1.
How long have you been on Teachers Pay Teachers? What made you decide to be a part of it?
I started selling free items in January and then paid items in
February of 2012.
2.
When did you know that you wanted to be in education?
In college, I was going to be an accountant and
didn't like the economics side of it so my mom reminded me of all the fun I had
with my younger cousins and helping out at a summer recreational program so I
decided to go for it.
3.
How are you currently involved in education?
I am currently a substitute teacher after
teaching Kindergarten and 2nd grade for 8 years. I wasn't happy at where I was at and decided
to sub to try to find a new job. I have
had the best time in the world subbing and have made so many children smile and
beg for me to come back!
4.
What would be your advice to people who are considering joining
Teachers Pay Teachers?
Don't expect to start selling everything right
out of the box! It takes time!
5.
What has been a highlight, thus far, about being on Teachers Pay
Teachers?
Having made back my $60 membership fee in the
first quarter!
6.
What is something fun about you that other teachers don’t know?
I am the biggest country music fan
around! I collect 8x10 pictures and have
them all over my house in every single room.
I have at least 400 country music CDs and a couple hundred cassette tapes! I have also met many country singers singing
Miranda Lambert 5 times and she is my favorite!
7.
Do you participate in education outside of the classroom? In what type of role?
Not really, other than volunteering when I can
like when I did the dunk tank on March 31st of this year and helped out in the
bounce house.
8.
What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
Promoting country music singers!
9.
What profession would you not like to do?
Police or Firefighter, I'm not an adventure seeker!
10. Who is your favorite author? Favorite educational author? And why?
Gail Gibbons, I love her great nonfiction books and the pictures are
spectacular! Ron Clark, because he inspires
teachers!
My first one I am proud of is a
freebie. it is called Fishy Sight Word
Blast and it has a twist to it. After
reading a word correctly children turn cards over for points. They can turn over as many as they want in a
turn, but the catch is if they get a 0 they lose all their points even from
previous rounds.
My next one is a paid product for
Bossy R - ar and -or word sort. It is my
best selling non-holiday item. Children
match the craps to the correct seaweed with the ar or the or on them. Then there is also a cut and paste word sort!
