About the store
Mr. Elementary is actually a husband and wife team brought to you by Jace and Amy Widmer. We’re two elementary teachers from the Pacific Northwest who love family, teaching and travel.
<p><strong>About Jace</strong>
After receiving a degree in elementary education I jumped right into the classroom where I’ve taught 4th and 5th grade for the last 9 years. Finding ways to help my ELL students understand content became a passion of mine that you’ll see come out in many of our resources. In 2013 I took a break as a classroom teacher to pursue my passion for creating educational resources. Outside of work my hobbies evolve around all things water including: surfing, SUPing, fishing and swimming.</p>
<strong>About Amy</strong>
I also earned a degree in elementary education and spent my first year as a Kindergarten teacher. After that, I spent the next 9 years teaching 2nd and 5th grade starting in the regular classroom and eventually transitioning to a bilingual English/Spanish classroom. I had a very difficult time finding teaching materials in Spanish and ended up translating many resources myself. After the birth of our son I decided to be a “work-at-home mom,” partnering with Jace to create teaching materials and translate the ones we’d made into Spanish. Activities I love include hiking, Zumba, and travel.

Teaching style
<i>Boost comprehension. Build confidence. </i> This is the motto we’ve adopted which reflects our teaching styles. To boost comprehension we focus on sheltered instruction, which means delivering grade level content in a manner that is accessible to all learners. We keep this in mind with each resource we create.
My own education history
Jace and Amy both have:
<p>Bachelor’s Degree: Elementary Education</p>
<p>Master’s Degree: Curriculum and Instruction</p>
<p>Endorsements: Early Childhood Education and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages)</p>
<p>Other Certifications: GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design)</p>
