About the store
I taught for 10 years before choosing to stay home with my 3 beautiful children! Our middle child, was born with Cystic Fibrosis and it was important for me to give her the best life she can! For the first three years, I taught a self contained third grade class at a very At-Risk school. For the last 7 years of my career, I taught fifth grade reading, writing and social studies. I look forward to creating more products that will help aid your teaching in the classroom.
