With 20+ years in education, I bring real classroom experience to everything I create and share. I’m a national professional development speaker, instructional coach, former kindergarten teacher, educational consultant, and influencer passionate about helping teachers make learning meaningful, engaging, and manageable.
I started Kindergarten Chaos because I wanted to share that teaching Little Learners can be intentional, purposeful, yet fun! I also found that the resources I was purchasing weren’t designed for the realities of an actual kindergarten classroom — so I began creating my own. Everything you’ll find here has been tested with real Little Learners, usually mine first.
Today, more than 200,000 educators follow Kindergarten Chaos for hands-on ideas, practical teaching strategies, engaging resources, and real-talk support for the primary classroom. Even after all these years, I’m still actively working in classrooms every day, supporting teachers and students where it matters most.
I had never used punch cards before and this resource was really a good way to practice lettters and work on fine motor skills. The students who have been using this resource are showing progress in their hand strength and penmanship.
Starting from scratch at the beginning of kindergarten helped students know exactly what was expected and how to use materials correctly. This resource was a great tool to teach and introduce how to use supplies correctly.
I have only been teaching kindergarten for two years and I found this my first year. It was a very successful and engaging way to introduce school supply procedures and expectations. Both years that I have used it have been smooth introductions to the use of school supplies because of this resource. Thank you!
I liked how I could differentiate the labeling. I found the labeling unit a great way to reinforce what it means to label a picture. It had many different items that could be label that aligned with my curriculum.
This CVC resource has been a hit in my first grade classroom! The activity is fun, hands-on, and perfect for reinforcing those essential early reading skills. My students love the picture cues, and I love how easy it is to prep. Perfect for word work and literacy centers!
