Hi there! I’m Jewel, the Teacher-Author behind Jewel’s School Gems. I’m obsessed with Science and STEM/STEAM/STREAM. I also love technology-based and digital resources. I enjoy helping elementary teachers like you save time so you can focus more on teaching and enjoying your hours after school. I’m so thrilled to have you here!

I just LOVE what I do and I believe it shows in the sparkle of my work! I treat every resource I create like a masterpiece. More importantly, I enjoy helping teachers like you make learning really enjoyable for your students. I think mixing critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration with creativity generates a teaching and learning experience nothing short of memorable, useful, and fun!

It’s my mission and passion to make you fall in love with your teaching every day, over and over again, without having to sacrifice precious time that you would rather spend cuddling with your husband on the couch or reading stories to your babies before bed time. I want to give you back your time that you’d rather spend having a bubble bath or doing online shopping.

In short, it’s my goal to see you happy and satisfied with your teaching and personal life because of the resources I create.

I know how important it is to have satisfaction at work and have more control of your time because I’m also a classroom teacher. I have taught children and adults a variety of subjects from kindergarten to university level since 2003.

By the way, I‘m a wife to a committed and super funny husband and a mommy to a sweet little girl and a cute baby boy. We live on a ten-acre farm here in the Land Down Under with our chocolate lab, two alpacas, and a flock of dorper sheep.

I feel really blessed for being able to share my passion for creating resources for teachers like you and students all over the world. It’s like living a charmed life! I’m sooo happy to connect with you and thanks for being a blessing!
