Thank you! I like your blog and linky, but it looks like its only for freebies? I have some freebies, but they aren't foldables. Should I skip it, or link to my blog or a different freebie?
thanks!
thanks!

This is excellent! I teach high school and coach elementary and middle school science teachers for special education. I'm going to follow you because I definitely see myself using some of your products - much easier than having to create them myself! Peggy Simpson Rescue Dogs' Series

Thank you! If you think of it, I'd love to know what you modify so I can improve as well. I have used it with 7th graders who are very low readers pretty successfully. Thanks for downloading and for the feedback.

I don't teach science (math for me), but my husband does, and he loved this! He plans to use it in the fall.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Scipi (TpT Seller)
I saw your store on the home page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. I left you a rating. Well done! Since you are new to TPT, here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products.
Add a cover page for each of your products which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers, even for one page resources. You might also add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page for the teacher. (How do use this? How do you grade it? Etc.) List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also number your pages. Finally, unless you want your products revised (I do for my tests) save everything in a PDF format as it is harder to change.
It is important that we see what others are doing; so, feel free to look at any or all of my freebies listed below to gather some ideas. If you care to, a rating or any feedback you might have would be great.
