About the store
Welcome to my store! I'm Susanne, a passionate educator with over 25 years of experience in 1st through 8th-grade classrooms. My focus has been on middle school STEM and art. I started creating my resources because I saw a need for more hands-on lessons focused on using art to teach complex science concepts. Every resource you find here was made to focus on one of the NGSS Standards. I have ensured that each is engaging, effective, and easy for you to implement. My goal is to create high-quality, rigorous, and time-saving materials so you can focus on what matters most: your students.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you find something that makes your teaching life a little easier.
