This Little Piggy Reads (TpT Seller) re: Brights Banners
Sandra,
I purchased your bright banners (love them) and I am having trouble seeing your terms of use. Do you have a button that I can include in the credits? For now I will link back to your store and let me know if this is okay.

The Fun Factory (TpT Seller) re: We Remember - a Mini Unit for Vetran's Day
Just want to know if you are aware that you have the word Veterans misspelled in your title....I would want someone to alert me if they saw a misspelled word so I hope you won't take offense.

Hi, I tried to download the Santa Postcard freebie, however it gave me file error. I will try again on my other computer, perhaps it was a connection issue.

Best Practices 4 Teaching (TpT Seller)
Hi!
I saw your blog and that you are a TpT seller. I love the format of your page. I tried downloading your V-day freebie and got Falling Leaves!! Easy to switch out files.
Anyway, I am starting up a new freebie site, where sellers at Teacher's Notebook and Teachers Pay Teachers share a freebie to market themselves and drive customers to their stores. If you are not already a member of a freebie site and would like to look into joining, I would love to have you fill out the contributor application (which is just really there so that I can keep up with everyone!). I enjoyed looking through your activities. You have a lot of great items.
The pages of the website are not finished yet, but I am trying to get them staffed so that we can start cross marketing. The page that is the 'most finished' is http://writing.bestpractices4teaching.com. You can click on the contributor tab there if you want to become part of it. I am really excited about it. If nothing else, bookmark the website so that you can come and download freebies once it all gets started!
Thanks!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I've been teaching for almost 20 years in the very urban and ESL environment of East Vancouver. 10 years in Kindergarten and the rest in Grade 1 and 2. I spent a year teaching Kindergarten in New Zealand in the year 2000. I am a classroom teacher who loves to teach music. I am also a teacher-mentor who loves to work with Student Teachers.
MY TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style has evolved the years. I strongly believe in demonstrating and supporting respect for all people in the class. That said, I also believe in structure and firm boundaries. I believe that children work best in an environment where they have a lot of choice to do hands-on activities. Children need plenty of opportunity to walk around and to talk when learning. I also strongly believe that children learn to read when they read every day, especially struggling readers.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I am a current Artisan Award winner from Stampin' Up!
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have three university degrees. A B.A. in English Language where I studied the history and development of the English Tongue, not the literature developed from it. I also have a B. Ed and a Masters of Education. I specialized in Primary education and curriculum development. I also have 10 years of classical piano training from the Royal Conservatory of Toronto.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
In my former life as a single, carefree woman, I did a lot of travelling and had a lot of adventures. Now I work full-time as a teacher, have two children (oldest is in Kindergarten) and have a passion for papercrafting and scrapbooking as well as a passion for playing and watching Ice Hockey.
