About the store
This is my 26th year in education. I have been a virtual teacher for grades K-5, kindergarten classroom teacher, 4th grade classroom teacher, preschool teacher, and am currently an early literacy coach. I am constantly creating things to make the job easier for myself or my teachers. Creating fun and interactive materials helps with engagement and participation tremendously. I spend a lot of time with teachers getting back to basics and trimming the educational "fat" that is included in many curriculums and programs. Hopefully something in my store will help you in your educational setting.
