Welcome to love, laugh, teach where I share helpful tips and tricks for teachers, as well as fun and interesting ideas for the classroom. My name is Sydney and I’m from Northern Nevada. I received a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Nevada, Reno. I have taught 2nd, 4th, and 5th grade. Last year, I was transferred to a kindergarten position and I was terrified, to say the least. After navigating through my first year in kindergarten, I fell absolutely in love! Kindergarten is where I belong and most likely where I will stay. The world of education is vast and magnificent. It really does take a village. I am passionate about teaching and my students.
I am passionate about creating engaging and interactive lessons and resources for every classroom. I believe that students learn best when they are excited about learning and interested in the materials presented to them. Learning should be fun and I love helping teachers bring that fun and excitement to their classrooms!
When I’m not teaching, writing mystery games, creating resources, or blogging, I’m busy being a mom to three beautiful kids; Rylee, Maddelyn, and Sawyer. I love being a teacher, but being a mommy is my most important role.
My Teachers Pay Teachers name is Cultivating Lifetime Learners. I believe as educators, we are all lifetime learners and should instill a love of learning in our students.
I hope you enjoy my blog posts, teaching ideas, resources, and practical advice.
