Hi, I'm Toni, a third grade teacher, curriculum creator, and teacher mom behind Toni in Primary! With over 15 years of classroom experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching a wide range of learners and have learned firsthand the importance of making instruction meaningful, manageable, and inclusive for every student.

As a full-time teacher and busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to juggle lesson planning, data, small groups, and the never-ending to-do list, all while trying to actually enjoy teaching. That’s one of the main reasons I created Toni in Primary, to share practical, low-prep resources that help simplify instruction without sacrificing quality. My goal is to take some of the stress off your plate and put engaging, effective tools in your hands that you can use right away.

Whether you're looking for standards-aligned review games, strategies for reaching diverse learners, or time-saving teaching tips, you’ll find support here. Everything in my TpT store is designed to help make instruction and learning more accessible, not just for students, but for teachers too. I believe all kids can learn when given the right tools, and I believe all teachers deserve resources that actually make their lives easier.

Through my blog and resources, I’m here to cheer you on, share what’s worked in my own classroom, and help you feel more confident in reaching every learner. Thanks for being here. I’m so glad we’re on this teaching journey together!
