Ellen,
I have been trying to download this Teacher Appreciation freebie but with no luck. This looks like a great end of the year unit. Can you help?

Hey!
Unfortunately, that particular unit was offered as a freebie for only one day on May 6th as part of the Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop. However, I have a few other free items in my store available for you to check out. Also, if you would like to download a preview of that particular unit it is available for purchase...and on sale until tomorrow! I hope this is helpful, and please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hi Ellen! I love the activities that you have provided. This may be a silly question, but what programs do you use to create the layout, font, pictures, etc. on your activities. I only have Word and it looks like you have a better program than me.
Thanks,
Ashley
Thanks,
Ashley

Ellen Boyle (TpT Seller)
Hey Ashley! HA...I ask so many silly questions so do not even worry! I typically use Microsoft programs like power point or word. I find most of my free fonts off of pinterest. I don't think I have the ones I downloaded pinned, but they are fairly popular and should be easy to find with a little pinterest snooping! As far as my pictures and graphics...I am too worried about copyright infringements so I create all of my own graphics (it is time consuming, but my kids love it and I hope that other teachers get enjoyment out of my work too!) I hope this was helpful, and please consider following my tpt store or blog so that I can keep you posted about my future products, freebies, and ideas!

Welcome Ellen. I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie.
I have a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, create a cover page which can then be used as an attractive thumbnail to entice buyers. Add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page. 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. Finally, watch your fonts. Many buyers, especially primary teachers, prefer the ordinary fonts over the "cute" ones.
If you have time, I’d appreciate your input on my freebie listed below. Also, feel free to download it if you think you can use it in your classroom.

Thank you so much for using your time to look over some of my first items and offer your insight! I will definitely consider all of your tips with my future creations.

We use our voices to learn, our ears to listen, our hands to discover, our nose to sniff out the answers (ultimately leading to more questions!), and our hands to reach out to one another! I believe in curiosity, care, and developing a love for learning!
