"My students loved this resource and so did I! This took a somewhat lackluster morning meeting where I was scrambling to find activities each day to an organized, motivating time of the day. My class loved the questions & activities and I appreciated how versatile the resource was. It was great that they were editable and could be used as power points or on google slides. Morning Meeting quickly became my students' favorite time of the day."

I’m a houseplant-obsessed, coffee-guzzling, adventurer and upper elementary teacher from the Midwest! One of my core values is relationships first, which is why I’m so passionate about classroom community. It started inside of my own classroom as I was teaching abroad in Tanzania, East Africa and has exploded into sharing my simple yet effective strategies with teachers like you!
As a fourth grade teacher, I had *THAT* class (you know the one). I knew it wouldn’t be easy to create a focused, safe, and caring community (and it wasn’t! We spent the first half of the school year knee-deep in drama & behavior struggles), but through consistency and the tools I share with you, we became a class family.
I believe that all kids deserve and desire to learn & love - and I know that behind your tired eyes and stack of ungraded papers, you have the biggest heart for your students and want to set up your class for success. It’s hard work and may seem counterintuitive when you have SO many standards to teach, but it is 100% worth it. You’ll get more teaching done in less time when you first start with the heart!
The good news is you don’t have to fly this plane alone - I’m here as your copilot! Let’s transform your classroom from turbulent to thriving, so you can prepare your students for their bright futures!
Is building Classroom Community a struggle for you? I have developed a unique plan specific for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers to help you nurture a respectful, safe, and thriving class culture, so you can spend more time TEACHING and less time dealing with the drama.
