About Me



My sweet family. 

Hey guys! Welcome :) 

I am so glad that you have taken the time to visit my blog. I have been a public school educator for 10 years now. My area of focus is reading comprehension and Reading Language Arts. I love helping teachers find quick, purposeful activities to assess their students understanding! I believe tasks in the classroom should be fun, fast, and hands-on for the student.

In my Teachers Pay Teachers store, you can find task cards for multiple learning standards, complete with directions and answer keys. I look forward to helping with your teaching endeavors! 

I graduated from the University of Houston in 2014 and then from Lamar University with a Master's in Education in 2018! My first job teaching was as a technology applications teacher. I was then approached by my principal and asked if I'd like to move to language arts and let me tell you, it's the best thing that has ever happened. I absolutely LOVE reading and helping my kids become lifelong readers. 

Currently, I act as an interventionist at my school! I love helping kids and teachers reach their full potential! 

 When I am not reading blogs or books for professional growth, you can find me reading for pleasure. I am an AVID reader and love spreading that joy to my students. I hope they catch on because a good book is infectious.

 I hope you enjoy reading about my little area of the world!

Disrupting Thinking In Your Classroom

Happy Monday! I have been participating in a teacher leadership study with some other teachers in my district this summer. The study was lead by our  Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum , Dr. Anita Hebert! She is fabulous and though I did not get a chance to talk with her personally, I find her very inspiring. It was very informal and an easy going discussion! I felt very compelled to discuss some of the points we hit today at our session as we finished discussing all of our books. We read three books throughout the course of the summer, the first being Grit by Angela Duckworth, Disrupting Thinking by Kylene Beers & Robert Probst, and Leading Change In Your School by Douglas Reeves. (I won't be discussing the last one, as I am actually still finishing it!) In regards to the first book, Grit,  s uch  a great read. I recommend it for anyone looking to build passion and perseverance (or "grit" as she calls it) in your professional or personal life. There i

I teach for all the free stuff

Free stuff?! I know what you're thinking, teachers don't get things for free. WRONG! Don't forget to utilize the wonderful world of Teachers Pay Teachers as well as Pinterest (duh). You can find lots of cool things on there for free! And if it isn't free... it's like $5 (your students are worth it.. trust me). However, this post wasn't inspired from TPT. It was inspired from the fact that every year my principal gets our campus new shirts to wear to convocation and today I got mine! It's probably my favorite part of the start of inservice because: A) there are always the teachers who loathe that we all dress up like some sort of day camp, and I love watching them in pain (oops, that's mean. But I do). B) My outfit is already made for the day, throw on some cute pants and shoes and you are good to go! C) I get to add to my collection of school spirit shirts which we get to wear with JEANS every Friday of the school year. YAAAAS. But okay, let&
