My name is Mary and I am a mother of two small children. When I am not changing diapers, I teach elementary science. I have worked at a small charter school for the last five years and been fortunate to be part of a school that is supportive of science education. I also create and sell science activities on TPT. Next year, I will complete my M.Ed. in Counseling.
I consider myself a life long student. I’ve studied art, photography, nursing, education, and worked in more industries than I care to mention. I am naturally curious and eager to learn, which is probably why teaching science became the career choice that finally settled me down into adult life.

The ultimate goal of my blog is to help both new and veteran teachers be the best they can be! We are stronger when we collaborate, and I will be providing resources and advice that have helped me be a better teacher. I also hope to provide a platform for other science teachers to share their opinions and passions.
