About the store
HELLO HELLO and welcome to my store.
It has been a DREAM of mine to make changes right here in the city of brotherly love ever since I was little. I didn't know what God was calling me to do but I knew He wanted me to help the future generation that was falling behind. So... it was time to make an impact AS kids were laying a foundation... back in elementary school.
Philadelphia has been my home ever since I can remember! For this reason, I graduated at Temple University with a degree in Early Childhood Education and HAVE NOT LEFT.
It as been 7 years (and growing!) of official teaching experience from grades prek to 4th. And 10 years of international teaching in summer programs throughout Haiti, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Costa Rica, South Korea, and Cambodia.
Please feel free to reach out to me! And thanks for your support.

Classroom Labels for Pre-K and UP - Real Photos - ENGLISH & SPANISH
Labeling your classroom is such an important way to create a PRINT RICH ENVIRONMENT for your little ones. Over 200 different labels to be used in different parts of the class!
Most of the photos are professional photos (stock) or I took them myself in my class. These real photos show the words in a NEW way and some of them may not be taken from the classroom. This helps build schema from what they have once seen/learned before.

Teaching style
All about that individualized instruction. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to jeans (sorry sisterhood of the traveling pants) AND THERE IS NONE in learning. Each child is different and my worksheets are here to aid in further development.

Additional biographical information
I may not have 20 or 30 years of experience (yet) but my passion for education is still burning. I was taught graphic design (adobe) at a young age to help event planning for my church and I have come to TPT to combine my passions to help other teachers like me.
TPT is the largest marketplace for PreK-12 resources, powered by a community of educators.
