I'm Back!!
Well, I have joined Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) as a seller so that I can share some of my resources that I have made through the years as a teacher. I know that I will have to work on my marketing abilities and computer skill but I have started my page and put up some items that I used in my classroom.
There are some sellers out there that are my favorites and I hope to become as good as them one day, but for now I am going to keep things simple and see how I do on the site.
My site link is - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Wacky-West
Feel free to check out the items I have posted. I have posted some free items and reasonably priced practice and assessments.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at my email -

or leave a comment below.
I am also interest in hearing ideas/comments/and questions about my products. If you like what you see but you need it more tailored to your needs, I am willing to help work with you to make this the best product for your classroom needs.
Below I have included a picture and short description of one of my FREE products on TpT.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Here are some pictures of my Take Home Treasure Box Incentive slips. I don't know about you but I always have parents asking for ideas to get their child more motivated at home or for extra homework/activities to keep their child busy. The one thing that I always suggest is READ with your child more and spend time with your child doing quality things. I do not like homework but if I am going to send it home, I want it to be meaningful and I feel like reading with your child and talking to them about the book, is one of the most beneficial things you can do with your child. I thought these slips will help and it is easy for parents to fill them out and send them back in. It is also a great motivator for their child since they could earn a prize from school for working hard and being a good citizen.
I have created two slips, anymore and it would be too hard for parents/families to keep track of. I created a reading 20 minutes slip and a good deed slip. The parents must sign them and fill out the good deed on the back of the slip before they send them back to school.
I also send the slips home on colored paper, so they are easier to keep track of. You could send them home on the same color each time, but if you are like me, I never have enough of the same colored paper so I just send home on whatever I have in class when I print them out. :-)
I have the slips along with a note that I send home explaining the slips on my TpT store. This little goody is FREE.
You can implement this anyway that you would like to. I have my own treasure box system in my classroom as well. They can earn a slip in class for doing something above and beyond. When the students bring their slips from home I read the slips aloud, usually during morning meeting, and make a big deal about what they did at home too! This helps to create good citizens at home and at school too. I add the home slips to the same jar as the classroom slips. This way, if there is a kid that doesn't participate in the home slips, they all have a chance to win.
I send the slips home every couple of weeks or if I notice someone is more active, I will slip more slips in their take home folder sooner.
**When I have a classroom volunteer/ parent helper come to my classroom to read with students, I will have slips for them to fill out as well. I try to have my students that do not get the slips from home a chance to earn them at this time.**
I hope this idea helps in your classroom as well.
