Get to Know this TpT Teacher-Author...

GO FIGURE With SCIPI

What grade level(s) and/or subject(s) are you currently teaching? What grade levels have you taught prior to this year?
      College—I have either taught every grade, observed student teachers, or supervised teachers of a grade...

If currently in the classroom, how long have you been teaching? If not still in classroom, how long did you teach?         
      Together, this is my husband’s and my 70th year! And we are both still teaching because we love it!

When did you join Teachers Pay Teachers as a Seller? What made you decide to become a seller?
       I do many workshops and create materials for them.  My partner "in crime," my workshop partner, suggested I try to sell things on TPT.

One piece of advice you can give to a beginning teacher & one piece for a veteran teacher:      
       Never judge a student by his/her appearance.  There is potential in each one.

Something unique about you both as a teacher and outside of the classroom:
       When I worked for the public school system, I was a math resource teacher for ten years.  For three years, I worked at the school where the visually impaired were assigned.  I loved trying to think of how to make a math concept "visual" for them.  I also worked three years with the hearing impaired, and had to learn to work with an interpreter.  Both experiences stretched me as a teacher.



One of your best selling product links:

What other bio information would you like to share?
       I love gardening - it's my therapy.  I love to read.  I am a breast cancer survivor of eight years, and I wasn't supposed to make it.  Miracles still happen!

Thank you for participating, Scipi!!
Regards,
Ann Marie

I Received the Sunshine Award from Vicky at Scipi!!!


A very big THANK YOU to Vicky at Scipi for nominating me for the Sunshine Award!! 

She has truly been great in advising me and encouraging me as a TpT seller. Thank you, Vicky!   Vicky, aka Scipi, has a super teaching blog! Check it out! 

For the Sunshine Award, I was to post my answers to the following questions:

            What is your favorite color?
              Hard to answer: Purple, Cobalt Blue, Red
            What is your favorite animal?
              Again more than 1 answer: 
               I Have 5 Dogs & a Kitten, so...Dogs & Cats
            What is your favorite number?
              I guess 4; 4 quarters makes $1, 4.0 is a perfect rating  on TpT and a perfect score on the state writing test; 4 seasons in a year, and I could keep going...
           Facebook or Twitter?   
              Facebook
            Your Passion?
              Besides teaching, I find peace and "stress therapy" (lol) in painting, and gardening! 
            Giving or Getting Presents?
              Giving....but it's fun to unwrap too! I am a kid at heart!
            Favorite Day?
                  Saturday is my favorite weekDAY; Christmas is my favorite holiDAY; that first warm weather day at the end of Winter/beginning of Spring is another favorite DAY of the year! I always catch that Spring Fever!!! 
      I get to pass this award along to other fabulous blogs. Two blogs and people I think "Shine" and so receive the Sunshine Award from me are:
       *Teacher Park by Ruth Spears
       *Wise Owl Factory by Carolyn Wilhelm
      Both of these ladies are gracious in sharing ideas, supporting fellow TpT Sellers, providing advice and/or comments via TpT forums, Facebook, etc. I have gained invaluable knowledge and inspiration from visiting their blogs, observing their techniques, and seeing their wonderful ideas! They have lots to share on their blogs, inspiring teachers everywhere!
