I finally completed my first Teachers Pay Teachers product. (Insert a very loud WOOHOO!)
After reading many different teacher blogs and looking at over 1,000 products on TPT, I finally thought of something to make. I was always told to create things that I would use in my classroom but being on summer break kind of hinders that thought process a little bit.
I began by getting my favorite pen and a notepad and made a list of everything
My first year teaching, I was introduced to a binder system for my reading story units and folders to hold the materials that I use with each story. Right now they are
(You can find these covers over at my TPT store by clicking the images.)
I realize now that cute borders, cute fonts, and cute clip art makes everything better. I've only created covers for Unit 1 but plan to make some for each of the 6 units that we have in our Reading Street series.
Now, being a newbie in the TPT and blogging world made this a little more time consuming than I anticipated. My husband kept asking me what I was working on and my sweet pup couldn't keep his paws off of my keyboard. (I've had to hit delete a few times while typing this!) But, I realized that I enjoy creating these products for my classroom. It gives me a sense of pride knowing that I created the things that I will be using in my room. I now fully understand why all of you awesome teachers out there in "teacher blog land" enjoy this so much.
I fully intend to continue this relaxing yet exciting adventure. I hope that you all enjoy reading and I welcome all comments and suggestions.

Woohoo! Congrats on uploading your first product! I totally agree with creating products. It is fun! I'll start one and then get another idea and before I know it I've got three things going at once, lol.
