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!


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 2nd year teacher with 1 year of experience combined at a Title I elementary school & (displaced to a) Title I middle school, where I struggled a lot financially with always personally funding school materials for my students. 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 4th grade, but I spend the extra time to create resources that cater to ALL grade levels in hopes that it'll save you time! My students and I are fully remote, so I mail handwritten encouragement cards and homemade stickers to them. 💌 Donations will go toward stamps, cards, and a class set of books I want to purchase for my students as end-of-the-year gifts. I will also be a founding teacher at a new public school next year and 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 decided to share these all for free. 🙂 Thank you for your love and support!
