Teaching style
ORGANZE. THINK. TEACH.
I believe in developing independence and teaching students to think on their own, think through their actions, and develop an awareness of good choices.
My work featured here on TeachersPayTeachers reflects that and the need to differentiate for all students as well as how to keep it streamlined, effective and simple for you, the teacher.

Additional biographical information
Kindergarten is awesome.
The world of kindergarten is such a unique place…
The stuff we get to teach for the first time, the cats we have to herd at the beginning of each year and the growth we get to see – makes it so special.
I’m Leslie and I’ll be the first to admit that I love it! ❤️
I’m all about revealing the things that help you organize, think and teach your best in k. 🙌🏻
I believe we can hold tight to the beauty in teaching kindergarten. While it’s not always easy – it can be simple: Planning, organization, rigorous expectations with an age-appropriate approach makes learning fun and the cool thing to do.
So – let’s do this together!
Just a warning:
Now, my website and my products are NOT for all teachers. Not even for all kindergarten teachers.
They're just for kindergarten teachers who want to:
✔️ think and work smart
✔️ teach in fun, age-appropriate ways
✔️ pick classroom systems and routines that lead to student responsibility and more effective lessons
And because I’m not a fan of worksheets (or curriculum for that matter) you won’t find the fluffy, busy-work stuff here.
I truly believe in teaching kindergarten students how to be pretty incredible along with teaching them to read, write and think for themselves. It’s how I ran my classroom for over 10 years.
All of my experience is in kindergarten – it’s my wheelhouse and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
On a Personal Note
I’m not your average kindergarten teacher. I won’t claim to be – nor will I claim to know everything about teaching kindergarten or claim to be a guru.
But I do have enough experience challenging the status quo of teaching and challenging myself to know what works and what doesn’t in the world of teaching five and six-year-olds.
Here are a few more things you should know about me:
✅ I love Jesus (I claim 2 Cor. 3:17 over this little slice of the internet), my family, hitting up zoos and aquariums and I’m a huge fan of Disney World.
✅ I have traveled the world which makes me recognize that I love home {wherever my family is} best. Currently, I am working from home as I raise my own pack of readers.
✅ I’ve been sharing online since 2010 and I’m pumped to have you here.
