About the store
I began my teaching career in 1998. I have worked with students from kindergarten to 5th grade. I have also worked as a Library Media Specialist, and a Dyslexia Therapist. I love being able to say that, EVERYONE is my student. I love inspiring students to appreciate the love of learning. Hopefully, this will be my legacy to them.
In addition to teaching, I enjoy creating planning resources especially geared towards those in education. Be sure to check our these resources, designed to help you organize your teaching life!
