About

I am the educator and writer behind Miss Clark's Spoonful. I graduated from Quinnipiac University with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a master’s degree in Elementary Education.

To me, education is a spoonful of discovery, creativity, and inspiration. Just like a recipe, it requires the right mix of ingredients to nurture young minds.

My approach is centered on creating an inclusive, engaging, and supportive classroom environment where every student can thrive. I strive to inspire a love of learning, encourage curiosity, and build confidence in each of my students!

MY LOVE OF TEACHING

Right out of college, I landed my job teaching first grade, and I absolutely loved it! I spent the next four year teaching first grade, until a move to a new city and a new school brought a bump up to second grade. It was just as fun!

In my newest teaching adventure, I am at my same school but teaching kindergarten. What a joy it has been!

The 2024 - 2025 school year will mark my 13th year teaching. Time flies when you're having fun!

BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

I have been a teacher author on Teachers Pay Teachers since 2012. I love creating new resources for the classroom, and starting my own TpT shop allowed me to find an outlet for my creativity, and become part of such a wonderful teaching community. I have been blessed to make some incredible friends!

      
      

"Real life" speaking, I love spending time with my family and friends.

   

I also love large earrings, holidays (I'm basically an elf), Mexican food, sushi, scrolling away on Instagram, all things pink, fashion, podcasts, YouTube vlogs, true crime, daytime talk shows, and reality TV. I absolutely live for the summer season!

Oh, and I'm totally not a sports person.

This about sums up my sports knowledge/interest:

I'm pretty passionate about self care and mental health. We all have our individual stories and challenges. Gabby Bernstein and Kris Carr are a couple of my go-to gurus for all things wellness.

   

Fun fact: I'm a HUGE Survivor fan. I've applied to be on the show four times. It's my ultimate dream.

      

WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE

I love creating classroom resources that are practical for teachers and engaging for students! In my little corner of the internet here, I hope to share lots about them along with my experiences and teacher tips. If you’re looking for creative teaching ideas, classroom management strategies, or just a dash of inspiration, you’ll find it in this space.

There you have it! In a nutshell, I'm a teacher, sister, daughter, and friend. I believe that gratitude is the attitude, and I'm so blessed to have a career that allows me to be creative and connect with all of you.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you stay awhile.
