Kindergarten Resources from Someone Who’s Right There with You

Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm a kinder teacher, and I KNOW how overwhelming this job can feel. I know what it feels like to sit on the floor surrounded by materials, trying to piece together a lesson for the next day. I know what it feels like to spend hours planning, only to wonder if it’s even β€œright.” I know what it feels like to care so much and still feel like you’re falling short.

Through lots of trial and error, over time, I started creating simple systems and routines that really worked in my classroom.

Now, I’m able to plan and prep weeks in advance, my classroom runs smoothly (okay, maybe a Chromebook issue here and there!), my students are engaged, and we’re all having a LOT more fun. (Click for confetti!!)

I want the same for you!
