About the store
Welcome to Casey’s Class!
I design middle & high school world history resources built for real classrooms, real pacing, and real students.
In this store, you’ll find lessons that:
• Ask students to analyze, rank, debate, create, and justify with evidence
• Combine structure with creative thinking rather than worksheets alone
• Work as full lessons, extensions, or meaningful end-of-unit tasks
• Are designed to be taught without overhauling your schedule or prep time
I’ve been teaching for over 30 years across social studies, language arts, and upper elementary classrooms. The resources here are ones I’ve used, revised, and returned to year after year with my own students.
My goal is simple: clear directions, purposeful student work, and lessons that feel worth the time you spend teaching them.

Maya Aztec Inca Activities Bundle | Mesoamerican Civilizations Lessons
From the first slide, students are active participants. They sketch life at the base of a Maya pyramid, rotate through a live calendar simulation, and invent their own glyphs. In the Aztec lesson, they step into the roles of engineers planning a city, making decisions rooted in power and faith. During the Inca study, they design and test solutions to engineering challenges and take part in a class system simulation that makes social structures come to life. I’ve built prompts directly into t

Teaching style
I believe history makes the most sense when students can see it, hear it, taste it, move through it, and argue about it. I intentionally enrich lessons with primary voices, role-play, food samples, music, movement, games, and reenactments, not as extras, but as tools for understanding. These experiences help students of all abilities access complex ideas and remember them long after the unit ends.
Yes, that’s me in the plague doctor costume. Costumes aren’t required, but curiosity is. My classroom is built around engagement, participation, and the belief that learning should feel active and human.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My students are my most honest reviewers, and their feedback shapes everything I create. I was honored to receive my site’s Teacher of the Year award some years ago, but what matters most to me are the handwritten notes, the hallway visits, and the “do you remember when…” conversations that follow students long after they leave my room.

Outside the classroom, I’m a mom of two grown kids, married to my high school sweetheart, and happiest when I’m traveling or reading. I hope these resources support your teaching and give your students something worth remembering.
