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!

Blogger Recognition Award--- passing it along!

Hey all! First of all, happy Friday! Let me start by thanking the guys over at " The Football Outcasts " once again for nominating me for this Blogger Recognition Award! I think this is a GREAT way to have all of us bloggers go out and see what everyone else is writing about. I noticed whenever I went back to check the comments and begin sorting through peoples blogs that Admin had disabled comments for my post requesting for you to comment blog links (no big deal). HOWEVER, that being said.. I only had 14 people leave their blog links. So, I know I said I would recognize 10 bloggers but I went through all of them and decided I am only going to recognize 5. After all, this IS supposed to be an award of some type and I really didn't want to just recognize you all (although, I have to tell you all of your blogs were like 50 THOUSAND times prettier and put together than mine). The best part about this award is it is going to be different for every single  person ...

Singing the Monday Blues

Ah, Monday. The first day to the start of the week and for most, the least favorite day of the week. However, not so for me today! I have got my hands full with my niece and nephew, who are just about the cutest things I have ever seen. So today marks 2 weeks before I go back to school, and even sooner before I start attending some good ol' Professional Development. I have been thinking a lot about my classroom management and things about it that must change and things about it that I'll keep. Here is something I have realized in my past two years of teaching: Kids need procedures and kids need consistency . Let me tell you, I kind of suck at both. I am very free spirited and as such my classroom reflects this... it's messy. Which is ironic! Because I would not describe myself as a messy person (even if there are 400 things going on in my brain at one time). I plan on adjusting both of these things accordingly next year. However, one thing I absolutely  love, and i...

Freebie Friday- advice and tools for your classroom management this year

Hey all, I know I already said this today-- but happy Friday! Today was the first official  day of my districts work calendar. We all went to convocation (which is where we all get super hyped about teaching all our students this year) then went back to our campus to get to know our new teachers and how our campus will run this year. That being said, I want to give a shout out to all you new teachers ! Welcome to your career! I have to tell you, I originally wanted to teach because I had been waiting tables since I was 16 (I started teaching at 24) and I just thought "I NEED STEADY MONEYYY AND STEADY HOURS"! With a video production major (and not willing to relocate because I'm a total momma's girl), I decided to turn to teaching. My brother is a teacher as is my sister in law and I have always enjoyed  children. So, off to alternative certification I went. Anyway.. blah, blah, blah. I substituted and then BAM I landed my first gig. The point of the story i...
