Hey, Reader!

Happy 20th birthday to TPT, and happy 30% off sale day to you! 🎉

When I started teaching 8th grade math in 2015, I was drowning in lesson planning. I had a degree in upper level math, but figuring out how to teach those concepts was a whole new skill. 🤯

I spent hours scrolling Pinterest for ideas, usually hoping to find something free. Every so often, a pin led me to TPT. I was hesitant to buy anything until a teacher friend told me, “Sometimes it’s worth it to just pay.” 🤔

Oh boy, was she right! Instead of piecing together every lesson myself, I could learn from teachers who had already figured out how to explain a tricky concept, and were willing to share their work via TPT! 💕

Then 2020 happened. The lessons I’d bought needed major changes for virtual learning, so I made my own guided notes and video lessons instead. After finishing my first unit, I thought, I’ve bought resources like this on TPT before… and decided to post it. After years of teaching 8th grade math, I got to share what I’d learned with other teachers, just as they had shared with me. 🤗

That’s my favorite thing about TPT: years of teaching experience are just a click away. 💚

I loved reading what you shared, too! Congratulations to our gift card winners: Ashley B., Stephanie L., and Lillie W.! 🎁
