We're Claire and Terry, two Ontario teachers with a combined 40+ years of teaching experience! Claire is the upper elementary teacher and Terry specializes in middle school.

You can find lots of useful tips, strategies and resources on our blog to help you fill those teaching potholes and enjoy each day!
