HEY THERE! I'M JENNIFER.

Welcome to my creative space! I'm glad you are here to enjoy my literacy-related ideas, activities, and personal musings I share. I call both my TpT shop and blog my happy places! I get great personal and professional satisfaction from sharing what worked in my elementary classroom and with my Reading Intervention groups throughout my 30-year career! As a veteran educator, my goal is to provide you with resources, mentor texts, and instructional methods that allow you to work smarter, not harder!
