Kreative in Kinder LOVES TPT!! {GIVEAWAY!!}

Greetings friends. I am so excited to team up with my blogging besties at Freebielicous to bring you one SWEET giveaway.  We are totally diving into the season of LOVE by sharing with you one of our favorite loves, Teachers Pay Teachers.  I realize that teachers selling materials to other teachers can be a hot topic but I can honestly tell you that this virtual team has totally changed my life!

I am so incredibly grateful for TPT because it has changed the way I teach.  As a creator, I have evolved with a greater understanding of how to create better materials for my students. Yes, I know that there are tons of statics behind the curriculum that the state provides but no one knows my kids like I DO.  If I am the one that is held accountable for my students’ learning, then I am going to do whatever it takes to make that happen.  For me, that is creating materials that engage my students and foster a love for learning. And, if I can’t make it, I can certainly find it.  I feel confident in knowing that the materials on TPT are created by TEACHERS who share the same motivation as me. Can I get an amen? :)

TPT has also been an asset to me because I have met so many other teachers around the world that have blessed my life in so many ways.  Honestly, I would have never been able to raise money for West, TX without the help of other TPT sellers (also known as my friends). I really feel like anything is possible when we work together! 

I’m not going to lie, having additional income totally helps.  It's been nice for medical issues, student loans, and just a random acts of FUN.  Remember my trip last summer where I took my youngest to Legoland? You can read more about that amazing little story here. I totally couldn't have done that without TPT. Also, just as important to me, I tithe my TPT money to our church, which we helped start two years ago.  Our church just financed land and we hope to break ground this year on an actual building.  Right now we are meeting at the local high school every Sunday.  I pray that God continues to use my business to fund the future ministries in my community.  I only share this with you because for one, I appreciate you believing in my work enough to put it in the hands of YOUR students, and secondly because I it allows me to give to things that are important to me like my church, school, and local organizations.  I think teachers get the importance of giving back and sacrifice.  It’s what we do every day.  We don’t just care about our kids’ academics. We care if they get enough to eat, do they have a coat to wear, and do they have a safe place to call home. 

Teaching, creating, writing, and connecting with others are the most important things to me outside of my family and faith.  I feel super blessed to share that journey with you.  My first year of teaching, I was a team of one and it was HARD.  If there were blogs and TPT then, life would have been so different.  I could have survived with fewer tears by having a virtual team.  I hope because of what we offer and what we do, no one ever has to feel like that.
