About the store
Hey, friends! I’m Mary, and I’m here to help you engage little learners with integrated and FUN learning experiences without sacrificing your personal and family time. I know what it’s like to need supplements to the curriculum, but not have enough time in your day. I truly believe it’s possible to engage little learners with integrated and hands-on learning experiences EASILY without sacrificing your personal and family time. This is why I create (and use!) easy-to-print and prep lessons and activities rooted in best practices that have been classroom-tested and student-approved.
I’m passionate about teaching little learners so they want to learn and run to their activity. Helping their teachers be the best they can be is a great perk as well. I am a current classroom teacher with 21 years of teaching experience.
In 2008, I was looking for ways to reach my students in the classroom and could not find what my little learners needed. I decided to create it myself. All these years later, I am continuing to do the same thing and share this with you.
