About Stephanie

I create resources that make teaching SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE by focusing on how young students actually learn! I’m a busy mom, and I’m in the classroom everyday, JUST LIKE YOU.  I know how frustrating it can be to have to find or write all of your lessons yourself OR have to follow a big box curriculum that just doesn’t make sense to your students. The lessons I design are EASY TO USE and ENGAGING to young learners.
