Ms Classy

Welcome! I’m Valarie, a passionate ELA educator with over a decade of classroom experience across upper elementary and middle school. I specialize in creating engaging, standards-aligned resources that save teachers time while boosting student learning. Whether you're looking for dynamic lesson plans, creative writing activities, or classroom-ready ELA units, my goal is to make your teaching life a little easier—and a lot more fun. I believe in practical, purposeful materials that truly work in real classrooms. Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here!

I believe in a learning community where students come to rely on one another as learners. If we want students to become more involved in their own learning, then as teachers we need to learn how to relinquish more of our own control, but do so in an organized classroom setting. In order for students to become informed participators in the classroom it is my job as the educator to engage, challenge, and inspire them in each and every lesson. I like to use a mixture of whole group, small group, partner, and individual activities to appeal to all learners and achieve full engagement in my lessons.

I graduated High School in 2009. I attended Louisiana State University for four years and graduated in 2013.
