New Free Resource Offer + 2026 Winter Olympics Classroom Favorites

Happy Saturday, friends. If you’ve been around the Caravan Sonnet Shoppe on Teachers Pay Teachers for a while—or if you’ve just found your way here—this post is a small thank-you and a big celebration all wrapped into one.

First,  A Thank-You Gift from the Caravan Sonnet Shoppe
Community matters deeply to me, and your reviews truly help this small, independent shop continue to grow. So I am offering a small gift- if you leave a review in the Caravan Sonnet Shoppe, you can choose one FREE resource (up to $3 in value) as my thank-you.

How it works:
1. Leave a review on any resource in the shop
3. Tell me which resource you’d like
4. I’ll send it to you directly as an attachment

It’s my way of saying thank you for supporting thoughtful, real-world teaching. Truly—it means more than I can say.

Teaching Toward the 2026 Winter Olympics
With the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano & Cortina just around the corner, I’ve been building classroom resources that connect current global events with personal finance, economics, and decision-making skills—designed specifically for upper high school and college students.

These are lessons you can use immediately: practical, relevant, and grounded in the kinds of financial choices students will actually face.

2026 Winter Olympics Resources in the Shoppe

A complete, ready-to-teach bundle including PowerPoints, activities, and guided notes—perfect for a full week of lessons tied to the Winter Games.
Students explore the real costs of attending the Olympics—travel, lodging, tickets, and daily expenses—while practicing budgeting and financial analysis.

Olympic Resources for a $1.00

All Resources Below Are Just $1.00 Each!! These are perfect for bell ringers, sub plans, small groups, or quick real-world applications:
Students plan a realistic Olympic-themed travel budget and confront real financial trade-offs.
A simulation of exchange rates, ATM fees, and international transaction costs students will actually encounter.
Based on a Wall Street Journal podcast featuring former Olympic athletes—students connect income, sponsorships, and financial risk to real lives.
Reinforces financial literacy and Olympic vocabulary in a low-pressure, engaging format.
A quick printable option for review days or collaborative warm-ups.

As the Winter Games approach, these lessons give students space to think critically, collaborate meaningfully, and connect classroom learning to the wider world.

Thank you—for supporting small creators, and for being part of this thoughtful, creative teaching community. I hope these Winter Olympics resources bring energy, curiosity, and relevance into your classroom this season!!
