About the store
Hi!
I have been an educator for 35 years! Most of my time has been spent in Kindergarten, however, in the final stretch of my career, I'm currently teaching 3rd grade and LOVE it! As someone very dear to me once said, "Kindergarten is always a 'feet on fire' situation". There is some truth to that :) As I have learned through the years, you need to have meaningful resources available for little learners to keep them engaged and motivated.
I started my store in December 2024 in hopes to provide teachers with some quality resources. I hope to keep the cost to a minimum for you. Thanks so much for stopping by!
