About the store
Not in the classroom currently (#milspouse) but thriving resourcing those who are! That classroom might be your home! I'm hoping to reach teachers and homeschooling parents, especially those just starting out. Most of my teaching years were in preschool settings.

Speaking Foundations BUNDLE - the Basics of Forming Sentences in English
Who is this for?If you have students learning English and all its nuanced rules and mechanics, or someone is working on speaking clearly and effectively, this could be for you. You also might like this bundle, which helps with communication in a more social sense. However, both can be useful together. A note that both bundles have the FULL Verbal Conversation Guide which is a visual practice activity. If you want a different combination of resources between these 2 bundles, email me and I ca

Beginning Letter Sounds Tool
There are 26 separate iterations across 13 activity pages. Not all starting letters are included, but many of the common ones. Presuming most kids who use this are learning letter sounds, no directions are on the activity pages since they may not be reading yet. Instead, it’s designed to have verbal guidance from a teacher or parent. You could even model one of them! The idea is they will shade in the letter that would correctly start the image they see next to each letter chart. It should be ea

Regulate Emotions Guide

This had people with special needs in mind (Autism, emotional deficits, even language delays). This is a 5-page guide with 10 regulation ideas.This resource can be used a couple d

Best Responses / Conversation Practice (Print + Digital)
Inside is a conversation practice activity. It's meant to be done on paper or digitally, but can be done verbally too - whether in a group or one-on-one. I had in mind both children and adults who have either language delays or a special need that makes social nuance difficult to read or pick up on. This could help with social awkwardness too. I've marked younger scenarios with a yellow star and adult scenarios with a red star. If no star appears, it could work for any age. Check each on

Teaching style
I am a list-maker, question-asker, and choice-giver. I am experimental in engaging students in hands-on ways, especially if music is involved.
_________________________________________________________________________
I like when students can stand in class and talk in line. I like when students can put down pencils while learning, and instead can sing or move. I focus on giving students choice and am practicing a lot of differentiation styles for all learning levels.
_________________________________________________________________________
The toughest experience in differentiating was having a class of 30+ 2nd graders, from a few students who could not read the whole alphabet to students reading at 3rd and 4th grade levels. Having to accommodate that was not only necessary, but was a challenge, and it was as successful as it could have been.
