Angie helped me get my K job since I rocked the interview from binge watching her content. Now I’m using her content to prepare for what’s ahead of me. How awesome to be able to get free downloads of the things I need to ensure a successful year. She has also taken time to answer questions I’ve submitted through email. She is simply the best resource I know of for all things teaching!

Watching this as a homeschool mom. This is such a gem of a video for me. So glad you included us 😊 I like to use the district school calendar and the state learning standards to help guide me and this video helps me even further, seeing how you organize it all. Thank you!

I love Frixion pens btw 😊

Thanks Angie. Love your videos and advice! I teach 3rd grade and love this grade. I taught them your chant - if you see it, pick it up. Not only has this worked for some but they enjoy singing it. ♥️
