Hello! I'm Kara! 

 I'm a 25 year veteran teacher who has taught 1st grade, 3rd grade, and Title 1 Reading. My passion is not only teaching students but teaching and helping teachers as well. My hope is that you can take your classroom to the next level  and turn it into something that you are proud of! Remember that we all have to start somewhere and that this is going to take dedication and hard work. But, if you have a growth mindset and want to take this journey with me I'd love to help you out! Everything in this membership I have tried myself and I know that they work. I'm a full-time teacher who is dedicated to helping teachers develop their craft in teaching cross-curricular using quality literature and engaging writing. Please reach out to me if you have any questions at:

Happy Teaching!

I love your Membership, and I have been a teacher for over 30 years! I wish all new teachers would watch your videos. I am in Canada and will be sending your name all over my district! Again, thank you!

Being a member of Cross-Curricular Connections has been transformative for my teaching practice. This group has provided me with innovative strategies to weave together different subject areas, creating a more cohesive and engaging learning experience for my students. By integrating disciplines such as literacy, science, art, and social studies, I’ve been able to design lessons that are not only meaningful but also relevant to my students' lives. The shared resources within this community have inspired me to think outside the box. For instance, I’ve learned how to use mentor texts to support everything I am teaching. These texts have sparked meaningful conversations in my classroom helping students connect their academic learning with real-world values. Being a part of Cross-Curricular Connections has not only enhanced my teaching toolkit but also fostered a love of learning in my students. The strategies and ideas I’ve gained have empowered me to create a classroom environment where curiosity thrives and learning feels seamless. I used this for my first 10 days of school. It was amazing. It was all done for me. Stress free. if you’re passionate about fostering deeper connections between subjects and creating a more engaging learning experience for your students, I highly recommend joining Cross-Curricular Connections. It’s an investment in your professional growth and your students’ success.

This has been a great investment. I’ve gotten so many ideas and suggestions and how-to plans. There is so much packed into each month’s resources. And if I get stuck on a particular area (math, management, writing, reading) I go back and rewatch the training videos. My students are much more engaged with the lessons and activities that I’ve been using from Kara’s cross curricular membership. This membership is amazing. We are only in day 12 of school and I have used 4 writing, 3 reading, and 5 cross curricular resources. So helpful! I started with membership level one and within the first week and a half I switched up to level 2.

Joining this membership has been so awesome! So many great ideas, plans at your fingertips! Don’t delay ! Wish I had joined last year!
