About the store
I am a 5th grade teacher in California with over 12 years of experience teaching upper elementary students in grades 3–5, including combo 4th/5th grade classrooms. I have spent years refining my instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners and align closely with state standards and curriculum expectations.
All of my resources are classroom-tested, created from real teaching experience, and designed to support student understanding, confidence, and success—especially when preparing for assessments. I create materials that I use with my own students and truly believe in, with a strong focus on clarity, structure, and student ownership of learning.

Teaching style
Learning should be fun, and so should teaching!
I am a visual learner, and find it is a lot easier to explain concepts with a great visual aid to reference.
I like to create a lot of supplemental materials to help students grasp the concepts being taught. I do this by making anchor charts, fun worksheets, and projects that tap into my student's interests.
