Educents Launch!

We got great news!!! Educents is opening a marketplace, which means now you can purchase items from seller stores any day. That is in addition to the great deals they already offer. There are over 500 stores in the marketplace for you to save some money.
Some great bloggers and I are joining together on this blog hop to introduce ourselves and show you the great products we have in our stores!

I’m currently in my 11th year as an educator with a passion for Literacy! I have taught in Florida, Georgia & North Carolina. I have instructed in all of the K-5 Grade Levels except 1st Grade. I have also instructed in the Co-Teaching setting as well as the Inclusion setting. I have a degree in Elementary Education with a Masters in Educational Leadership. I also have my Reading Specialist Certificate. I am currently a Literacy Coach at a year around school.

I am a USMC wife with a 3 year old daughter & 2 large dogs. I was born in NY & was raised in FL. I played softball through college & still have a passion for the sport along with other sports.

be in the sun!

I love to go to the pool & beach weekly with my husband, daughter & friends. I also enjoy outdoor activities, gatherings & sporting events.

If I’m indoors I like to clean & organize, crazy right?!?! LOL! Everything has a place & it has to be just right.

I enjoy creating crafts for my home & life along with creating educational products.

You can also find me at the gym. I try to get up to 4 days a week in at the gym. I mentally & physically feel better when I work out. It is a daily brain detox. It’s the only time of day I don’t think about anything but myself.

A few things I’m obsessed with are chalkboards, pens/markers, stationary, front/back porch decorating, clean eating & part-time homeschooling my daughter! Yes, I love to sit down a few times a week & work with her on her letters, numbers & fine motor skills. I like to practice what I preach to parents… Teachers can’t educate children alone, they need to be a team with parents! It is my goal to be the parent who reads every day with my child & “instructs” at least 3 days a week for reinforcement of skills & concepts.

At the end of the previous school year I started to read, research & experiment with implementing Close Reading during my small group instruction. I quickly fell in love with the results & enthusiasm I was seeing from my students. So I made it my mission for this current school year to implement a Close Reading Book Study at school during the 1st Semester along with creating a yearly series of Close Reading Packs in my store. Each month I have created a high-interest Informational Close Reading pack that can be implemented in a variety of ways. You can implement this product on a weekly basis as there is 4 weeks worth of materials for 1 passage. You can use these with students in whole group, small group or independently.
