About Me

Are you ready to bring simplicity and joy back to teaching and learning?

You’re in the right place.

There have been times, when I have been so frustrated feeling like my learners weren’t engaged, driven or happy. I missed the good old days of themes, centers and fun activities.

The only problem was…

  • my students and were frutrated or bored learning straight from some of the programs given school districts
  • my learners needed so much
  • I was searching and longing for the joy I once had in teaching
  • with three children at home, I didn’t have time to do the elaborate activities I did in my first few years of teaching

I’d been wishing that teaching was easier and, quite frankly, just more fun.

Due to a lack of time to create, I quickly realized that “fun and engaging” does not have to equal “over the top”. So,

I’m Kinney, and I  am all about bringing joy back to education.   I believe teaching and learning should be simple, fun, effective and engaging.   I believe less can be more and that you don’t have to be stressed out to be a GREAT teacher.

That’s why I love helping K-1 teachers like you bring the joy back to the classroom without all the stress and lack of easy, fun and effective resources that gets in your way).

I create standards-based simple and supplemental lessons, centers, activities and resources to bring the excitement back to my elementary classroom— not only for my students, but for myself too.
