    Great video Melissa. I have a challenge that my daughter's native language is Spanish and Persian, and I'm trying to teach her English too, but it's so hard to find the correct material. And where I live there seem not to be that many homeschool family to make a community of repetitive people so she actually gets a chance to find friends

    • @melissaisteaching
      @melissaisteaching 11 днів тому

      I understand! We live in a country where there aren't many homeschoolers either and my kids are bilingual. It's tricky to navigate playdates in the different languages, and find material that helps them grow in both languages!

    I recall starting on TPT and falling into the same problem I've had before: My resources have no natural visuals. I've looked into AI art and that seems like it could work. It's also too general. My tools are too flexible, too broad. It's not like "Story based class for 3rd graders", it's more like "Spreadsheet for creating story based curriculums for all levels". Honestly, I'm probably better off looking for more students first, and I'm not sure how to do that either...

      Would love for you to hop into the EverGrow membership, as this type of decision-making and action-taking is what it's for! (payhip.com/b/iK74s) BUT, in the meantime, could you create a cover that's more professional (as this is for the tech-savvy teacher it sounds like)? Forget the typical clip art and colors. Think about a UA-cam thumbnail showing the process the buyer will go on when they have access, maybe?
