Teachers Pay Teachers

As all teachers know, it is not always fun to try and create a brand new lesson plan. There is a website I recently found called Teachers Pay Teachers. This is an awesome resource for teachers to find lesson plans. Teachers post their own lesson plans to the website and can decide to let people download them for free or to sell them for a small price. This way, you can make a little money for the lesson plans you've created! There are lesson plans for all subjects and ages that you can either download for free or pay a small price for. Have fun searching for new, exciting lessons for your kiddos!
