Time for a commercial break from your regularly scheduled post about books you're reading, or things you're doing this summer, or how you're getting your room ready for Fall 2015.
I am Patty from 2nd in Line.
were paid volunteered to help her out!
I am Patty from 2nd in Line.
And I'm here for Jennifer today.
She is a busy busy girl and some of us
If you don't know me, let me give you the
condensed version of my biography.
I taught 2nd grade for 36 years and for what ever reason. . . then I retired. But as many of you who are reading this, I am passionate about teaching. I couldn't just quit. I love working with kids and making a difference in their lives. I love helping them understand new things. SOOOOOO. . . . the PERFECT job opened up for me.
I am now working as an interventionist in a teeny tiny room no bigger than your bathroom. . . SERIOUSLY! I work with one or two students at a time for 30 minutes. I only work until noon. That's it!
No meetings.
No conferences (unless I want to).
No report cards.
No grading papers.
And only minimal lesson planning.
Isn't that what we all went to college for? But alas, all those things that I'm not doing now, I have done plenty of before and they do have a purpose. . . really . . . they do!
I love my family of teachers.
I am married to a teacher. My two kids are teachers. Their spouses are teachers. My sister was a teacher but is now retired.
My brother in law was a principal but is now retired. So I guess teaching is what I know.
Now I have 3 grandchildren that fill me up with giggles, snuggles, and love all the time!
My blog is about 3 years old. I've been selling on TPT for almost 3 years also. I do love to create things for my class, so I thought I might as well see if someone else would also like my things. That is why TPT works for me. It's not really any extra time than what I would normally put into what I make.
I'd like to offer you a special today, just for taking the time to read this. I am putting 3 of my products on sale for $1.00 each just for one week.

I hope you have a great start to your school year and that you will come back and visit Miss Jennifer often to see what else she is up to.
It has been my pleasure to be here today. Thanks for listening and have a great year!
