Jen (@sparklinginsecondgrade)
Jen is a 2nd grade teacher, but her activities and lessons are awesome for a variety of elementary-age students. Fun math lessons, books to read aloud with accompanying activities, how to incorporate sight words into other subject lessons. Her resources are often linked in her posts, so you can quickly download and use them with your own children at home!

All things literature! She has great book suggestions and does a wonderful job of creating cross-curricular connections with books on a variety of topics like Earth Day, poetry, navigating challenging circumstances, and more!
