About Me

Hello!  I’m Casey from Kindergarten Korner and I am so happy you’re here!  I have been teaching kindergarten since 2006. Time sure goes by quickly.  I often think to myself, “Where were Teachers Pay Teachers, Pinterest, and all of these amazing teacher blogs when I started my career?” We are so fortunate today to have these resources that allow teachers the opportunities to connect and collaborate. I love learning new things from all of the incredible teachers out there.  This blog allows me to share my ideas with YOU!

Prior to beginning my blogging journey, I started selling my digital teaching resources on Teachers Pay Teachers.  I had always created my own lessons and worksheets.  My friend Jen @primaryworld123 convinced me to upload my resources to TPT.  I wish I could say that this is where I became an overnight success, but that is not my story.  I dabbled in TPT for awhile, and I was doing okay-ish.  If only I had more time to create, I knew I could be more successful.  When I had my son in 2017, I took a year-long unpaid maternity leave.  I made a promise to myself to devote more time to my online business.  When my daughters were in school and my son took two naps a day, I used that time to work on my TPT Store.  I found that what I loved even more than creating resources was helping other teachers around the world.  Receiving feedback and seeing your products being used in classrooms around the world is truly the best feeling ever!  I can’t even explain it.

Around that time, I entered the blogging world originally using Blogger until I found Alexis from Laugh Eat Learn.  With her help and expertise, I moved over to Word Press and launched KindergartenKorner.com.  Over the past few years, blogging has become a passion of mine.  Recently, Kindergarten Korner was ranked as one of the Top 100 Kindergarten Blogs of 2020 by Rankedblogs.com.  I love writing about topics that help fellow educators.  Some wonderful opportunities to collaborate with my favorite educational companies have also come my way thanks to this little blog.   I hope that my content inspires you as so many blogs have inspired me to be the best kindergarten teacher I can be.

I hope that you’ll join me on my journey.  It takes a village, and I’m here if you need someone in your corner – your “Kindergarten Korner.”

I’m happily married to the most AMAZING guy in the world!

 

I am a Mommy to three children, who are my world.  My daughters are 14 and 11, and my son is 4.
