WELCOME TO TARHEELSTATE TEACHER

I'm Tammy and I'm so glad you're here!

My resources are designed to save you time and bring joy back to teaching, because you deserve to be a teacher while filling ALL the cups of your own soul, too! Weekends should be yours –not find you deep in lesson planning and laminating.

Being a total Monica Geller type, I love to think in terms of systems that save us time in the future. My resources are created with a deep passion for differentiated learning, pattern-based spelling instruction, and SEL resources that build real classroom community — not just manage behavior.

    This is an amazing resource with so many meaningful and engaging activities. I was not given any type of SEL curriculum in my current district, and I am a newer teacher, so this has been a lifesaver! My students are in desperate need of so many of these skills. Definitely worth the money!

  • Engaging spelling activities and resources for spellers in the Syllables and Affixes stage including word searches, fill-in-the-blank activities, interactive spelling notebook exercises, and weekly spelling homework.

    I love being able to naturally follow this spelling progression for my students that are a bit behind with their spelling skills. I have noticed them making leaps and bounds by utilizing these weekly lists.

    This resource is great for providing an extra "boost" in fact fluency with my small groups! It is organized, effective, and students found it engaging! I like the recommendations for how to use, it is adaptable to your own specific needs, but can also just be used as independent work. This would be great for lower elementary as well to begin introducing the multiplication facts by digit.
