“Giftedness is not what you do or how hard you work. It is who you are. You think differently. You experience life intensely. You care about injustice. You seek meaning. You appreciate and strive for the exquisite. You are painfully sensitive. You are extremely complex. You cherish integrity. Your truth-telling has gotten you in trouble. Should 98% of the population find you odd, seek the company of those who love you just the way you are. You are not broken. You do not need to be fixed. You are utterly fascinating. Trust yourself!”

Most of you probably know that I have a little store on Teacher's Pay Teachers.  When I first started blogging, I didn't know where to post my FREEBIES (at that time I wasn't into Google Drive, etc.) so I joined up with TpT.  Most of the things I create, I like to share for FREE with other teachers.  A few of the things I have created have taken more time and effort, and these few items I sell for a modest amount.  Well, today and tomorrow TPT is hosting a HUGE sale.  Most stores are on sale for 20% off and TpT is adding another 10% AFTER the first discount is applied...so you will receive 28% off anything you purchase from my store and most others on TpT too!

I have purchased many quality products this year from TpT which have saved me hours of time!  I have been inspired and motivated by the products I have downloaded and used with my students.  If you haven't check it out yet...pop over today...you would be amazed at the quality and quantity of resources available.  

Maybe while you are there you might take the opportunity to pick up a copy of my MATH CHAT posters....my most popular priced product (on sale for less than $3)!  Click on the image below to go directly to my TpT store..even if you don't purchase anything...you might want to download some great FREEBIES!

Do you assign classroom jobs to your students?  Do you ever feel like you need to change them up a bit? Today I am blogging again over at A Class*y Collaboration, the collaborative blog I have started writing for.  Click on the blog button below to check out how I create leadership teams in my grade six gifted program.
