2021 Cactus Planner – Freebie!
I had SOoOoOo much FUN making this planner! You don’t even know! Yes, I might have an unhealthy obsession with succulents, and the water color cactus in this planner aren’t helping (at all), but I also LOVE planners. I have way too many (said no one ever). This 2021 planner is available in my Teachers … Continue reading 2021 Cactus Planner – Freebie!
Earth Day Mini Book
One of my favorite things about when my kids were in elementary school was when they’d bring home little books they made in class. Sometimes there would be things “glued on” that fell off with the slightest jiggle. Other times I wouldn’t be able to read what they wrote. But I still loved everything they … Continue reading Earth Day Mini Book

Monthly Newsletter Templates!
If there is one tenet I have as a teacher, it’s the value of communication. Newsletters in email or print form are invaluable. As teachers, we must ensure the families of our kiddos are in the loop when it comes to what we are doing in class. This way, families can help reinforce what we … Continue reading Monthly Newsletter Templates!
Heart-tastic Slideshow Template
I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about Valentine’s Day next month. Usually it’s not really my thing, but this year I’m ready. You might even say I’ve gotten carried away… Not only does this template have ninety-one slides (yes, 91!) it is also SUPER cute! The mint or tangerine colors might be my … Continue reading Heart-tastic Slideshow Template
Book Review
This book is an exceptional tribute to Edgar Allan Poe. Too often, supposed experts on Poe succumb to the trope of portraying him as an unhinged, drug abusing, alcoholic facing one horrendous plight after another. That ends up being the only story we ever hear. What a disappointing way to depict one of the most … Continue reading Book Review
Are You Teaching in 2020?
I keep seeing posts about not buying a 2020 planner, and a good one yesterday was, “I’m not buying a 2021 planner until I see the trailer.” I thought that was hilarious, but so true. Then I thought about it as I looked through my 2020 planner, collecting dust on my desk. There are still … Continue reading Are You Teaching in 2020?
Student Teaching amid a Pandemic (part 1)
I am beyond thrilled to have made it to the student teaching phase of my education. For those of you who don’t know, I am earning my Masters in Teaching Secondary English. I’ve been working on my degree since June of 2019. Little did I know just how different the world would be when I … Continue reading Student Teaching amid a Pandemic (part 1)
This is it! The Big Sale is Here!
I’ve always loved the first few days back at school. I still remember how excited I felt picking out my “first day of school” outfit, shopping for shoes… The butterflies that first morning… Now, as a parent of two middle schoolers, I get to experience those feelings with my own kids. And as a teacher … Continue reading This is it! The Big Sale is Here!
Distance Learning… Again?
Are you staring down the barren hallway of another school year (or semester) spent distance teaching? If we try to look on the bright side, at least this time we’ve had a little chance to prepare – sort of. I remember way, waaaay back in April thinking our extended spring break felt like it would … Continue reading Distance Learning… Again?
