About the store
Hi! I’m a first grade teacher and the creator behind Kindness & Cutouts.
I design hands-on, meaningful resources that make learning engaging, purposeful, and joyful for early elementary classrooms. As a first grade teacher, I know how important it is to balance strong academic foundations with creativity, movement, and social-emotional growth — so every resource I create is classroom-tested and kid-approved.
In my store, you’ll find:
• Literacy crafts and phonics activities
• Math centers and skill practice
• Social-Emotional Learning resources
• Seasonal hands-on projects
• Low-prep printables designed with real teachers in mind
My goal is simple: to help you save time while creating a classroom rooted in kindness, confidence, and connection. I truly believe kindness is a curriculum too — and it deserves space in every classroom.
Thank you so much for being here! 💛
