Hi, I’m Erin!

Welcome to Inspired Elementary®, a place where learning is meant to feel engaging, doable, and fun!

I’m an educator with more than two decades of experience as well as the creator behind Inspired Elementary. After years in the classroom, I know firsthand how much teachers are asked to fit into every school day, and how challenging it can be to keep students engaged while still making sure meaningful learning is happening.

That’s exactly why I created Inspired Elementary®!

My passion is developing creative, hands-on, low-prep resources that help children build confidence, strengthen important skills, and actually enjoy the process of learning.

Around here, you’ll find practical ideas and resources designed to make life a little easier for busy teachers and parents. Everything from engaging math and literacy activities to learning games, skill practice, classroom ideas, and simple ways to make everyday lessons more memorable.

Created by a Teacher, for Teachers & Families

Inspired Elementary began from my own love of creating activities that made my students excited to learn.

Over the years, it has grown into a collection of resources used by thousands of teachers and parents — but the heart behind it has stayed the same.

I want to help you spend less time searching and prepping and more time watching those wonderful “I get it!” moments happen.

Whether you’re teaching a classroom full of students, supporting your child at home, looking for extra skill practice, or simply searching for a more engaging way to teach a concept, I hope Inspired Elementary® becomes a resource you can return to again and again.
