About the store
Welcome to Educated by Kay! My store combines over a decade of classroom teaching experience with a heartfelt commitment to student well-being and social-emotional growth. As an educator and school counseling intern, I create resources that not only teach academic skills but also nurture emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and positive classroom behaviors.
Inside my store, you’ll find:
Creative, hands-on lessons that blend literacy, math, science and art for meaningful learning experiences.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) activities rooted in real-life school counseling strategies to help students build self-awareness, empathy, and resilience.
Social skills lessons and behavior supports designed to foster emotional regulation and positive peer interactions.
SPED-friendly resources developed in collaboration with special educators to meet the diverse needs of all learners.
Movement-based games, scavenger hunts, and interactive activities that turn learning into an active, engaging adventure.
Every resource is crafted with the goal of helping students thrive academically and emotionally—because true learning happens when both the mind and heart are engaged.
