About the store
Jackie and Kylene have enjoyed many years developing curriculum to use in their own classrooms. Sharing these “creations” with other teachers led to being presenters at state and local conferences and teaching continuing education courses at the university level. We became full time Literacy Facilitators and enjoyed training and coaching teachers in grades K-6. A natural outcome of all this experience led to starting our business of
JK Curriculum Connection. We started selling our products at TeachersPayTeachers because teachers kept asking us where they could acquire our songs and literacy materials. We love to create poems, songs, beginning readers, and non-fiction packets and literacy activities that are fun and educational!
Some of our Best Sellers are our Non-fiction thematic units like "Baffling Bats" and "Peculiar Penguins". These come loaded with Literacy and Math Center activities, resources, supportive photos, and printables. Also popular are our Learning Center games. The game formats create eager students wanting to play them over and over again. Check out at our singables at our other TPT store - JK Singables!
