Hello friends!
Long time no talk. The last two years have been tough with everything going on in the world and how challenging it has made teaching. I think it's been over a year since I've even sent out an email. My hope for the new year is to spend more time focusing on my blog and Teachers Pay Teachers products.
Is there anything you would like to see in my store? Reply to this email and let me know, the brainstorming has begun!
Oh, and that sale I promised you:
Search the hashtag #NYDeals22 on Teacherspayteachers.com to find some great products on sale for $1.
If your life has changed as much as mine and you no longer want to receive my emails, feel free to unsubscribe. I won't be offended, I promise!
I hope you all are well and healthy. And I look forward to interacting with you more regularly in 2022!
XOXO Katie

Here’s the truth no one really says out loud: Progress monitoring isn’t hard because...

Did I update that goal?Where is that progress monitoring sheet?Why do I have 47 sticky notes but zero organization? It doesn’t have to be like that. I just published a new blog post that walks you step-by-step through how to prepare for an IEP meeting without the last-minute scramble (or the internal panic while flipping through...
