About the store
I taught Kindergarten for 14 years, but my teaching journey actually began in 2003 in a 6th grade classroom teaching English and Reading. God knew what he was doing when he encouraged me to make the huge jump to kindergarten, and I loved spending my days in the exciting world of 5 year olds! I am thrilled to say I am now a reading and math intervention teacher, and I have enjoyed helping many teachers grow in their own education journey with these classroom resources. I am very excited that I get this opportunity to share the incredible resources that make my Kindergarten classroom so successful. It is a joy to my heart and such an encouragement when I hear that I have helped other kiddos out there too!

How do you get the attention of 20+ little 5 year olds who are busy at work?? Our Principal uses a raised hand for the building wide quiet signal.

This can be a little difficult for 5 year olds with their attention going in every which direction. So, I decided not only to give them the visual clue (my hand raised), but an auditory and kinesthetic cl
