Just
before Black Friday, here are two sources of gifts you can’t miss!
I thought
I’d lead with some serious hyperbole. Of course you can miss these sources. I
hope you won’t.
If you
need a gift for a teacher . . .
The title
of this post includes Teachers Pay Teachers. That’s a web-based store where
teachers offer ideas, lessons, activities, and other items they’ve developed
for sale.
Here’s my
“store page.” I’ve got 27 products listed. Some are FREE. Most cost between
$1.00 and $6.00 and are iterations of things I’ve done in my classes. All my
items include extensive teacher notes. You can download a free sample of them
all.
Interestingly,
my “best seller” is an idea I had for an Anatomy and Physiology class long
after I stopped teaching that subject. I’ve never used “Human Body World,” but
teachers who’ve left comments say their students love it.
My second
biggest seller is a Powerpoint, “How to Graph Scientific Data.” That does not
surprise me.
I’ve
worked with a former student and now a dynamite 2nd grade teacher,
Dawn Jenkins Himaka on a product for elementary students. Called “The Very Best
Animal,” the activity combines English/Language Arts with Ecology concepts
where each student develops a campaign for “the best animal” in a given biome.
Of
course, my activities are science oriented and target middle-high school
students. If the teacher you’re buying for doesn’t match that profile, there
are hundreds of thousands of items on the site.
Make two
teachers happy and buy a gift for the teacher in your life from Teachers Pay
Teachers.
Fiction and Non-Fiction I've written
I’ve put
together a sampler from all my books. It’s a 77-page PDF file with about 2500 words
from each of my books.
I've included samples from three as yet unpublished books--the bottom row of covers in the photo above.

I hope
you’ll read through it. When you find a sample that piques your interest,
follow the link in the PDF and snag a copy from Amazon.
If you
do, I’ll be your best friend.
Here’s a
list of all my books with links, if you don’t want/need a sample to hook you.
