Summer Project #1: Unload Some Books

One of my summer projects (besides finally starting my blog!) is purging my collection of teacher resource books. This is a big job, because five years ago, when I was a new teacher, some super sweet and helpful retirees passed on a TON of awesome resources to me, from grammar reproducibles to reading passages for comprehension to ideas on classroom management. Now, as a more experienced educator, I've gotten in my groove and realized I really don't need to keep everything, especially if I already have similar items I'm actually using. I know other teachers out there can use these books, so I'm slowly posting them on Teachers Pay Teachers. (Shop my store here.) I've already sold one and sent it off to a good home! Yay! It feels so good to reuse and recycle - and not let these valuable resources gather dust on my shelf for one more year.
Here's to cleaning out clutter and trying new things! Happy summer!
