It's a hectic, exciting time of year for teachers! We're juggling concert rehearsals, awards nights, drama performances, track meets, graduation celebrations, and of course reviewing for end-of-year assessments. That's why Teacher Appreciation Week is such a welcome burst of sunshine to our busy schedules.
Just in time, Teachers Pay Teachers is throwing its Teacher Appreciation sale May 4 and 5. Time to dust off those wish lists and fill up the shopping cart!
To get ready for this fun sale, I've updated all the store graphics on my TPT store, Brevity.
The cute potted plant image came from handdrawngoods.com, which you should totally check out.
Inspiration to tinker with graphic design has come from many directions recently, but one of my favorites is Michelle Emerson's YouTube channel, Pocketful of Primary. Michelle teaches 4th grade in Maryland, and she has tons of ideas for using educational technology, hybrid teaching, digital planning, classroom organization, and more. Best of all, she's upbeat and positive, which is what I am looking for in a teacher YouTuber!
And to wrap up this brief missive, if you're looking for an end-of-year read-aloud for the middle grades, look no further than By the Great Horn Spoon! by Sid Fleischman. It's a laugh-aloud tale of a boy and a butler who need to strike it rich in the goldfields of California to save the family fortune. My nine-year-old loved it, and we stake our claim that it's our new favorite book.
Hope you have a happy week of appreciation for everything that you do.
Amy
