A Trendy Alice

Welcome to A Trendy Alice Teacher—where teaching meets style, strategy, and sparkle! My goal? To help you teach with confidence and creativity—while keeping things trendy in your classroom. I blend timeless best practices with fresh, fun ideas to create engaging and effective resources for young learners. I have over 23 years of classroom experience, hold a Bachelor of Science in Education from Texas Tech University and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Reading. I’m certified in ESL and Gifted & Talented instruction and have completed extensive training in the Science of Reading—so every resource I create is rooted in research and real-world experience. From K–5, my heart has always belonged to 1st and 2nd grade ELA. I currently teach all subjects in 1st grade at CFISD, where I focus on making learning accessible, joyful, and meaningful for every child. I've also worked behind the scenes contributing to curriculum development and instructional design across multiple districts. Whether you need phonics-based lessons, decodable poems, differentiated comprehension questions, or literacy tools that meet diverse needs, you’ll find thoughtfully crafted, classroom-tested materials here. Thank you for stopping by—I’m thrilled to be part of your teaching journey. Let’s make learning trendy together!
