About the store
I create resources that make teaching SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE by focusing on how young students actually learn! I’m a busy mom, and I’m in the classroom everyday, JUST LIKE YOU. I know how frustrating it can be to have to find or write all of your lessons yourself OR have to follow a big box curriculum that just doesn’t make sense to your students. The lessons I design are EASY TO USE and ENGAGING to young learners.

I create resources that make teaching SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE by focusing on how young students actually learn! I’m a busy mom, and I’m in the classroom everyday, JUST LIKE YOU.

Teaching style

I firmly believe in a natural progression from hands-on to the abstract for my young learners. My years of experience have taught me the value in taking things step-by-step; that the structured progression from modeling to guided practice to independent practice is vitally important and can't be circumvented. It is my hope that my materials reflect my beliefs about the stages of learning for young children and that they will be helpful for other teachers to implement and enhance their instruction.
