I'm Amanda! Welcome to my blog!
I am an elementary school teacher in Central Florida and a teaching artist at Ocala Civic Theatre. I have been the proud owner of Daisy Designs since 2014 and love creating activities for my students and resources for other teachers!
I created Daisy Designs in 2014 as a way of sharing my creations that I was already making in college. That's right. I wasn't even a teacher yet. But I figured that I was already making things and had to for a grade, so why not share them and meet other people in my future profession? Needless to say, I feel in love and learned so much that helped me become a better teacher and content creator.
The name Daisy Designs was inspired by my little chihuahua, Daisy! In fact, her sweet face was my first ever Daisy Designs logo! Daisy is still with us today at 10 years old and I love having her as the original inspiration for my content.
I currently stay home with my two little ones after years of teaching Kindergarten, second grade, and one year in third grade. I can very honestly say that second grade is my absolute favorite but the resources in my TpT store reflect primarily grades K-2.
I also have been a teaching artist at Ocala Civic Theatre for the last 12 years. This is what made me want to be a teacher in the first place. As a former theater student and performer, I took a job teaching Acting and Musical Theatre and fell in love with the education process and the rest is history. I continue to work for this organization as another way to stay creative, give me an opportunity to work in another area I am passionate about (theatre), and give back to the community by providing fine arts education to all ages.
I am married with two little ones of my own, Isaac and Savannah. They make life such an incredible adventure and you will see many a blog post about their journeys in education as well.
I also have a hobby in video editing! I manage my husband's YouTube channel (BrutallStatic) and have my own YouTube channel for something completely unrelated to education. I am a TOTAL bookworm and read for pleasure everyday. I am also a huge fan of the Booktube community. If you are not familiar with it but would like to learn more, check out my channel below.
