Really Roper

Hi friends! 👋
If you’re new here, I’m a kindergarten teacher of 25 years, a mom of three, a cheer mom, and a competitive dance mom — so yes… life is beautifully chaotic around here! Between lesson planning, classroom prep, and running from the studio to the sidelines, I try to keep everything as organized and joyful as possible.

One of the ways I do that is by keeping an updated Amazon Teacher Wishlist. Over the years, so many generous families and friends have asked how they can support my classroom, and a wishlist makes it easy to share the things that truly help my students learn, grow, and shine. 

1. These are my favorite stools for my class!  My kids don't fall off these ones as often! I have 2, but would love a whole kidney table of them!  Right now I have 2 lime green metal ones, 2 purple ones, and 2 dark green... it is a hot mess! {Contains affiliate link}

2. These Amazon Basic pens are so nice.  I really like how they write and the colors! Click the photo to find them on Amazon! {Contains affiliate link}

3. I would love to be able to turn out the bright lights and use lamps!  I am working on getting enough for the kids to see!  This floor lamp would be so cool to change colors for different events!

4. These magnetic blocks are a favorite center for my class!  I would like to have more of them in my center bin!  They really love to match them by color and make cute little houses!  These are kid-approved in my classroom!  

5. The mini easels are always appreciated!  I like to make my anchor charts on these mini ones to hang up!  

As I jump into this new season, I’m reimagining my entire Teachers Pay Teachers store and adding lots of fresh, classroom-ready resources! I can’t wait to share all the new things I’ve been creating — from organization tools to parent communication helpers to activities that make teaching just a little bit easier.

Be sure to keep an eye out, because every new item will be FREE for the first 24 hours! It’s my little way of saying thank you for being here, supporting my work, and cheering me on through teaching, parenting, cheer mom life, and dance mom life.

I’m so excited for what’s coming next — and I’m grateful to have you along for the journey! 

💛 Stay tuned!
