Teaching has been my passion since childhood. I spent countless hours playing “school,” complete with real grade books and planners from the teacher supply store. Of course, teaching was much easier when it was pretend! After graduating college in 2006, I stepped into the classroom for real. Over the next 16 years, I taught 3rd grade for 15 years and spent one year as a substitute teacher. In 2022, I made the decision to leave the classroom to become a stay-at-home mama. Still, the teacher in me never left—I continue creating high-quality, engaging resources that help teachers and their students succeed.
