These elements are designed to promote empathy and understanding. Parents are encouraged to review the story if they have concerns about sensitive themes. No prior sewing experience is required, and all materials are safe for children.

My name is Kailee Trippett and I taught 2nd grade for 7 years. I love teaching strategies and tools to help students become confident and successful readers, writers, and mathematicians. While I offer many 2nd-grade core classes, I also offer some fun supplemental classes. I have taught theatre, music and drama for 2 years, and enjoy those subjects as well. I can't wait to meet your learner and see them grow!Reviews
