January 2016 Monthly Newsletter

Happy New Year, everyone! I can't believe it's 2016! This is going to be a great year! I can feel it! Welcome to all my new followers! Here's what's going on this month!

My goFundme project!

I have started a gofundme project to purchase a projector and portable Interactive Whiteboard. You can also donate on my official goFundme page. If you donate $5, you can get any bundle from my TPT Store. If you donate $10, you can choose any 3 bundles in my TPT store. You can get theses perks on my official goFundme page. You can also donate $1 by purchasing a $1 donation on in my TPT store. My goal is to reach $700 by the end of the school year! A big shout out to Kelly Malloy and Kathy Illington for making my first two donations!

Annual Monthly Sale

Mark your calendars for my weekend sale. It begins January 16, 2016 through January 19, 2016. Take advantage of some great products at a reduced price. Get some fun winter games and Valentine's Day activities!

New Years Resolution Blog Hop!

Hop on over to my Blog on January 9 for The Classroom Clique's New Years Resolution Blog Hop! Check out some wonderful goals for the new year!

Upcoming Changes!

This is most important! I'm currently updating my entire store so please excuse the mess! I hope to have it done before the end of the year. I plan to increase the princes of my PowerPoint games only. My yearly license will still be $25 a year. As I am approaching 300 PowerPoint games, the permanent license will increase to $150. Now's a great time to get it before the prices increase.

Monthly FreebieI didn't have a chance to complete last month's set of freebies so here they all are! Enjoy!

What's in Your Cart Linky Party

I'm happy to share with you some great items to pick up from my TPT store as well as a few things I know I will be grabbing from some other sellers during the site wide TPT Sale. With only a limited time frame of 2 days, it's time to grab them and grab them quickly!

The first item I would grab is my Powerpoint Game Permanent License.

This license entitles you to all the powerpoint games I have ever made! It also grants you access to any and all games that I make in the future. I've already made over 200 games for grades K through 6th. Though they are mostly math games, I plan to largely expand to reading, writing, science, and social studies this year. This would grant you access to those games and more for the rest of your life.

If you're not so sure and you want something a little smaller you can purchase a yearly license (which guarantees at least 25 games).

Next up, I would get this Beginning Sounds Bundle. This bundle comes with 4 games. Your students will love playing theses games with you or by themselves as a phonics/literacy center.

There are 4 games in this bundle. Each games asks for a beginning sound that matches a picture, but each in a different way. The first game displays the entire word, except for the first letter. The second game asks you to match the picture with 3 letter choices. The third game asks you to match letter sound to 3 pictures (opposite of the second). The last game is a bingo game. Students match the picture with the letter sound on their bingo cards. There are 30+ bingo cards, call sheets and cards, and includes a blank card to create your own game.

Each game can be purchased separately, but you can save more when you purchase the bundle. Great to use throughout the entire school year.

Lastly, you need to prepare before the first day of school so I would buy this Editable Open House Presentation.

Ah, open house. A time for teachers to meet their students and parents. A time for parents and students to meet the teacher. A time to get a quick glance at the classroom and get through all that beginning of the year paperwork! You can easy through that transition with the powerpoint presentation.

This 15 slide presentation shows your students and parents information about your classroom. Includes slides about classroom rules, schedule, school supplies, homework policy, behavior plans and more. Best of all, it's editable so you can change the fonts and colors. A great start to the school year for only $2.00.


There are definitely a few stores I will be stopping by during the TPT Sale. Most of it will be clip and fonts, but I'll be grabbing a few bundles here and there.

I'll definitely by stopping by Whimsy Clips' store. I love her clip art, especially for ELA. They are so clear and easy to read orsee.

I'll also be purchasing some more font licenses from KG Fonts. I love her fonts so much. I try my hardest to buy font licenses from her during a sale. That's when her license drops down to about $4 and since I buy $20 worth, I can get 5 fonts instead of 4 fonts during a sale.

These are in my shopping cart. What's in yours?

July Monthly Newsletter

Greetings everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer. The sun it out and heat is on! Here’s what going on with Powerpoint Gaming this month.

   

TPT Conference

I'm headed to the TPT Conference next week. I'm so excited! I hope to see many of you there. I even sent in a request to TPT that in future they extend the conference so we could have a buyers conference so sellers could meet some of their favorite buyers! I certainly would love me some of you! While I'm at the conference, my store will be on sale!  July 8th through Saturday July 11th.
 

Big Thank You and Welcome!
I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who entered my 1,000 Follower Spectacular! It was a great success! I greatly appreciate it. I’d also like to welcome all the new followers. You’re in for a treat!

 

 

Powerpoint Game Update

I'm still working on PPT game updates. Be sure to check "My Purchases" and re-download some of them. I'm also still making games, but on a much smaller scale (1 to 2 new games each week).

 

Yearly License and Permanent License

For those of you who purchased a Yearly license, the subscription is coming to an end. There are 2 new methods to renewing your license.

Option 1: Buy the 2015-2016 License for $25

Option 2: Buy the Renewal License for $15 (If you're on a budget).

  

Also, since the number of powerpoint games has increased (over 200 games), I am increasing the Permanent license to $125. This change will take place August 1st so if you're think of the buying a permanent license, the best time to get it is during the Las Vegas Sale or monthly Sale!
 

Monthly Sale

My monthly sale will by July 24 – July 26. My entire store will be on sale (A great time to get that permanent license even cheaper before the price increase).

 

 

 

 

End of the Year Survey!

It’s that time again! It’s been a great school year at TPT. I’m happy with what I have accomplished and I’d love to hear your opinion. If you can, please take a moment to take this brief survey about Powerpoint Gaming. Once complete, you’ll be entered to win a $10 TPT Gift Card.

 

 
Follower Freebie
So last month's follower Freebie was unfinished! (My Bad). Getting mixed up with request, the TPT conference, and well, life in general had me all discombobulated. Here's the third follower freebie in this set. You can get the second game here for free as well. I'll be adding the last 2 games later this month on Facebook so be sure to check back there each week! 

Adding Unlike Fractions

So much going on when there's no school. Stay cool this summer and don't work too hard! See ya next month!
