About the store
Scaffold Studio – Engaging Classroom Resources for Reading, Writing, Mindfulness, and Brain Workouts. I create ready-to-use materials for K–5 teachers that make learning fun and meaningful.
With 13 years in special education, I’ve had the privilege of supporting students in a variety of settings—from sub-separate classrooms, to schoolwide roles in full inclusion environments across Massachusetts, to teaching social wellness through mindfulness, SEL, and yoga.
One thing has remained constant: scaffolding is the backbone of meaningful learning.
I also know firsthand how time-consuming it can be to create effective scaffolds that truly meet student needs.
That’s where Scaffolding Studios comes in.
My goal is simple—to save you time and energy by providing ready-to-use, thoughtfully designed supports, so you can focus on what matters most: your students, your classroom, and the impact you make every day.
