About Me

Teaching in a primary classroom can be overwhelming!

 

Have you ever wondered…

How can I meet all the demands of teaching and still make sure I am teaching my students to be good world citizens?

How can I encourage my students and raise their self-esteem when learning to read is on the line?

How can I teach my kiddos to always be honest to persevere when things get hard yet cover everything in my lesson plans?

If youโ€™ve ever thought this, you are not alone.  I have felt it too! After years of teaching first grade and feeling like I was on a hamster wheel, doing whatever I needed to do to get through the day, I realized I wasnโ€™t happy with the education I was giving my students. I didnโ€™t like the teacher I was because deep down I wanted to be more for them.

  • I wanted learning to be fun for my students!
  • I wanted us enjoy each other and learn from each other!
  • I wanted to better prepare my students!
  • I wanted to feed my students hearts and minds!
  • I wanted my version of a grace-filled classroom!
So…. I changed. I refocused on what was important!

AND if I can do it, you can too!

That is why I started this blog! I want to encourage teachers, like you, who are passionate about teaching and love their students to find simple ways to fill their students' hearts and minds.
I know that your time is valuable and you donโ€™t have time to score the internet for ideas so it is my mission to help you!  I want to provide you with resources and ideas that are easy to implement in your classroom and help get rid of the feeling that you arenโ€™t doing enough for your students.

I want to help empower you…to encourage you to be the best version of yourself. When you are confident in your teaching, this will reflect in your classroom, and your students will feel empowered through you.

To help you out with encouraging your students' hearts and minds, I would love to give you this FREEBIE + you'll receive all future email freebies from me too!

A little bit more about me…

I live in sunny, Southern California with my husband and doggy, Mila. We live so close to Disneyland that we can watch the firework show every night from our couch! So, yes, I do love all things Disney.

I also love all things girly, nerdy, and glittery! AND anything school related… Flair pens, post-its, labels! Books…I love books. I love to read…everything. I'm the girl that will read the back of the menu just because there is a story printed on it.

I love all the Harry Potter series, Hunger Games, and yes, even the Twilight series.  I've been known to pick up my students after recess with a book in my nose and semi-leading the students back to class but not really knowing what's going on since I'm too busy reading. (Shhh…don't tell my principal.)

Lastly, I am blessed! Blessed beyond measure. I have a loving husband and a loving family. Both my parents are still with me and they bring so much joy to our family. I have loyal and faithful friends. And while I am a work in progress, I am blessed and filled with God's graces!

I don't have the best life, but I don't need it. I have a blessed life and I love it!

I'd love to hear from you! Leave a message below. Tell me about what you are passionate about when it comes to your classroom!
