Well hello!

Welcome to my new blogging adventure. I am Mrs. S, a mom and a teacher at an online elementary school. What does that mean? Well, I am a resource for families who are learning at home. I have been an elementary and middle school teacher for going on 14 years now. I have taught grades K-8 in classrooms and online in 4 states!


A big part of my job is helping parents teach their children. I pull from my classroom AND mom experience to come up with helpful suggestions for families.

Boys who don't like to write?

Tricks for learning multiplication facts?

Teaching more than one student at home?

I hear the same questions over and over again, so I thought it might be helpful to post them here. Then I will offer my advice as well as online resources for parents who may be looking for answers. I invite you to add your advice as well.


I'm up for the challenge. Are you?
