Talking Tech Tutorial: GIF for Your TpT Store!

Hi friends! Have you seen the latest trend on TpT? Rotating Quote pictures? They are popping up everywhere! Thought I would share with you how I made mine! I'm starting a new series on my blog for the school year: Talking Tech with Pride and Primary!  I'm hoping to post every other Saturday with a new Tech tutorial or a new tech software or platform to share with you and your classroom or personal life! So let's get started! First you have to make your designs. I use PowerPoint, but you can design in whatever program you are most comfortable with, as long as the finished dimensions are correct (about 600 pixels in width, height between 100-260 pixels).  Open PowerPoint. Insert a rectangle that is 7” x 3.5”. You will need to fill the rectangle with the same color as the quote section on TpT. To do that, go to the Format tab, then to Shape Fill, and click on More Colors. On the custom tab, make the fill color R 241 G 241 B 241. Click OK.    Clear the outline on the rec...

Five For Friday {July 24, 2015}

Hi y'all! I am having extremely mixed feelings about this Friday for multiple reasons! Okay mostly because that means I only have one more Friday before school. Eeeek!!! But I'm also happy to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching again for the fabulous Five for Friday!  First and foremost, I would like to once again send up some prayers for those suffering in Lafayette, Louisiana today because of an awful shooting that occurred at a movie theater there last night. I am sickened that things like this are continuing to happen in our nation in the 21st century. I have nothing but prayers and support for everyone here in Louisiana.  I'm not sure who created this graphic, I've looked! So I can't credit it. If you know, please let me know! Thanks! Second, I have been freaking out over the Louisiana Reading Association Conference 2015  that was just emailed this week. Eric Litwin is going to be there. Donalyn Miller is going to be there. And Mr. Greg from Kindergarten Smorgas...

Five For Friday {July 17, 2015}

Time will not slow down at all it seems!! The summer weeks are FLYING by for me. Anybody else feel this way???? But it has been a fabulous week that has gone so quickly and that means its time for Five for Friday y'all!! Linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for this fabulous Friday Linky!! Here's what's been happening in my week:  OH MY GOODNESS first and foremost I have to tell you that I finally got to "Hangout" (see what I did there???) with my original #teachertribe and TpT buddies - The Primary Punchbowl!!! Picture credit to Elsa at The Whole Wheat Class and that is the fabulous Sarah from Mrs. B's First Grade!  Sarah and Laura from Luv My Kinders gave us (the ones who were home last week) some GREAT tips from Las Vegas and the TpT Conference. We were all on Google Hangout and got to see and hear each other! So much fun! We also all made plans to be there next year no matter what!!  If you haven't done a Google Hangout with your friends yet, I high...
