Why is it that it is now Saturday and I am setting here
going through all the 5479 “Freebies” on Teachers pay Teachers for Middle School?
Surely I would have something better to do. I have saved over 500 items that I
will then have to go back through so I can see it they are something that I can
rework, tweak, gives me an idea of something else, or is just something I MIGHT
use during the upcoming year.
I have looked at hundreds of items
that I will never use, things that are to low lever for my own students, things
that I wonder why teachers post them for middle school when they are relative
for maybe 1st grade or lower. I have saved game designs, grade
sheets, bingos, Self Assessment Smiley Face, Progress Reports, Jeopardy Bingo PowerPoint, directions
PPts, Fakebook assignments, lesson planners, various assessment activities, 3-2-1
Exit forms, Printable Gradebook Sheets, weekly lesson
templates, etc.
Now I just have to go through them and see
which I will keep, which I will toss, and which ones I can use now! 5479 items took me all day to go through them
and I am sure if I “refresh the computer” there are more now. The ones that do “click”
with me will only click if I can tweak them to fit Louisiana history. Like the thousands
of ideas I have downloaded over the years, many of them will fit nicely within
what I am teaching at the time. I may not see them until April or May but they
will get used, tested, and put on my own website. I will never repost them here
on TpT unless they are very re-tweaked so that you do even recognized them as
being something over than what they have become.
I only wish TpT would do real middle school social studies teachers and real science teachers and even REAL Louisiana history teacher, but then I might only be looking at my own stuff.
