About the store
Welcome! I’m Rebecca — a longtime educator with a background in wildlife biology and a deep love for the natural world. Before teaching, I spent years as a field biologist, studying species like red fox, coyotes, piping plovers, sandhill cranes, black-footed ferrets, and Pacific salmon. In between field seasons, I had the opportunity to work in environmental education — and that’s when I realized I wanted to work with a different kind of wildlife… 5th graders!
I have been in the classroom for 22 years, working primarily with 4th-6th graders. I’m excited to share classroom-tested resources that have helped me over the years. I started Learning at 58°North as a way to share some of these materials, with the hope that they might help lighten the load, and bring a little more ease and joy into your classroom. I know how valuable it is to find something that saves time and works well with students, and I hope my creations can do just that for you!
