About the store

Experience

Hey! I’m Jess — a teacher who’s been making my own classroom resources for a while now. I originally started creating things out of necessity, but it quickly became something I truly enjoy. I opened this store to share what’s worked for me, in hopes it can make things a little easier (and more fun!) for other teachers too. Thanks so much for being here!

Teaching style

My teaching style is all about being a “Nurturing Guide.” I focus on creating a supportive, student-led environment where kids feel empowered to take charge of their learning. It’s not just about academics — it’s about helping students grow into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. I believe in giving them the tools and space to explore, reflect, and thrive — both in and out of the classroom.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to have some truly special moments in my teaching journey — being recognized by my school community for creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences. But honestly, the moments that shine the brightest for me are the little ones: a student’s “aha!” moment, a thank-you note from a parent, or seeing a once-struggling learner grow into a confident leader. Those are the real wins that keep me inspired every day.

My own education history

I graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in Special Education. My background has helped me create inclusive, engaging resources that support a wide range of learners — because every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and successful.
