About the store
We are both teachers of 14 years. The items we post to our store come from our own classrooms, so we know how important high-quality lessons are to you and your students. Thank you for the opportunity to bring our lessons into your classroom.
We have experience in all grades of high school and middle school. We also have vast experiences from previous adventures in elementary school. We are both special education teachers, with certifications in High School Math, Science and English, and have worked in nearly all subject areas with a variety of students.
Since we both teach in different areas our store has a wide array of lessons. You will find many math and english lessons. Denae' has been teaching life skills, work experience, english and social studies classes. During the past few years Patrick has been focused primarily in math including; Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Physics. Therefore, we have some unique lessons that would be difficult to find elsewhere.
