About Me

My name is Michele and I love to teach, travel, and talk!  I’ve been a teacher as long as I can remember, but only 15 years in the formal sense, and I’ve taught everything in the Social Studies and ELA Departments from grades 6-12.

Creating new resources for the Social Studies classroom is my true passion.  I love making resources I know will help students learn better and teachers teach easier!
