New Year, New Me! (And a Sale)


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

The mystery of whose lesson plan folder is whose (it’s always the blue one). The existential dread of...

Start strong, without losing your mind (or your coffee) Back-to-school season is here, and if you’re anything like me, your brain is somewhere between labeling folders and stress-sweating over IEPs you haven’t seen yet. 😅 Whether you're teaching middle school, special ed, or living that delightful combo, this is NOT the time for complicated systems and Pinterest-perfect bulletin boards. This is the time for easy wins. I rounded up my favorite sanity-saving tools to kick off the year, think...
