Desert Designed

About me: I’m an elementary classroom teacher, curriculum creator, and STEAM specialist with over 20 years of experience teaching in public schools. I’ve taught first through fifth grades and now design hands-on, cross-curricular lessons that build curiosity, creativity, and core skills. Since 2013 I’ve created teacher-tested resources to save you time and boost student learning. My materials are standards-aligned, scaffolded from guided practice to independence, and available in both digital Boom cards and printable formats. You’ll find phonics and decoding practice, number sense routines, grammar and writing supports, low-prep STEAM challenges, and quick assessments with progress-monitoring tools. I design with classroom realities in mind: minimal prep, clear learning targets, differentiation options, and targeted skills. I value teacher feedback and regularly update materials based on classroom use. My targeted decks focus on elementary ELA and mathematics standards with focus on specific skills.
