I taught 1st for a few years and it was the worst then. I would stress almost the first half of the year and had a check list for each and every kid that I would cross off as I connected the student with their parent or program. Stressful! 3rd grade is so much easier with dismissals. I'm a newbie blogger and would love it if you would hop on over and check out my blog :)<br />Your newest follower,<br />Tammy<br />groovyin3rd.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626498566920285606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706866616154600985.post-47898136367010701732012-07-27T22:20:15.623-04:002012-07-27T22:20:15.623-04:00Gina,

They helped so much. I create by previews in Powerpoint or with Picasa. It just depends on the project. <br />For clip art, I really like Scrappin' Doodles, KPM Doodles, and Jessica Weible. I like Print Candee and Digital Bakeshop for Digital Frames. The best thing I can tell you is to read the forums on TpT, you learn so much there. <br /><br />Just play around and be patient. I've been selling for six months, and although I've been moderately success, my store is just taking off.<br /><br />Oh and have fun with it too!<br /><br />Lisa<br /><a href="http://www.fourthnten.com" rel="nofollow">Fourth and Ten</a> <br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/FourthAndTenEducationResources" rel="nofollow">Like Fourth and Ten on Facebook!</a> <br />Formerly Stories From SecondLisa at Fourth and Tenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628224211161496155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706866616154600985.post-89917734393399615212012-07-27T19:09:36.256-04:002012-07-27T19:09:36.256-04:00I can't believe you haven't heard of the b...I can't believe you haven't heard of the book before!

Save each page as a picture & then insert & resize them all on the same slide. Then, save that slide as a picture. I believe Kristen over at Ladybug Teaching Resources has a great tutorial on this.<br />3. My store is starting to take off lately. I offered a lot of freebies at first so people could see my quality of work, and I try to price reasonably, but don't underestimate your work either.<br />Hope that helps! :)<br />Lisa<br /><b><a href="http://learningissomethingtotreasure.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Learning Is Something to Treasure</a></b>Lisa R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600005188065310724noreply@blogger.com
