As a K-8 librarian and technology teacher, I've had the joy of working with learners across all elementary and middle school grade levels, helping them discover the magic of both books and digital literacy.
Over nearly two decades in education, I've developed a deep understanding of what works in real classrooms and what doesn't. My specialty is creating unique, ready-to-use lesson plans that save you precious time while engaging your students in meaningful learning experiences.
Whether you're looking for innovative library lessons, technology integration activities, or cross-curricular resources, my materials are designed with one goal in mind: making your teaching life easier while delivering exceptional learning outcomes for your students.
I believe great teaching resources should be practical, engaging, and immediately usable—because I know how valuable your time is! Browse my store to find lesson plans that have been classroom-tested and teacher-approved.
Happy teaching!

Check-out Check-Up
Keeping control during checkout is usually the hardest part of the library class. I created these simple slides to let the kids know how they were doing. This slideshow is completely editable. I used emojis to have it be something non-readers can understand. I usually change up the emojis or colors each month or so. If I didn’t, the kids just got used to the loud/sad emojis and ignored them. I hope this helps keep your sanity. There is a K-2 one as well. Look out for it in the HoundTechTeacher T
