Dear Teachers,

Thanks for the great response to last week's announcement that one of our teacher-sellers, Deanna Jump, a kindergarten teacher from Georgia, earned a remarkable $27,000+ in 3 months on TpT! It was wonderful and inspiring news for our community. It got me thinking that Deanna and her family weren't the only ones to benefit. Those of you who purchase on TpT also benefit in many ways, with the easiest to measure being in time saved.

Let's say the average time to create a resource posted to TpT is 3 hours. Indeed, many items take far more time to develop than that, but we want to be conservative. So if you use 5 items per week, say a mixture of free and priced resources, we saved you 15 hours each week or a little over 2 hours a day. Two hours a day for 180 days is 15 full days! I won't call it a two week vacation, because most of you use the extra time for your students, but still, it's significant.

Do you have any stories or testimonials about how TpT has saved you time and how you used that extra time? If yes, please tell us here! Oh, and we hope you enjoy the 30 hours saved by using the 10 free downloads below!

Teach and be well,

Paul
