My new Magna-Tiles Growing Bundle is live! 🎉 You've been asking me for more magnetic tile resources forever, so I finally made them. Here's how they work: students look at a challenge card, build the image with their own tiles, then match the real-photo vocabulary card. Build it, name it, own it. 3 levels plus "Can You Draw It?" pages, so it stretches into fine motor, vocab, AND a STEM center. It's a growing bundle with 18 topics total. 6 are ready now (Pets, Trees, Plants, Community Helpers, Dinosaurs, Back to school), and 12 more are coming, including Back to School, Numbers & Letters in July. Here's the deal: it's $18 right now for all 18, a dollar a set, and the price goes up every time I add one. Grab it now, get everything future free. 👇 [→Get the Growing Bundle Here] Can't wait to see your students building and drawing their vocabulary words!

The Curriculum Corner is the foundations course for The Creative Curriculum. Nine lessons, five videos in each one, walking you through exactly how I used The Creative Curriculum in my own classroom from the very beginning to the end of the year.

Start at Lesson 1 if you want the full picture, or go straight to the lesson that matches what you are staring down this week. Assessment season, a study you are about to launch, your daily schedule.

Welcome to the Teacher Hub! 🍎 I'm so glad you found your way here. This community is built by teachers, for teachers, and it truly gets better with every new voice in the room. So before you do anything else, let's get to know each other! Drop a comment and share: 🚸 Who you teach and their age group 🎯 One goal you're working toward this year, in your classroom or in your life ⚡ Something you love outside of teaching The best part of this Hub is the teachers in it, and that now includes you. 🎉

Hey teachers! 😊 Real talk for a second. The first six weeks of school are the hardest weeks of the whole year. Routines that fall apart, big feelings at drop-off, a schedule that exists only in your head. Every year we say we'll get ahead of it, and every year August eats us alive. So tell me: what's the ONE thing about the beginning of the year that stresses you out most? Drop it in the comments. Your answers are shaping what I build next. 👇🏽 And here's what's happening one level up, because I'd feel bad if you found out later. Inside the Pre-K Prep Club for Teachers ($7 a month), members get: 🎉 300+ done-for-you resources, ready to print and use + monthly drops 🎉 The Jumpstart Challenge for play-based learning 🎉 The Jumpstart Challenge for The Creative Curriculum 🎉 With done-for-you resources and video guides for both challenges 🎉 This August: a LIVE workshop, Your First Six Weeks Playbook, so you walk into the new year with a plan instead of a panic. This workshop is for you no matter what curriculum you use. You'll walk away knowing what developmentally appropriate practice looks like in those first weeks, so you can bring it into YOUR room no matter what your program hands you. We'll use the 2026 Creative Curriculum preschool guide as our example because it's one of the most well-rounded versions out there. Club members are voting on the workshop date right now. Join this month and you get a say in when it happens, a live seat with Q&A, and the replay forever. The resources will always be there. Being in the room while this gets built happens once. 🙌🏽 If August-you deserves a calmer start, come join us here. Already a Club member on our other platform? You're covered. Stay tuned for your invite, appreciate your patience! And even if the Club isn't for you right now, tell me your biggest beginning-of-year struggle below. This community is exactly where those conversations belong. 🤗 Thanks for being a part of it.
