About Me

abou

Hey, I’m Bethany!  I am a first grade teacher in beautiful Northern Utah and I am currently in my tenth year of teaching.  Every single day I am learning something new and finding ways to be a better teacher.  I love education and I love the sweet students that are entrusted to me each year!

Nine years ago I married my high school sweetheart, James, and he is an artist/illustrator who works from his studio in our home.  You can check out his incredible talent here.  We have two sweet little boys, Halvor and Wils, who are our entire world!  I am always so excited at the end of the school day when I can go home and play with my little guys.  They are everything!

In my spare time I love hanging out with my family, playing with Legos and trains with my baby boys, reading, baking, quilting, hiking, watching a good Jane Austen movie, or creating teaching products for fabulous teachers all around the world!  You can check out my TPT store here or my Boom store here.  I seriously LOVE making new resources to use with my own students and I feel so tremendously honored when you also choose to use them with yours!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I hope that you are able to enjoy my blog and find a little something here that encourages or inspires you and your precious students.  Happy teaching!

Love, Bethany
