About the store
Welcome! My name is Jessica, and I’m thrilled to join the Teachers Pay Teachers community! I bring 12 years of teaching experience, with the last three spent teaching 3rd grade. Over the years, I’ve taught 5th grade math, ENL, and various elementary common branch subjects. I love creating simple, effective designs that can be quickly implemented—because let’s face it, teaching is demanding, and we’re all just trying our best. I hope these resources save you time and bring value to your classroom, helping you and your students thrive!
