About Me!
Hey, I'm so glad that you are here!
My name is Jamie! I am passionate about helping educators to teach without all of the stress that can come along with it.
I love creating new resources that will challenge diverse learners while making it fun!
If this sounds like something you need, we are going to be great friends!
My Experience
Ten years ago, I began my adventure as a teacher. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I am alsocertified in TESOL & Birth Through Five, including VPK.
The majority of my teaching experience took place in pre-k and 3rd grade as a Title I teacher, however, I have also taught at many other grade levels.
I am super thankful to my most recent teaching position at a charter school. This position gave me the freedom to be able to concentrate on my creativity skills for activities, lessons, classroom management, fundraisers and more.
My Journey
I still remember the nervousness as I walked into the classroom and how exhausted I felt at the end of my first week. I wanted to excel in the classroom but I didn’t have the energy to spend my nights and weekends creating every single activity for my students. TeachersPayTeachers truly saved me during that first year.
As years went on, I honed in on my skills and found that I still relied on Teachers Pay Teachers for a portion of my classroom decor and activities. However, I started to create some things of my own.My passion is in developing classroom resources that will allow for learning and engagement for a variety of diverse learners.
My mission is to give educators the tools to create a classroom environment where both teachers and students are able to thrive and grow as learners.
Through my store, I am investing my time into creating quality resources for educators as well as sharing my expertise on best practices in the classroom.
My Home Life
I was raised and educated in the sunshine state of Florida. Because of this, I love to go to the beach when I get free time! I am also a novice yoga student and love going to yoga classes as often as I can fit into my schedule.
My pride and joy is a little puppy named Scoobie. He is just like me. He enjoys long walks on the beach, cuddles and playing fetch. He is 2 years old now and growing so quickly. It's definitely not the same as the "terrific twos" I encountered in preschool but he's truly terrific!
