Hello fellow TPT colleagues,
I have taught grades 3, 4, and 5 in Massachusetts for 10 years. Although I loved teaching in a classroom, I recently decided to make a change. I moved to Florida, where I am now self-employed as a homeschool educator and private tutor. I love my job!
Teaching is a second career for me, first being a background in art. One of my goals as a teacher is to incorporate art to make creative, engaging activities for my students. I have so many slideshows and activities I have created over the years, I wanted to be able to share them with others. I hope they can make your life as a teacher a little bit easier, as we all know there aren't enough hours in the day to prepare, create, teach and assess. Enjoy.

Hello fellow TPT colleagues,
I have taught grades 3, 4, and 5 in Massachusetts for 10 years. Although I loved teaching in a classroom, I recently decided to make a change. I moved to Florida, where I am now self-employed as a homeschool educator and private tutor. I love my job!
Teaching is a second career for me, first being a background in art. One of my goals as a teacher is to incorporate art to make creative, engaging activities for my students. I have so many slideshows and activities I have created over the years, I wanted to be able to share them with others. I hope they can make your life as a teacher a little bit easier, as we all know there aren't enough hours in the day to prepare, create, teach and assess. Enjoy.
