Hi! I'm Amy, the creator behind Ivy & Chalk and a 5th grade math and science teacher currently living in South Carolina.
I've moved quite a bit over the years, giving me the opportunity to experience different schools, communities, and classrooms. Those experiences have shaped the way I teach and inspired me to create resources that are engaging, practical, and easy for teachers to use.
With 18 years of teaching experience, I know firsthand how valuable it is to have lessons that are effective, standards-aligned, and ready to use. Every resource in my store has been classroom-tested and created with real teachers in mind. I love designing activities that get students talking, thinking, moving, and genuinely excited about learning. From task cards and games to escape rooms, morning work, and print-and-go practice, my goal is to help you spend less time planning and more time teaching.
You may be wondering about the name Ivy & Chalk! Ivy is the name of my sweet golden retriever, and it also reflects my love of plants and bringing a little greenery into everyday spaces. Chalk represents my passion for teaching and the classroom. Together, the name perfectly captures the heart behind my store.
Thank you so much for visiting Ivy & Chalk! I hope my resources save you time, bring a little extra joy to your classroom, and help your students build confidence while learning.
Happy teaching!
