About the store
I’m Heather! I’ve spent over 34 years teaching upper elementary in Oregon, and along the way, I’ve earned honors like Disney Teacher Award honoree, Intel Innovative Teacher, Microsoft Innovative Teacher and more.
I design teacher tested, project based, independence building lessons that boost student engagement and free you up to confidently manage your classroom or focus on small groups without behavior hassles. Every activity is rigorously scaffolded for success, so even struggling learners thrive.
My resources are ready to use, well designed, and built to save you time. I create what works in real classrooms, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Plus, it’s all no strings-attached! You’ll never find email pitches or marketing tricks here. Just honest teaching support, with quality and heart.

Teaching style
♥ Project based learning gets students excited and actively engaged in their own learning, giving you more time to work one-on-one with students.
♥ If you integrate real-life context with learning, students never have to ask, "When are we ever going to use this?" because they will KNOW.
♥ Teach each child as if s/he is gifted and talented. Students rise to our expectations. Encourage them to soar!
♥ High Expectations + High Standards = High Achievement
