I’m Carrie from Learnminded! I am a full-time classroom teacher by day, diet coke-fueled resource creator by early morning (and sometimes during lunch if I’m lucky enough to actually get one). I’ve been in the classroom for 15 years, earned my master’s degree, and I’m also a certified reading specialist—which basically means I love helping kids become stronger readers and I’ve attended more PDs than should be legally allowed.
This little corner of the internet is where I am starting to share classroom-tested ideas, helpful printables, and real talk about what it’s like in the trenches of education. No Pinterest-perfect fluff here—just things that actually work with real students… you know, the kind who definitely didn’t read the directions.
If you’re the kind of teacher who wants to save time, stay sane, and maybe even laugh a little in between the chaos of fire drills, surprise assemblies, and “I have to go to the bathroom” for the 14th time—you’re in the right place.
I create resources for hardworking teachers like you because we don’t have time to reinvent the wheel. We’re too busy holding it all together with hairspray, sarcasm and sass, with a load of sheer willpower.
So grab your favorite pen (you know, the one you hide from the kids), and let’s make teaching a little easier—and a lot more fun.
