Hi everyone! I'm Miranda.
I am in the classroom teaching Kindergarten in Niagara Falls, Ontario while also running my TPT shop and blog. This is my 7th year teaching and my second in Kindergarten.
Before getting into K I taught grade 3 and did lots of prep/rotary coverage (primary science/social studies/arts). Kindergarten totally has my heart though and I hope to stay in K for life!
I have my Masters of Education and a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education too. I am a Registered ECE and worked as an ECE for my board 2 years before I started teaching as an Ontario Certified Teacher.
We focus on a play-based curriculum here in Ontario. Many activities in the classroom are led through inquiry and play!

When I was a first year teacher I survived through the collaboration of my team and through all the advice and resources they shared with me. I absolutely love the idea of being able to help teachers in need which is one of the reasons I decided to start creating on TPT.
To date over 20,000 educators have my products in their classrooms, and every single one of those items downloaded has given me a warm tingly feeling!
Whenever I am creating or staging items from my shop, you will always be able to find my cat Lully by my side. She is the cat from A Teacher and her Cat. I figured since she’s involved in all that I do, she should have a part of my name. Though she IS cute, she can admittedly be annoying, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that occasionally I’ll tell her that she’s walking a dangerous line to me changing my name to @ateacherbyherself. Ha!
I can’t wait to share ideas and resources with you!
My Mission
I strive to provide teachers with fun and engaging activities that help reinforce academic concepts in a fun way for students!
