So, what’s with the Prada name?
Ok, ok. So, no I don’t actually wear Prada. I just really loved the movie, The Devil Wears Prada. Ha. Anne Hathway, anyone? I just loveee her! Oh my gosh, The Princess Diaries and Ella Enchanted…soooo good. But really though. As I was watching that movie yearssss ago, the name just came to me. And since I love all things fashion and only wish I could afford to wear Prada, the name was perfect. Although my “Prada” is considered dresses from Loft and Target, I always felt it was important to look nice and dress up for work, even if I was sitting on the floor with the kids. That being said, when I’m not in the classroom you can find me in yoga pants, converses, and a cute headband, of course.
More about me..
I graduated from the College of William and Mary in VA with a double major in Elementary Education and Psychology. I’m a nerd and love to research & learn new things in education. I have been teaching for 10 years. I’ve taught first, second, third & fourth grade! 2nd grade is hands down my favorite grade to teach! You’ll find that many of the resources I create are geared towards 2nd and 3rd grade, for now. 4th grade resources are coming soon.
