About the store

Hi! I’m Francesca! I'm a NYC teacher and the creator behind this shop. I’ve been teaching in New York City for 17 years and am dually certified in General Education and Special Education. While I love elementary education as a whole, special education has always been where my heart is. I especially love taking curriculum and classroom materials and finding ways to make them more accessible, approachable, and meaningful for all learners. Throughout my career, I found myself constantly remaking the materials I purchased because so many were visually overwhelming, filled with distracting graphics, and hard-to-read fonts with improper letter formation. Instead of supporting students, the design often became another barrier. ✏️ So I started creating my own. Every resource in this shop is thoughtfully designed to be clean, simple, accessible, and differentiated. I believe students do their best learning when materials are clear, uncluttered, and developmentally appropriate. You’ll find minimal designs, easy-to-read fonts with proper letter formation, and purposeful activities without unnecessary distractions. Nothing flashy here...just intentional, teacher-created resources designed to support real students in real classrooms. Thank you so much for being here and supporting my little shop. I truly hope these resources help make your teaching life easier and your students feel confident, capable, and successful. 🤍
