Hi, I am Amy Delmanto and I am The 5th Grade Renegade!  Thank you for stopping by my brandy new website.  I am excited about this new adventure. 

 I started my Teachers Pay Teachers store during the Summer of 2017.  I had one product that I thought was worth selling.  My principal at the time was the first to encourage me to sell it. 

The product was a scavenger hunt for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  We had just taken a trip there with my 5th graders.  I had designed a scavenger hunt to go along with the novel “From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.”  Nothing else like this was available to purchase on TPT.  If there had been I would have bought one instead of making one. 

While at the museum several teachers stopped me to ask where I had purchased the scavenger hunt.  I told them I had made it and they also suggested that I sell it.  I still had trouble believing that anyone would pay money for something that I had created.   

It took me FOREVER but I was able to spruce up my scavenger hunt.  It started to look pretty professional.  I was able to do it because I spent time that summer learning how to use Powerpoint.  I watched tutorials and read articles online.  I then opened a seller’s account on Teachers Pay Teachers and created a free product to post on my new account and posted my first product. 

It took a week but the first time a heard that “CHA-CHING” from the TPT app on my phone I cheered.  It was a whopping $4 but it felt like a million bucks!   After that, I was inspired and I decided that it was time to make some more products.

  I started by designing decorations for my classroom that fall.  My school changes themes every year and the theme for that year was Nautical and I decided I was going to create my own.  So the majority of items in my store that first month were nautical themed.  They were selling though so I decided to design those products in other themes and I now have almost a dozen other themes available. 

It was my goal that eventually selling on TPT would cover me for “summer money” and I would not have to teach summer school or work summer camp.  I was hoping that I could just do that and work from home.  I am almost there.  Thank you for supporting me on this journey!

I survived shot #2! I am not going to lie- it was I survived shot #2! I am not going to lie- it was a doozy! It was way worse than the first dose. I got the shot at 4:00pm on Friday afternoon. I went to bed Friday night and woke up in the middle of the night with severe chills and a fever. I had body aches and pains. I had it all day Saturday and went to bed with it Saturday night. I woke up today (Sunday) morning feeling better. Today I just feel exhausted and have no appetite. I should be fine to go to school tomorrow. It was a crazy ride but since getting Covid with kidney disease could be worse- I am grateful to have gotten the vaccinations. I hope that all of my fellow in person teachers will get their shots soon too if they choose to get one. I also hope that all of the virtual teachers that want the shot will get it so that they can get back to in person learning #covid #vaccinations #moderna #teachingthroughapandemic #shot2
I have had the opportunity to teach at the same sc I have had the opportunity to teach at the same school that I graduated from and also where I met my husband. He is also an alum. We are privileged to be able to send our children there to receive the same Christian education that our parents worked so hard to be able to provide for us! I am happy to be part of the faculty that teaches God’s truth to the next generation! #tcslife #christianschoolteachers #alumniteachersrock
