Hello! I want to thank you for visiting my store and tell you a little about myself. I am a licensed educator with ten years of teaching experience in an elementary classroom setting. I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades. One of my favorite things about being a teacher is creating “just right” resources for my students. I started making some of my own resources when I struggled to find supplemental activities that fit perfectly with my lessons. If I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, I learned to make it myself. As I began creating more and more of my own resources, I found it very rewarding to make games and activities that were fun for students and academically rigorous. When I incorporated these activities into my lessons, I observed two things: students who struggled with motivation began taking ownership of their learning, and students who enjoyed learning showed an even higher level of engagement! My goal with Crafted Classroom is that my products will result in the same outcomes for your students.
