About the store
Hi! Thank you for buzzing into my little corner.🐝
I’ve been an elementary teacher for 27 years, just like you—I'm doing my best to survive classroom life that includes lost pencils, surprise fire drills, and lesson plans that change by 9:15 a.m. Along the way, I’ve taught all elementary grades and subjects. I spent 10 of those years teaching reading at a local college to supplement my income.
Now, I've decided to share my creativity on TPT. I’m currently focused on developing resources aligned to 3rd grade Florida B.E.S.T. standards, with plans to branch out. My goal is simple: to create easy-to-use, time-saving resources that work in real classrooms—so you can leave school a little earlier or at least finish your coffee while it’s still warm.
