About the Author- C.S. Lewis

This resource was created for a 6th-grade English class as a pre-reading activity for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. This could really be adapted for use with any of C.S. Lewis’s books though. It contains links to website and video resources, including biographical information about C.S. Lewis and the child evacuations during WWII, which gives students some historical context for the beginning of the novel. This activity also has students examine different versions of

Fully Editable Chore Chart System

This chore chart was created by a mom at her wit's end with trying to get her kids to consistently do their household duties without whining, complaining, or being nagged to death about it. This list of chores is fully editable and comes with a couple of notes explaining how we use it in our house. In an effort to make sure all chores get completed week-to-week, I sometimes change the font color and my kids need to complete those chores first for the week. I printed this out and put it in a shee

Interview Project- Discrimination

Thank you for purchasing this product!

This usually comes shortly after we finish readi

Bitmoji Classroom Daily Slides

Here are my classroom slides from last year, created to start the year digitally. I wanted the students to feel like they were in my actual classroom as much as I possibly could. It was fun to change up the Bitmoji every day, especially when I could find the perfect one to go along with the novels we read. I was able to embed this Google Slide presentation on Canvas so the kids could see the latest slide every day, and when we got back on campus, I was able to stick with the same format to proje

Super simple but cute way to label and list ingredients for your favorite holiday treats served at a party or included in a gift basket. I usually print these on card stock with each slide a quarter-sized page and cut them out with scallop-edged scissors for an added touch of elegance. These are especially great for those conscious of potential allergens.

Additional biographical information

I know how busy teachers are! After being a classroom teacher for over a decade, I have taken a position as a high school librarian. I absolutely love my job because it allows me to help teachers save time by developing useful materials and resources that foster creativity and critical thinking skills. I make most of my materials fully editable, but if I have a resource that just needs a little tweak, feel free to let me know, and I will customize it to fit your needs! Have an idea for a worksheet, assignment, or project but just don't have time to create it from scratch? Let me know, and I can help with that, too!
