About the store
Hi!
I’m an alternative school ELA teacher who’s seen a spectrum of learners – literally everything from the student with advanced skills to the struggling reader. Mix that with a few behavioral challenges, and that’s what makes up most of my days. Due to the dynamic nature of my classrooms, I have to quickly assess needs and come up with ways to support all of my learners - sometimes on the spot. In my quest to meet students where they are, I have begun creating alternative solutions. I would love to see what others are using, so if you have ideas to share, please send them my way! In the meantime, I hope some of my resources can be helpful to you and your students.
Thanks! And bon voyage!
