About the store
Academic interventionist turned kindergarten teacher. Currently on pause to be a stay at home mama. I create fun and engaging crafts that align to your teaching standards, as well as many thought provoking activities to encourage your students to grow up to be exceptional citizens. You can also find organizational resources for your teacher planning. Teaching is no walk in the park, but my hope is to share these resources with you and your students and help you stay smitten with teaching!
I began teaching in 2017 and decided to soak up toddler hood with my little princess in 2023. Leaving the classroom was such a difficult choice for me, but my love for teaching remains! I'm beyond grateful to be able to pour into my resources for you and your classroom (aka your home away from home).
For the past seven years I have obsessed over creating fun, engaging, and supportive resources for my students. I'm so happy to make them available to you!

Do Unto Otters Writing/Cut and Paste Craft - Anchor Chart Pocket Chart Activity
This resource is perfect for the first day or first week of school with your littles! I pair this with the read aloud "Do Unto Otters". As a class, we work to sort into "I like when otters" and "I do not like when otters" categories into a pocket chart, or anchor chart paper (pieces included). Then students craft their otters and sort their personal choices for each category. There is a writing page available for upper primary grades as well. Credits + TOU included in purchase.

Teaching style
Balance is everything.
I believe in supporting teachers so they can best support their students.
Learning should be student centered and aimed to teach the whole student.
My own education history
I graduated from Rowan University with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education.
Additional biographical information
Just a girl in her 30's who has always loved being creative. Currently working for two strong willed little girls day in and day out. Probably reading a book or making an unaesthetic list for something. Loves the beach and spooky season.
