Teachers Pay Teachers Update

I posted a few lesson materials on Teachers Pay Teachers about 2 weeks ago, and I am excited to report that I have had several sales already earning almost $10! Not a huge amount obviously, but some cash anyway. I really think its something worth teachers trying out. It could at least earn you some extra bucks for classroom materials.
