Valentine's Day Blog Hop 2015





There's lots to love this time of year, right?  Well, I'll just keep it to these "fast five" things.  :)


I really love lesson-planning!  I enjoy looking for (and/or making) prezis, videos, games, craftivities, foldables and on and on to see what I can do to make a lesson really stand out and be interesting!    
Many things I create and use with my middle school students end up being a product that I will place on TpT because I know it works!  :)

Right now, I have a LOT of boys in my 8th grade ELA classes, so I have focused on trying to tap into their sports interests with football themed writing ideas.






This suits my need for creativity to a "T"!

Have you ever noticed that restaurants are super crowded on Valentine's Day itself?  We have and for many years we waited and waited even with a reservation and had some very negative experiences as a result (people getting tired and hungry - not a good combo).  
So now we get our taxes done on this day and save the eating out for another one. 
(We sure do seem to get in and out of the tax place easily!)



So I read on a TpT Forum that the next conference is July 9-10, 2015 in Las Vegas.  Living in Florida, this might be quite an expensive trip, but maybe I can stay with a friend and get a cheap flight?  

I just think it would be so very surreal to meet so many of the men and women behind the many blogs I read.  Then I imagine learning so much and being incredibly inspired to do more with TpT.  I get excited just thinking about the possibilities!



The post is called:

Very Important Info About Your TPT Free Downloads!


Here I read about how to leave feedback for your freebies the easy way!  
I know how important feedback is for sellers and I have wanted to leave feedback for many of my freebies, but have had trouble trying to back track to do so.  

Now it's NO trouble because there is a tab under "My Purchases" that lists the free downloads you have actually downloaded!
