About the store
I’ve been a classroom teacher for the past 19 years, but it wasn’t until I was transferred into first grade twelve years ago that I truly found my calling. Seeing the growth children make in their reading and writing skills in this one year is amazing. I’m able to witness the beginning of their educational journey and I hope I’m able to nurture a love of learning in the process. I’ve always enjoyed created materials to use in my classroom, but joining the TpT community has inspired me all the more. I love being part of a group of educators that are always looking for ways to improve upon their craft. You are ever evolving as an educator and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
