Teacher Selling Websites

Have you thought about selling on a teacher website?  Well, here is my take on it: I joined TeacherspayTeachers and have had some success, but I think that being charged 40% plus a $0.30 transaction fee is a little ridiculous.  The website ends up taking about 50% of my earnings!  I try to keep the price of the items I make as cheap as possible, so that all educators are able to purchase the item for a reasonable price. I in turn make almost nothing. So, I researched and found another site.  Teachers Notebook.  On this site it is $20.00 for the year and the seller gets to keep 100% of their earnings minus the paypal fees, which are miniscule.  I think this website is a much better site to post your teacher items.  Why should a site like teacherspayteachers earn half of my earnings, when I worked very hard to make my items.  I will stay with teacherspayteachers, since any money earned is better than none, but from now on i will be trying to promote my teachers notebook store.

This year my theme is quite similar, since I will have my own class the whole year and I already have everything I need!  I also decided to start selling some of my items on teacherspayteachers to go along with my jungle themed classroom.  Take a peek and see what I love to do! Visit my store:  Kinder Kuties Store That is just a sample of what you get with my pack.  Since this picture I have added much more!  You can find this Safari/ Jungle theme pack at: Jungle / Safari Theme Classroom Pack  

Safari / Jungle Theme

This year I will be using a Jungle/Safari theme in my classroom!  I cannot wait!  Last year, I was a maternity leave replacement in Kindergarten and did a rainforest theme!  The room came out extremely cute!  I cant wait to even make it better this year, since this will be my own classroom! Che ck out my other post on a J ungle theme classro om HERE . Last year in my rainforest classroom, I had some really great touches which added character to the room!  I really went over the top and the parents and students loved it!  My welcome board The Jungle / Safari bodies can now be found  HERE due to popular demand. I found the large safari hat at AC Moore.  It is made of foam and is easy to staple up. The tree was made from a large carpet tube and brown paper bags.  I went to Home Depot and asked if they had any carpet tubes.  They are usually glad to give you any they have! Then i just slid the brown paper bags over it one by one in an overlapping pattern.  My Job
