Making Middle School Teaching Just a Little Easier
Explore teaching ideas, strategies and resources for ELA and Social Studies content!
About Me:
My name is Olya and I have been a middle school teacher for 16 years, the first 11 spent in a social studies classroom. Over the past few years I have expanded to also teaching ELA and have found that I absolutely love it! I am also the teacher-creator behind the MissVHistory TPT store. My goal is to continue to bring you tips and tricks and all the teacher stuff you need for middle school teaching.
Because teaching middle school is hard.
I'm here to make it just a little easier.
