Talented Teacherpreneur - Ser Bilingue Rocks!

This week's Talented Teacherpreneur is Angie from Ser Bilingue Rocks! She has been teaching for six years, and was originally inspired to become a teacherpreneur because of the lack of Spanish resources she had access to. Her store has steadily been increasing in growth, and she is now a very proud teacherpreneur because she creates resources in both languages that help other teachers and students from all over!

The most valuable resource in her store, and the one that's inspired her to create more hands-on engaging resources for her classroom and her store, is the 2D Shapes booklets. They are available in both languages, but her Spanish version, "Figuras Geometricas 2D" is her top seller!

Her advice to aspiring teacherpreneurs? Do your research. When she opened her store, she didn't upload a resource for another 2 months after that! She was busy researching how to create products, including how to write descriptions for the products, giving credit to other authors, cross selling other resources within the product descriptions, and making product covers more attractive. Even something as simple as uploading a square product cover can make a huge difference in how that product is recieved! She suggests investing in quality clipart and fonts for your students and not just for the sake of it. Lastly she says not to compare yourself to other sellers, and take a risk!

The area she'd like to grow more professionally is learning how to help students with special needs succeed in her classroom!

End of the Year Activities

Top 5 things to do to keep your class engaged the last month of school Here are some things to keep your students motivated and engaged in class the last few weeks of school. It can be hard to keep their attention when they've checked out for summer break (even though we're only in April!!). Here are some tools you can use to help students feel motivated to finish out the year strong! 1. Balloon pop motivation Set up balloons at the top of the whiteboard (where kids can’t reach) and the last few minutes of class pop one a day (if they've had a good day). Inside have incentives, such as no shoes the last 10 minutes of class, have a dance party, have free time with blocks and board games, etc. If the class doesn't have a good day that day they don't get to pop a balloon! 2. Games, games, games Have students bring in their favorite board game to play with classmates at a designated time of the day. If you need to cover academics during this time, board

How to Implement Words Their Way in Your Classroom

How do you implement Words Their Way into a classroom? It is very simple. The first step is to give students the initial assessment: it is basically a spelling test. After you have given the spelling test, you use the score sheet to score student’s answers. The score sheet looks like this: The column that your students miss the most (the ones I’ve circled) is the one where you being instruction. The column they fall under will determine what WTW book you will use. The books are: Letter Name-Alphabetic, Within Word Pattern, Syllables and Affixes, and Derrivational Relations. I have broken down the classroom instruction so that each day we are doing an activity with our Words Their Way sorts. Here is what my groups look like in the second grade classroom I’m mentoring. I’ve changed the names of the students for confidentiality purposes: Short vowels: John, Sam, Jane, Sally, Audrey Digraphs and Blends: Arron, Greg, Katie Long vowels: Mary, Marlene, Josh, Nicole, Christi

So much so, that she has tutored over 200 students one on one, and gained many valuable insights to lower achieving students that can help them succeed! She initially heard of TpT when a friend of hers retired, and encouraged her to create and sell products. The idea of being able to create anything she wanted really drew her. The most valuable product she's made for her store has been her Math and ART! products. Most of her work has been with struggling students. She had these kids in mind when she created Math and ART! These products really help struggling students because they are self correcting and fun! One thing she'd like to know more about is incorporating STEAM into her math class especially. She hopes to do some research on this and offer related products in the coming year. After all, learning happens best when we c
