About

I taught these before I sold them.

I spent my career teaching English language arts in grades 9 through 12 — general education, special education, AP Language and Composition, and Pre-College ELA: Exploring the Social Sciences, sponsored by the City University of New York. I hold certifications in English 7–12 and Special Education K–12.

Everything in the store started as something I actually needed on a Tuesday: a stations activity because the class couldn't sit still, a vocabulary journal because the textbook's list was useless, a rubric because I was tired of arguing about grades. If a lesson didn't work with real students, it didn't make it here.

Now I build them full time. Questions about whether something fits your grade level? Ask me — I answer every message myself.

Jersey, Quality Assurance Officer

Russian Blue. Reviews every product by sitting on it. Has never once been wrong about which lesson needs another draft, mostly because she declines to comment.
