Milton because it just seemed like the perfect name for a gangly, clumsy moose – my favorite animal. Prescott, a proper little British hedgehog who knows a few things more than his good friend Milton, chosen because a hedgehog was my most unique pet – at least for now. I’m a more than a little bit of a critter lover. 

Now that you know the backstory I’ll share a little about myself. 

I am Kasey, a certified early childhood teacher. Having taught grades pre-k to 2, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that kindergarten is my jam with pre-k running a very close second. Saying your passionate about something seems to be becoming passé but I, still am, even after years of teaching. I am passionate about early education, specifically within pre-k and kindergarten!

Creating for my classroom invigorates me! Finding something that appeals to my students or answers a need I see they have is the best feeling. The letter books that we have available were actually created in response to my pre-kinders wanting books to read like their more advanced friends. They were so excited to get to practice their letters with their new books. That is my why, and its worth every hour and penny spent! Sometimes, its not what the world or the researchers say is the best way, sometimes we have to listen to what students say their needs and wants are.
