Dear Teachers,

The school year is winding down but of course you are charging hard and will do so all the way through the last day of school. You aren't really that kind of teacher who caves to your students desires to stop working, watch movies and have classroom parties. There is just too much to learn, too much precious time that will be lost forever if you don't do something with it. But enough preaching to the choir! Below are 10 more free downloads we hope you find useful as you continue your good work.

We are working hard too, for you. To the left is a glimpse of the new and improved TpT site we are working on. It's not quite ready but we hope to launch it this summer. Browsing and searching will be much faster and easier and there will be some neat new features that will make following your favorite sellers more fruitful. We look forward to launching it and having another amazing school year at TeachersPayTeachers!

Teach and be well,

Paul
