Looking for engaging classroom resources?

Don’t reinvent the wheel.

Hello, there! I am Lindsey Erickson (a.k.a. The Teacher Wife), and I am a licensed educator from Utah. If you are looking for time-saving classroom resources, then you’ve come to the right place! I’m dedicated to providing K-3 teachers with professional teaching activities, lesson plans, and inspiration so they can be successful in their classrooms.

During my first year of teaching (about 10 years ago) I started blogging and creating classroom resources for teachers just like you! Since then, I’ve connected with thousands of passionate educators (and parents) who use my printables every day. 

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with full-time teaching experience in 1st and 2nd grade. (My heart belongs in 1st grade!) 

Besides teaching, I also love my daily 44 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper and listening to music full blast in my minivan. I am married to a man who is tall, dark, and handsome (literally — he’s a foot taller than me) and I have two young children, a boy and a girl. Being a mom and a teacher is all I ever wanted, so I really am living my dream!

My goal here is to provide professional teaching resources that will save you time and help your students thrive in the classroom. Take a look around my blog or head on over to my Teachers Pay Teachers store to find everything you need to get started.
