Get to know the authors behind Teach in the Heart of Texas

Teach in the Heart of Texas is authored by a mother-daughter team. We have enjoyed collaborating on several educational projects. We have fun getting together for occasional game nights, going for walks by the lake, and decorating for the holidays.

We also share spending time with this darling Zuchon, Gracie. She loves to play with toys, chase leaves around the yard, and snuggle. She is also the pickiest eater… unless you’re talking about treats. Gracie loves a good snack!

TEACHING WITH CREATION CASTLE

Heather is the author of Creation Castle. She has experience with general education, special education, and ESL students in kindergarten through fifth grade. She specializes in early elementary math and literacy, as well as organization.

When Heather isn’t creating new resources for her store, she is probably rewatching Friends for the 500th time, reading a good book, or searching for some new music on Spotify. She also loves to spend time with her niece and nephews.
