About the store
Miz Riz Elementary Resources is created by Laura Risdall. Welcome! I have been teaching since 2008, in a variety of settings- including public school, preschool, homeschool, online ESL tutoring, church settings, and substitute teaching. Currently, I am a 2nd grade public school teacher in Minnesota. As I have taught in these settings, I have created and shared resources on my Tpt store. It's a fun mix of everything, but through it all I hope to make teachers' lives easier by creating products, resources, worksheets, and presentations that support learning. Happy Teaching!
