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.

❤️ this! Make sure you grab these SIMPLE and POWERFUL labels to use this year!Representation matters!! We know how important it is for our students to feel represented in school in all ways, whether it be in the characters in the books they read or the historical figures they learn about. That’s why I was so excited to find these Colors of the World markers and crayons from @crayola at @target this summer. As soon as I brought them home my daughter could barely wait to find her skin tone match! Her whole face lit up when she found the marker that best represented her beautiful dark skin. These sets of markers and crayons will be making their way to my hubby’s 4th grade classroom this year. I created these labels using these adorable clips from @lettersfrommikelle. You can download a free copy of these labels by using the link in my profile. The containers were from the Target Dollar Spot and came in packs of two!! Hope these markers will make their way into your classroom this year! bit.ly/3CyWXGL....#teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofinsta #instateacher #teachersofig #igteachers #teacherlife #iteachtoo #teachergram #tpt #teachersoftpt #teacherspayteachers #elementaryteachers #onlinelearning #teacherresources #teachingideas #teachingresources #backtoschool #targetdollarspot #targetteachers #teacherslovetarget ...
