About Me

 I have been teaching Kindergarten for the past 7 years. Two years ago I joined a committee in my school district, where we created common formative assessments for the Kindergarten Common Core Standards. I created the website www.commoncore.webnode.com which is a website that has all the assessments available for our kindergarten teachers to access. After fully implementing the Common Core Standards last year I encountered a huge problem! With all the assessments there were the kindergarten teachers were having to carry around HUGE binders and boxes of assessments! That meant that for every meeting and every grading period, you would have to lug these cumbersome binders and boxes around. Plus, we killed so many trees making all the copies.

I came up with the idea to create an app to hold all my assessments. After over a year of planning, researching, and technological frustration I was finally able to create my app. I use it in my classroom now and cannot imagine assessing without it. All the assessments are nicely organized and easy to use. It is extremely easy to carry around, and I am not killing trees anymore!

  I love my idea so much I decided to share my idea. I posted a free download on Teachers Pay Teachers to give people free access to the app I created. It has currently been downloaded over 100 times and I have received very positive feedback. It got me thinking about helping other teachers get access to their own custom made app. Thus, this is how this adventure started!
