and I LOVE the new clip art you included with them. ESL students especially tend to get lost because they are expected to know them and it seems few teachers review them. Well done 🙂

everything just so
June 20, 2015 at 4:55 pmI appreciate your choice to include cohesive clipart within your product! My revisions included the same this week. It just makes the product so much more appealing both for buyers and for the students who have to look at it every day! 🙂 Thanks for organizing this group for us!

June 21, 2015 at 2:34 pmI know I'm behind the times, but I struggle with PowerPoint. Everyone always says how much more they love it, so there MUST be someone who has a great tutorial on how to create products in PowerPoint. Help!?!

June 21, 2015 at 8:55 pmI just linked up – finally! I love your updated covers. I agree with the idea of adding black and white versions of things. Even though I include full-color parts of my resources, I rarely ever print in color myself! Thanks so much for hosting this challenge! ~ Lisa

June 22, 2015 at 2:08 amI use PowerPoint some, but really like Publisher. I love your coupons. I am not in a regular classroom anymore, but I use to do a mini-society (economy). It is so much fun. I have thought about taking some of my old stuff and revamping as products. Yours looks fabulous. It is such a great thing to offer to teachers. My students learned so much from it. Thanks for helping to organize the challenge. Kim Scott http://kimberlyscottscience.blogspot.com
