Hi, I'm Marianna!

I love helping teachers plan and implement engaging, standards-based lessons that are focused on student creativity and choice.

You’re in the right place if you:

…don’t have the time or energy to plan engaging, content-based activities by yourself.
…want to keep students interested in your lessons by utilizing student choice and creativity.
…have been looking for resources that can easily be adapted to meet the needs of your class this year…next year…and the year after that!

Rave Reviews

Great resource for homework or independent reading. Students love having choices. I loved having digital or print options as well as being provided with an editable option. Thank you!

Great resource! Easy prep and love the activities for my students. My students love that they get to choose their activity. Thank you!

This was super helpful. The powerpoint was very clear and the students came away from the lesson with a strong understanding of the difference between primary and secondary resources.

Very helpful for group work and guided reading!

I love the green and blue watercolors! I wanted something that would have a calming look to the room. I love the way it made the room look! I even had a few parents compliment the decor as well!

This is a great option for my students offline learning time and is useful for many different types of learners as there are so many options of activities. I will definitely use this resource again in the future.
