HI, I’M KIRSTEN!
I’m a former upper elementary teacher who has taught in multiple districts in Texas. I’ve taken my 11+ years of experience along with my M.Ed in Elementary Education and applied my expertise to each resource I create. I’ve totally been there –
- Searching all over the internet to find the right social studies resources that align with my state’s standards and weren’t too easy or boring for my students
- Scrambling at the last minute to come up with a lesson or activity that aligns with a current event or holiday
- Trying to figure out a schedule that fits social studies with all the 150 million things I had to cover before state testing
This social studies curriculum is here to change that. No more fighting to fit social studies into your schedule or wasting precious time looking for activities (only to end up with bored students).
