About the store
I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade for the last 8 years. I love teaching and I have always created my own content. I feel I am in a position to help others at this point in my career by putting some finishing touches on my work and getting it out there for other students to enjoy in other classrooms. My style isn't so cute as what may typically seen on TpT, but I do love math and I try to be intentional and thorough when I approach the content. I do have some amazing artist friends though that help keep it cute and original as well!
