About the store
Hi! I’m Beth, a PNW educator who loves to create inclusive, engaging, minimal-prep activities for 3rd-5th grade! After 25+ years of teaching upper elementary (just about every subject), I know that our students need more support than the average curriculum provides. My goal is to help students surprise themselves by achieving more than they thought possible. My classroom mixes high expectations with flexibility and plenty of laughter. I believe in learning together through real conversations, fostering both academic success and personal growth through genuine connection. Time4Change is a reminder that we as teachers always need to grow and change to better meet the needs of our students, and to embrace that necessary change. We are lifelong learners!
