WARNING: If you share my resources with others (e.g. letting colleagues know or posting on social media), please share the link to my website to credit me for my work. I spend a very long time creating each and every resource, and put in lots of extra time to make them accessible and useful to all grade levels instead of just my own.
Donations are not necessary but GREATLY appreciated from the bottom of my heart due to the huge amount of time & care put into creating. ❤️I'm a 3rd year teacher. I started my teaching career a Title I elementary school & (displaced to a) Title I middle school, where I struggled financially with constantly personally funding school materials for my class. I graduated with my Master's at the age of 20 in 2019 from Stanford University's teacher education program as a first generation college student, and am working to pay off loans. Now, I teach 2nd grade as a founding teacher at a brand new public school, but I spend the extra time to create resources that cater to ALL grade levels in hopes that it'll save you time! I am working to build a classroom library. Up until now, I've been trying to fundraise through making digital art on nights and weekends, but have decided to share these all for free. 🙂 Thank you for your love and support!
